Poudre d'Iris

Autour du Parfum

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Autour du Parfum Poudre d'Iris is a powdery, sweet and creamy unisex scent built around iris powder, heliotrope and almond blossom. It opens with neroli and angelica, which add a light floral brightness. In the heart, almond blossom, heliotrope and iris powder create a soft, powdery feel. The base of white musk, almond and sandalwood settles the scent into a creamy, sweet finish, with the spicy accord staying in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Jimmy Choo Iris Crush and Memo Paris Siwa (2018) have a close profile.

Ambre Mystère

7.9

Autour du Parfum

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Autour du Parfum Ambre Mystère is a sweet, resinous and smoky amber, described as unisex and worn more easily in the cooler months and in the evening. Benzoin, labdanum and vanilla build a warm, sweet resin base. Peru balsam and tolu balm soften it, while patchouli and vetiver add an earthy, woody weight; the spicy and powdery touches stay in the background. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Votes split between feminine and masculine, so it sits close to both. Réminiscence Le Patchouli Élixir and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Précieux Ultime have a close profile.

Patchouli Tonka

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Autour du Parfum Patchouli Tonka is a unisex scent led by patchouli and tonka bean, earthy and woody with a sweet side. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, with spring and winter next. It suits leisure, daytime and business wear, and voters split almost evenly between reading it as feminine and masculine. It opens fresh and green with orange, geranium and bergamot. Sandalwood, cedar and patchouli build a woody, earthy heart. Tonka bean and vanilla settle it into a creamy, sweet warmth, while resinous and spicy touches keep that sweetness in check.

Encens d'Ange

8.0

Autour du Parfum

Citrus · Green · Sweet

Autour du Parfum Encens d'Ange is a unisex citrus-and-resin scent that leans towards fall and winter, and it has been discontinued. Most voters pick fall, then winter, with spring close behind. It suits leisure time, evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small. Votes for masculine and feminine are split evenly, so it doesn't lean to either side. It opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, then moves into tolu balm, Peru balsam and balsam fir. Labdanum, musk, cedar and benzoin form the base. The citrus and green opening settles softly onto a resinous, creamy, lightly smoky base, with sweet and spicy touches alongside the woods.

Chypre Tubéreuse

8.0

Autour du Parfum

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Autour du Parfum Chypre Tubéreuse is a women's fragrance that opens with fruit and puts tuberose, jasmine and violet at its centre, resting on patchouli and leather. Nectarine and grapefruit open with a sweet, juicy brightness. In the heart, violet, jasmine and tuberose form a floral core. The base of patchouli, leather and amber weighs that sweet, floral structure down with spicy, animal and leathery tones. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick it for leisure and evening, while daily wear, nights out and the office each draw nearly the same share. Xerjoff Muse and Anatole Lebreton L'Eau Scandaleuse have a close profile.

Vanille Tonka

7.6

Autour du Parfum

Floral · Green · Sweet

Autour du Parfum Vanille Tonka is a sweet, creamy gourmand for women, built on vanilla and tonka bean and set on a resinous base. The notes read as one blend: vanilla and tonka bean carry the sweetness, while benzoin and tolu balm turn it into a soft, resinous warmth. Frankincense and fir balsam add a woody, faintly green edge, and bergamot loosens the richness a little. The feel is powdery and oriental, with the floral accord staying in the background. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it leaves a warm trail that stays fairly close to the skin. The number of votes is small. Rayhaan Rayhaan Elixir and Moresque Seta have a close profile.
