Naiad

Bud Parfums

Fresh · Floral · Green

Bud Parfums Naiad is a fresh, green fougère sold as a women's perfume, leaning towards spring and summer and easy daily wear. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It is chosen for daily, leisure and business wear, while evening and night out come up less. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters call it feminine more often than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine. The scent runs on a green, airy line: fern and moss give a damp, woodland-floor greenness, and musk softens it with a powdery warmth. A spicy touch sits among the accords, while the floral side stays in the background. Caron Les Plus Belles Lavandes and Andromeda's Curse Lichen have a close profile.

Ooh La La

6.2

Bud Parfums

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Bud Parfums Ooh La La pairs tea tree, vanilla and frangipani in a fresh, floral and sweet scent made for women. The notes read as a single whole: the fresh, citrusy lift of tea tree meets the floral side of frangipani, while vanilla sweetens and softens everything. Woody and oriental accents stay in the background and add a little warmth. Its longevity is rated good, though this rests on only a few votes. The fresh, sweet character sits close to everyday wear and should suit anyone who likes sweet florals. Provence & Nature Vanille Frangipanier and Lush Sikkim Girls (Perfume) have a similar profile.

If

7.7

Bud Parfums

Citrus · Sweet · Spicy

Bud Parfums If is a men's fragrance that sets bright citrus on a resinous, smoky and woody base. Lime and bergamot give it a fresh start, but sandalwood, patchouli, labdanum and frankincense soon soften that freshness. Laurel adds a bitter, green edge. The overall impression is sweet, spicy and faintly leathery, with the earthy and oriental side taking over. Its longevity is rated good, at 7.8 out of 10. The resinous, smoky build sits more comfortably in cool weather, though the citrus keeps it from feeling too heavy on warmer days. Chanel Le Lion de Chanel and Amouage Interlude Man have a close profile.

Autumn

6.4

Bud Parfums

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Bud Parfums Autumn is a sweet gourmand fragrance for women, led by vanilla cream, caramel and chocolate. The scent reads as one dense, sweet impression: vanilla cream and caramel build a soft, creamy base, chocolate adds a darker edge, and strawberry brings a touch of fruitiness. Floral, spicy, woody and powdery facets are present too, but they stay behind the gourmand character. Its longevity is rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so that rating is best read with caution. Presented as a women's fragrance, Autumn suits those who enjoy warm, sugary scents. Nina Ricci Luna and Karnain Tentation have a close profile.

Oakmoss and labdanum give it a green, earthy, slightly powdery depth, with the sweet, gourmand side staying in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so treat these as a rough guide. It reads as masculine. Anglia-Perfumery Spiced Limes and Woods of Windsor For Men / For Gentlemen have a close profile.

6.4

Bud Parfums
