Les Jardins Français - Patate Douce des Caraïbes et Carotte d'Afghanistan

Buly · 2023

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Buly Les Jardins Français - Patate Douce des Caraïbes et Carotte d'Afghanistan is a unisex scent built on sweet potato, carrot and vetiver, with a sweet, gourmand character. The notes read as a single whole: sweet potato and carrot give a soft, creamy sweetness, while vetiver anchors it with an earthy, woody base. Spicy and powdery touches keep the sweetness from turning too sugary. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It suits anyone, with a warm, edible feel. Memo Paris Red Island and L'Occitane en Provence Karité Corsé share a close profile.

Tubéreuse du Mexique

7.9

Buly · 2014

Floral · Green · Sweet

Buly Tubéreuse du Mexique is a unisex floral that treats tuberose in a creamy, sweet way, with a green and spicy edge. Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this impression is tentative. Being unisex, it suits both women and men. Tuberose leads, with fruits and night-blooming flowers beside it. Vanilla softens the whole into something creamy and sweet, while clove adds a spicy warmth. A green touch keeps the floral heart from feeling heavy. Chloé Tuberosa 1974 and Rogue Jasmin Antique have a close profile.

Les Jardins Français - Betterave d'Irak et Rhubarbe d'Egypte

8.3

Buly · 2023

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Buly Les Jardins Français - Betterave d'Irak et Rhubarbe d'Egypte is a fresh, green unisex scent built around beetroot and wild rhubarb. The scent rests on just four notes: beetroot, wild rhubarb, patchouli and musk. The earthy, faintly sweet beetroot meets the green, fruity tartness of rhubarb; patchouli deepens the earthy side, while musk leaves a soft, powdery base. There is a gourmand edge, but it stays light, and the overall impression is of a vegetable garden: airy and natural. With its mix of fruity and earthy tones, it sits far from the usual floral or woody styles and suits those who want something simple and a little unconventional. It reads equally well on anyone. Jo Malone Scarlet Beetroot and Ajwaa Perfumes Musk Patchouli have a close profile.

Les Jardins Français - Verveine des Andes et Basilic d'Ulu

7.7

Buly · 2023

Fresh · Green · Gourmand

Buly Les Jardins Français - Verveine des Andes et Basilic d'Ulu is a fresh, green unisex scent built around vervain, mint and basil. The overall impression is crisp and leafy: vervain and mint bring a cool lift, while basil adds a green, lightly spicy edge. Cedar gives that freshness a dry, woody footing, and white musk softens everything into something clean and close to the skin. The gourmand accord reads less as sweetness and more as a fresh, edible-herb quality. Provence & Nature Verveine Menthe and Florame L'Eau Aromatique have a close profile.

Makassar

7.7

Buly · 2014

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Buly Makassar is a unisex scent that sets a sweet, spicy character against a woody, smoky background. Amber and resins form its warm, sweet body, while blond tobacco and Cade juniper add a smoky edge. Cardamom brings the spice forward, iris adds a soft, powdery touch, and Virginia cedar keeps the wood side dry. The notes read as one whole rather than in layers, giving a warm, dark-toned oriental feel. Perfumes with a close profile include Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan (Eau de Parfum) and Dunhill Moroccan Amber.

La Baigneuse

7.8

Buly · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Spicy

Buly La Baigneuse is a unisex scent that runs fresh and citrusy, softened by spicy and creamy touches. Lemon grass and lavender give it a bright, fougère-like start. Iris and orange blossom lay a creamy, slightly powdery softness over that coolness. Patchouli and frankincense carry a quiet spicy depth in the background, while musk keeps everything calm on the skin. Taken as a whole it stays clean and fresh rather than sweet. Buly Iris de Malte and Diptyque Citronnelle & Géranium have a close profile.

Sumi Hinoki

7.3

Buly · 2014

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Buly Sumi Hinoki is a fresh, green woody scent with a resinous, lightly smoky side, worn by anyone. It opens with Japanese cypress, which gives the scent a cool, green edge. In the heart, hinoki wood and gaiac wood build a dry, woody body. In the base, juniper berry and frankincense add a spicy, resinous warmth and deepen the smoky tone. The overall impression is a calm, clean woodiness, like a forest around a temple. d'Annam Hinoki Meditation and Le Labo Eucalyptus 20 have a close profile.

Les Jardins Français - Groseille de Scandinavie et Tomate du Pérou

7.6

Buly · 2023

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Buly Les Jardins Français - Groseille de Scandinavie et Tomate du Pérou is a fresh, green unisex scent built around currant and tomato. The notes read as one whole: currant and tomato bring a fruity freshness, while stems and rosemary root it in something green and earthy. Bergamot lifts and brightens the mix, and the sweetness stays in the background, no more than the softness of the fruit itself. The result is less a sugary fruit scent than a cool, lively smell of a garden basket of freshly picked produce. Its profile is close to Lush Pansy and Ermenegildo Zegna Italian Bergamot.

Héliotrope du Pérou

8.5

Buly

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Buly Héliotrope du Pérou is a unisex scent that softens a fresh floral character with a sweet, powdery and creamy warmth. Heliotrope and violet set the floral tone, with white blossoms adding a gentle softness. Vanilla and tonka bean pull the scent towards a gourmand sweetness, while sandalwood and woody notes keep it on a creamy footing. Spices stay in the background and add a little warmth. The overall impression is powdery, sweet and smooth, with nothing heavy or sharp about it. The fresh accord keeps the sweetness from turning cloying. Solinotes Vanille and Prada Infusion d'Amande have a close profile.
