Wanted

7.5

Diane Pernet · 2014

Green · Spicy · Woody

Diane Pernet Wanted is a unisex scent with a green, spicy and smoky character, suited mostly to autumn and winter evenings. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the votes are few, so treat those ratings as a rough guide. Most voters pick winter and fall, then spring; summer barely registers. Evening and leisure are the most named occasions, while business and daily wear trail behind. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way. Juniper, nutmeg and clove give it a spicy, green edge, which musk softens into a warm base on skin. The woody and resinous accords add an earthy, smoky tone. It leans dry and serious rather than sweet.

Shaded

7.7

Diane Pernet · 2014

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Diane Pernet Shaded is a unisex scent built around musk, gaiac wood and vetiver, with a green, woody and smoky character. The notes read as one piece: vetiver's green, earthy side meets the smoky firmness of gaiac wood, and musk softens the edges. Spicy and resinous tones stay in the background, and the sweetness never takes over, only rounding things off. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out. Slightly more voters call it masculine, though many find it feminine. Baruti Voyance and Sigilli Athunis have a close profile.

To Be Honest

7.6

Diane Pernet · 2014

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Diane Pernet To Be Honest is a unisex scent led by patchouli, leather and myrrh, with a sweet, spicy and smoky character. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though some also wear it for leisure. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side. A woody, resinous base carries the scent: cedarwood and vetiver add dryness, black pepper brings spice, and amber supplies the sweetness. Patchouli's earthy side and the smoky leather settle into that warm ground. The notes don't unfold in stages; it reads as a single whole.
