Clean Silk

7.1

CARE · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

CARE Clean Silk is a fresh, floral unisex scent that opens on pear and red berries and softens into rose and peach, best suited to spring and summer days. Pear and red berries give it a fruity freshness up front. In the heart, rose and peach add a soft, sweet floral note, while cedarwood in the base grounds the aquatic feel with a woody backdrop. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the most mentioned occasions. Voters lean towards calling it feminine, though it reads as unisex. Panier des Sens Rose and Dior Belle de Jour have a close profile.

Second Skin

5.9

CARE · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

CARE Second Skin is a unisex scent that runs fresh and floral, balancing its fruity sweetness with a soft, powdery feel. It opens with pear, lemon and raspberry: pear and raspberry carry the fruit, while lemon keeps it light. In the heart, peony, iris and peach blossom add a floral, powdery softness. Vanilla and oak wood in the base sweeten it and settle it onto a lightly woody ground. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office, far less for nights out. Marc Jacobs Oh, Lola! and Jeanne Lanvin have a close profile.

Energy Boost

6.7

CARE · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

CARE Energy Boost is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent with fruity and floral touches that keep it light and lively. Turmeric and grapefruit lead the top, pairing spice with a sharp citrus edge. Apple and peony in the heart soften it in a fruity, floral direction. White cedarwood in the base settles it on a clean, woody footing. Longevity and sillage both come across as moderate, though the vote counts are small, so treat that as a rough guide. Voters rate its value for money highly. It suits easy everyday wear for anyone. Lacoste Joy of Pink and Perfume.Sucks Red have a close profile.

Blue Horizon

6.9

CARE · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

CARE Blue Horizon is a unisex scent with a fresh, aquatic character, where fruity and floral touches soften the feel of a sea breeze. It opens with sea breeze, blackcurrant and pineapple, so coolness sits next to a light fruit sweetness. Toward the heart, lavender, heliotrope, cypress and ylang-ylang add a soft floral note. In the base, driftwood, white musk and moss hold it on a clean, calm footing. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters rate its value for money highly, though the number of votes is small. Reading neither masculine nor feminine, it shares a close profile with Chambre52 Orencie and Jil Sander Sun Bath.
