British Grassland

Fragrantarium · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Green

Fragrantarium British Grassland is a green, fresh and earthy unisex scent that recalls meadow grass and boggy ground. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind and winter a distant last. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and works for the office too. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine. It opens with blackberry, grass, rush and sedge for a crisp green start. In the heart, water mint, wild flowers and sweetgale add a floral, slightly spicy touch. It dries down to moss, peat and fern, a woody, earthy base. Euphorium Brooklyn Butterfly and Lush Grass have a close profile.

Mediterranean Pine Forest

7.6

Fragrantarium · 2018

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Fragrantarium Mediterranean Pine Forest is a fresh, green unisex scent built around pine needle, pine resin and juniper, best suited to warm seasons and relaxed days. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither overwhelms nor disappears quickly. Most voters pick summer and spring, then autumn, with winter the least chosen. It is mostly worn for leisure and daily use, and it also works for the office. Masculine and feminine votes are close, which puts it comfortably in between. It opens with sage, thyme and rosemary for a herbal freshness, while rock samphire adds a salty edge. In the heart, juniper, pine needle and cypress lead, with mastic and labdanum giving a resinous, slightly sweet softness. The base of pine cone, pine bark and sea salt dries down woody, earthy and faintly aquatic.

Silver Fir Woods

7.7

Fragrantarium · 2018

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Fragrantarium Silver Fir Woods is a unisex scent built on fir needle, moss and forest soil, close to a forest just after rain. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Votes on whether it reads masculine or feminine are almost evenly split. It opens with a rain accord, leaves, fir needle and damp soil, giving a cool, wet woodland air. In the heart, wild berries, moss and toadstool turn it shadier. The base of forest soil, bark and lichen leaves an earthy, woody floor, and the accords stay fresh, green and resinous throughout. Pineward Fanghorn II and Alkemia Gaea have a close profile.
