Winter Crocus

Fūm · 2018

Floral · Green · Spicy

Fūm Winter Crocus is a unisex scent that anchors a floral core with green, woody and smoky tones, giving it an earthy, resinous character. Crocus carries the floral side, while oakmoss and vetiver give it a green, earthy base. Smoke and tobacco add a dry, smoky edge, and cardamom and pimento bring spice. Myrrh and benzoin soften it with a resinous warmth. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and winter, and it leans towards leisure and business wear. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, with a classic streak. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Hindu Gras and FreeShape Akasha have a close profile.

Ariose

7.4

Fūm · 2018

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Fūm Ariose is a floral, sweet gourmand with spicy, slightly animalic and resinous sides, giving it a warm and dense character. The notes read as a single whole: rose and carnation bring the floral side, met by the fruity sweetness of plum and sangria. Honey, almond and tonka bean push the gourmand angle, while coffee and patchouli add an earthy depth. Amber, musk and orris root form a powdery, resinous base. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. It is unisex in character. Few people have rated it, so these figures are a rough guide rather than a firm verdict. Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 and Les Senteurs Gourmandes Amber Oud have a close profile.
