David Yurman

David Yurman · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

David Yurman by David Yurman is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that sets rose, peony and patchouli against the brightness of mandarin orange and currant blossom. The notes read as a single whole rather than in layers. Mandarin orange and water lily give it a clean, citrusy lift, while rose and peony form the floral centre. Currant leaf adds a green edge, and woods and patchouli provide a dry, earthy base. Musk softens the sweet, powdery side. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative picture. The scent sits in a fresh floral register and is classed as feminine. Ajmal Raindrops and Gucci Flora by Gucci 1966 have a close profile.

David Yurman Limited Edition

David Yurman · 2011

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

David Yurman Limited Edition is a unisex fragrance that sets rose, jasmine and violet beside suede and oud, with a sweet, spicy character. It opens with raspberry, saffron, coriander and geranium, a fruity and spiced start. In the heart, night-blooming jasmine, Taif rose, violet and oud lead, and the floral side takes on a smoky, resinous depth. The base of suede, vanilla, sandalwood and musk softens and sweetens everything, settling into a leathery, powdery dry-down. Lattafa Just Oud and Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal have a close profile.

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

David Yurman Delicate Essence is a fresh, floral unisex scent where citrus meets a light touch of spice. The top opens with lotus, pink pepper and African orange blossom, bright and slightly peppery. In the heart, rose absolute, pink peony and wild rose bring a soft, fruity floral character. It settles into blond woods, amber and musk, leaving a creamy, skin-like finish. A synthetic edge also runs through the accords. Banana Republic Peony & Peppercorn and Huygens Les Roses have a close profile.
