Chypre

Alpa

Floral · Green · Sweet

Alpa Chypre is a floral, green and powdery unisex chypre that suits spring and autumn days, from daytime wear to the office. Oakmoss and tree moss give it a green, earthy base, while the chypre accord and floral notes sit on top of it. Musk and vanilla add a soft, slightly sweet powderiness, with a spicy touch staying in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and autumn, and daily wear and business settings lead the occasions. It reads equally well on men and women. Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile and Dana White Chantilly have a close profile.

378 (Voda po holení)

7.9

Alpa

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Alpa 378 (Voda po holení) is a fresh men's scent led by citrus notes, with a green, powdery side, suited to daytime and leisure wear. Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and is mostly noticed at a short distance. Summer and spring come first, though autumn and winter are not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and business settings lead, while evening and sport get fewer votes. The scent is built from citrus notes, floral notes and moss, read as a whole rather than in layers. It stays fresh and green throughout, softened by fruity and sweet touches. Spicy, woody and powdery accords round out the fougère character.

Windsor (Kolínská Voda)

7.3

Alpa

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Alpa Windsor (Kolínská Voda) is a fresh, green men's fragrance built from citrus fruits, herbs and woods. The scent reads as a single piece: citrus brightness meets the green tone of the herbs, and the woods lay a dry, woody floor beneath them. The fresh, citrusy side leads, while floral, sweet and spicy touches stay in the background. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as weak, so it sits close to the skin and fades quickly, though the number of votes is small. It is presented as a men's fragrance, and its simple, fresh build suits anyone wanting a light, cologne-style scent. Hollister Jake (Eau de Cologne) and L'Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence have a close profile.

Eau de Cologne Fougère

7.3

Alpa

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Alpa Eau de Cologne Fougère is a men's fragrance that leans towards spring and summer days, daily wear and the office, with a fresh, green, powdery fougère character. Most voters pick spring and summer, while autumn and winter trail well behind. Daytime, leisure and business are the most voted occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a low profile. It is classed as masculine. The notes read as one piece: oakmoss, tree moss and fougère notes build a green, earthy base, while lavender and coumarin pull it towards a fresh, powdery side. Spicy and woody accords stay in the background. Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche pour Homme (2011) and Mary Kay Domain have a close profile.
