Santorini

D'Qar · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

D'Qar Santorini is a fresh, citrus-led unisex scent built on orange, bergamot and grapefruit, best suited to summer and spring days. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close and never feels heavy. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and sport. More voters read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine or simply modern. It opens with three citrus notes shining together; ginger and mandarin orange in the heart sweeten it slightly and add a soft, fruity touch. In the base, ambergris and neroli gather the aquatic, fresh character into a dry warmth. Maison Alhambra Azure and Scentiments Green Mandarin have a close profile.

Mythos

7.5

D'Qar · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

D'Qar Mythos is a unisex fragrance that opens fresh and floral, then turns sweet and spicy with honey, cinnamon and vanilla, with a clear gourmand streak. The top notes of lavender, lemon and bergamot give it a bright, clean start. In the heart, jasmine sambac, cinnamon, honey and cashmere bring the floral side together with spice and sweetness. The base of tonka bean, vanilla, cedarwood and tobacco settles it into a warm, woody, sweet finish. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, then winter, and summer far less. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and works at the office too. Xerjoff Naxos and Monkoku Honeymoon have a close profile.

Coconut Island

7.1

D'Qar · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

D'Qar Coconut Island is a fresh, citrusy unisex fragrance that pairs fruity sweetness with the creamy softness of coconut milk. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without vanishing. Voters lean towards leisure and daily wear, with evening and night-out use further behind. Masculine and feminine votes sit almost level, so it reads as genuinely in between. It opens with coconut milk, mandarin orange, bergamot and lime for a bright, juicy start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, hibiscus and ginger add a floral, lightly spiced touch. The base turns sweeter with white rum, pineapple, tonka bean and cane sugar, while musk and mint keep it soft and fresh.

Capri

8.1

D'Qar · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

D'Qar Capri is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent built around lemon, orange and Italian bergamot. Longevity is moderate and sillage good, though the small number of ratings means these readings are tentative. With no season or occasion votes, it is hard to say more about when it suits, but the fresh, citrusy build sits comfortably on men and women alike. It opens with lemon, orange and bergamot in a bright, fruity citrus layer. Neroli and ginger in the heart soften that freshness and add a light spice. Frankincense and cedarwood settle the base into a calm, woody finish, while green and aquatic touches stay in the background throughout. Acqua di Parma Mandarino di Sicilia and Sorvella Neroli & Citron have a close profile.

Marrakesh

6.7

D'Qar · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

D'Qar Marrakesh is a unisex scent that darkens a floral, sweet core with spice, leather and woods, with a clear oriental and animalic side. It opens with lavender and rose; toward the heart, leather, thyme, cardamom, ginger and vetiver come forward, giving it a spicy, dry feel. The base holds chocolate, white musk, ambergris, patchouli and oud: the chocolate adds sweetness, while oud and patchouli deepen the woody, darker side. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so the picture is tentative. It can sit on men and women alike, and suits those who like a dense, leathery, heavily spiced profile. Electimuss Aurora and Montale Arabians have a close profile.

New York

7.2

D'Qar · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Green

D'Qar New York is a unisex fragrance that sets a fresh, citrusy opening over a woody, spicy base. Bergamot and orange give a bright, slightly green start before moving into a heart of coriander and oud. In the base, musk, leather, patchouli and sandalwood pull it into a woody, spicy line, with a faintly synthetic texture among the accords. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted so far, so those ratings are tentative. It suits men and women alike. Zara Fresh Sandalwood and Byblos Fusion have a close profile.

Winter in Paris

7.5

D'Qar · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

D'Qar Winter in Paris is a sweet, powdery floral built around cherry blossom, heliotrope and cocoa, made for women. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and some voters rate the longevity high, though the small number of votes makes these ratings tentative. It reads as feminine. It opens with a light, floral cherry blossom. In the heart, heliotrope, iris and cocoa pull it towards a sweet, powdery, slightly spicy character. Musk in the base softens everything and leaves a clean trail.
