Conquistador

8.2

Franck Muller · 2017

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Franck Muller Conquistador is a sweet, spicy and powdery men's fragrance that suits fall and winter evenings. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, then spring. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet works for business and leisure too. Most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. It opens with lavender, cognac and juniper berry, then frankincense, cistus, violet and iris build a floral, resinous heart. In the base, benzoin, patchouli, amber, musk, vanilla and leather give it a creamy, smoky, leathery warmth.

Aeternitas

7.8

Franck Muller · 2017

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Franck Muller Aeternitas is a unisex floral-oriental that carries saffron, rose and cinnamon into a sweet, spicy base of vanilla, oud and amber. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer the least chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters split closely between masculine and feminine, so it sits comfortably on either. Its profile is close to Omanluxury Paramour and Moresque Scirocco. It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and cherry, a bright fruity start. In the heart, saffron, rose, jasmine and orange blossom build a floral base while clove and cinnamon bring the spice forward. In the base, tonka bean, vanilla and amber soften the sweetness, and oud, leather, cedarwood and patchouli add a woody, leathery, powdery depth.

Color Dreams

8.0

Franck Muller · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Franck Muller Color Dreams is a fresh, aquatic and floral unisex scent in which citrus and green tea come first. It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin orange and lemon in a bright citrus layer, with blackcurrant and coriander adding a slightly fruity and spicy edge. In the heart, green tea, water lily and ozonic notes keep things airy, while cinnamon and pimento leave a warm spice touch. It dries down onto vetiver, cedarwood and amber, a woody and lightly sweet base. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. The fresh character suits everyday wear, and it reads equally well on men and women. Creed Asian Green Tea and Clarins Eau des Jardins have a close profile.

Double Mystery

8.2

Franck Muller · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Green

Franck Muller Double Mystery is a unisex scent that sets a fresh bergamot opening against heart notes of tuberose, jasmine sambac and neroli, with cinnamon and nutmeg adding spice. After the bergamot, florals lead the heart: tuberose, jasmine sambac, rose and iris. Cinnamon and nutmeg bring spice, while geranium and lily of the valley add a green freshness. The base of myrrh, frankincense, sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla and musk settles into a warm, woody, resinous finish. Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the small number of votes means that reading is tentative. It is unisex, neither distinctly masculine nor feminine, and suits anyone who wants a full, floral-spicy scent that makes itself noticed.

Crazy Hours

6.9

Franck Muller · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Franck Muller Crazy Hours is a unisex scent that pairs the fresh citrus of bergamot, mandarin orange and grapefruit with iris, violet and rose, settling on vetiver and patchouli. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few votes back this up, so the picture is tentative. No season or occasion votes exist, so it can't be tied to one time of year. It suits both men and women. It opens with basil, rosemary and sage lending an herbal edge to the citrus. In the heart, iris, violet, lavender and rose add a soft floral note, while pepper and cardamom stay in the background. The base of vetiver, patchouli, musk, vanilla and amber sweetens it and ends warm and resinous.
