Desigual · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Desigual Dark Fresh is a fresh men's fragrance that pairs the bright citrus of grapefruit, neroli and mandarin orange with mint and bergamot. The top is grapefruit, neroli, mandarin orange, mint and bergamot. In the heart, marine and aquatic notes, sage and coriander keep it cool, while tuberose and fruity notes soften it. The base of musk, tonka bean, cedar and amber sweetens it slightly and settles it on a woody footing. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for office and sport. It reads masculine and modern. Mäurer & Wirtz Culture by Tabac: Blue and Dunhill Desire Blue have a close profile.

Fresh

6.6

Desigual · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Desigual Fresh is a fresh, citrusy and watery women's fragrance, kept light by green and floral touches. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and it is picked for daily wear, leisure and the office. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters mostly read it as feminine, though a good number also call it modern. Aquatic notes, spearmint, yuzu and lemon give a bright opening, with fruits softening the sharpness a little. In the heart, green apple, gardenia and lotus add a juicy floral touch. The base of cedar, amber, musk and sandalwood settles it into a warm, woody finish.

Fun

5.1

Desigual · 2014

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Desigual Fun is a light, fresh, fruity and sweet fragrance made for women. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, though with few votes that reading is tentative. There is no voted data on seasons or occasions. It opens with cranberry, nashi pear and white peach for a crisp fruit freshness. In the heart, passion fruit, peony and violet soften the fruit with a floral sweetness. Teakwood and sandalwood leave a light woody base, and the accords also carry a synthetic side. Escada Marine Groove and La Rive Happy Vibes have a close profile.

Sex

5.0

Desigual · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Green

Desigual Sex is a fresh, floral and green women's fragrance built around rhubarb, red fruits and jasmine sambac. Longevity and sillage are both rated weak, so it sits close to the skin rather than leaving a strong trail. The vote count is small, so this impression is tentative. It opens with rhubarb, soy bean and red fruits, a fresh, green and fruity start. The heart turns floral with jasmine sambac, grapefruit blossom and Indian tuberose. In the base, musk, vanilla and precious woods sweeten it and give a powdery, lightly oriental warmth.

Love

3.9

Desigual · 2014

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Desigual Love is a floral-fruity women's fragrance that links a blackcurrant and cranberry opening to a sweet base of praliné and tonka bean. The top is blackcurrant and cranberry, and the heart brings grapefruit, orange blossom and benzoin. In the base, praliné, tonka bean and sandalwood soften and sweeten the whole. The overall impression is floral, fruity and clearly sweet, with a synthetic accord running through it. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. The number of votes is small, so this reading is not firm. It reads distinctly feminine. Louis Cardin Jewel and Cacharel Amor Amor Absolu have a close profile.

You

6.7

Desigual · 2015

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Desigual You is a floral, sweet women's fragrance, softened by gourmand and powdery touches. Longevity and sillage both read as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a first impression. It leans feminine, and its sweet, woody-floral build suits daytime as easily as an evening out. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit and mandarin orange, while violet and rhubarb add a faint floral edge to that fresh start. In the heart, benzoin, tonka bean and orange blossom bring out the sweetness, with cedarwood and musk settling it onto a woody base. At the bottom, praliné, coffee and cardamom deepen the gourmand side, and Grasse jasmine keeps the floral thread running.
