Bass

6.8

Ephemera by Unsound · 2014

Synthetic · Spicy · Woody

Ephemera by Unsound Bass is a smoky, leathery and resinous unisex scent with a hard, woody and animalic character. Wood smoke and rum come first. Mastic, leather and tea sit in the middle, and frankincense, moss, cedarwood and castoreum dry down at the base. The synthetic, spicy and animalic accords weigh heavily, so it reads dry and dark rather than soft or sweet. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin while still making itself known to people nearby. It suits anyone who likes leather and smoke, regardless of gender. Rammstein Benzin and Tom Ford Black Lacquer have a close profile.

Noise

6.5

Ephemera by Unsound · 2014

Citrus · Floral · Synthetic

Ephemera by Unsound Noise is a unisex scent with a synthetic edge that opens on black pepper, aldehydes and ozone and settles into leather and labdanum. The opening pairs sharp black pepper with aldehydes and ozone, giving a bright, cold first impression. In the heart, saffron, orchid and magnolia add a floral layer while the spice carries on. The base of labdanum, leather, amber and cedarwood grounds it in a resinous, woody, smoky drydown, with the earthy, leathery side gradually taking over. Montale Dark Aoud and Vilhelm Parfumerie Smoke Show have a close profile.

Drone

6.5

Ephemera by Unsound · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Ephemera by Unsound Drone is a fresh, green unisex scent that opens on lime, an air accord and aldehydes. The top pairs lime with aldehydes for a sharp, bright start, while the air accord adds an open, aquatic feel. In the heart, juniper berry, hedione and fir lean the scent floral, green and slightly resinous. The base settles on vetiver, patchouli, ambergris and cedar, leaving a woody, spicy finish. The overall impression is clean and cool with a synthetic edge. Hildegard Braukmann Braukmann Sport and Pierre Cardin Bleu Marine pour Lui have a close profile.
