Braukmann Classic (Eau de Toilette)

Hildegard Braukmann · 2002

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Toilette

Hildegard Braukmann Braukmann Classic Eau de Toilette is a fresh, green men's fragrance that opens with citrus notes and settles into cedar, pine and vetiver; it has been discontinued. Citrus notes give it a bright start. In the heart, cedar, ylang-ylang and clove take over: the floral side stays soft and the spice sits in the background. The base of pine, ambergris and vetiver dries down woody, while aquatic and green touches keep it fresh throughout. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, then fall, and it is mostly worn for daily use, business and leisure. Most voters call it masculine and classic. Braukmann Sport and Creed Green Irish Tweed have a close profile.

7.2

Hildegard Braukmann · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Hildegard Braukmann Mediterra Lemon Garden is a fresh, citrus-led unisex scent with floral and green touches; it has been discontinued. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and name daily wear, leisure and business as the usual settings. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, and it suits both. It opens with bitter orange and Sicilian lemon. Tuscan cypress and grapefruit follow in the heart, adding a green, lightly woody feel. Ylang-ylang and jasmine leave a soft floral base. Goutal Eau d'Hadrien and Perris Monte Carlo Mandarino di Sicilia have a close profile.

7.1

Hildegard Braukmann

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Hildegard Braukmann Vetiver & Chocolat is a discontinued women's fragrance that pairs a fresh, green character with a sweet, gourmand warmth. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. Voters split almost evenly between calling it feminine and masculine, so it sits somewhere in between. It opens with hazelnut and lily of the valley, then moves into vetiver and chocolate at the heart. Tobacco, sandalwood and tonka bean form the base. The fresh, green side meets earthy vetiver, while chocolate and tonka bean sweeten it and leave a spicy, woody finish.

Eau de Toilette

Hildegard Braukmann Braukmann Sport Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy and green men's scent that suits sport and leisure hours. Voters pick it most for leisure, sport, business and daily wear, while evening and night-out use sit further behind.

Aquatic and synthetic accords give it a crisp, clean air. Hildegard Braukmann Braukmann Classic and Tommy Hilfiger TH Bold have a close profile.

Hildegard Braukmann

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Hildegard Braukmann Herbal Garden is a fresh, citrusy and green scent, made for women and now discontinued, that suits the daytime of warmer seasons. Mandarin orange and lime open with a fruity, bright lift. In the heart, thyme and basil add a herbal, lightly spicy greenness. Amber and precious woods settle underneath and soften the scent with a woody warmth. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office get the most votes. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters split almost evenly between masculine and feminine, so some read it as sitting between the two. Claus Porto No. 5 Lime Basil and Hermès Concentré d'Orange Verte have a close profile.

Braukmann Attitude (2018) (Eau de Toilette)

7.5

Hildegard Braukmann · 2018

Fresh · Sweet · Spicy

Hildegard Braukmann Braukmann Attitude is a fresh and sweet men's fragrance, with spice and woody warmth keeping the sweetness in check. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as moderate, so it neither disappears quickly nor fills a room. The number of votes is small, so treat this as a loose impression. There are not enough votes on season or occasion to point it in any one direction. Bergamot and lavender give it a clean, bright feel, while coriander adds a spicy edge. Sandalwood forms a woody base, and vanilla and ambergris round it into something creamy and sweet. The notes are not split into stages; the scent reads as one blend.

Eau de Toilette

Hildegard Braukmann Braukmann Evolution Eau de Toilette pairs the brightness of basil, bergamot and lemon with a floral heart of geranium and rose; it is a men's fragrance and has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it sits close without disappearing and doesn't fill a room. The vote count is small, which makes these ratings a rough guide rather than a firm verdict. It opens fresh and citrusy with basil, bergamot and lemon. Geranium and rose bring a soft floral middle, and ambergris with woody notes settles the scent into a sweet, spicy, creamy warmth. Acqua di Parma Zafferano and Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Red) have a close profile.

It opens green and citrusy: basil, lime and bergamot give a bright, sharp first impression. In the heart, rose and geranium add a soft floral note while the spicy side stays in the background. The base of woods dries the scent down into a clean, woody finish. The accords lean towards freshness, citrus and green, so it reads as a tidy, masculine scent for everyday wear. Its profile is close to Three Pears Ltd. Gold and Hermès Eau de Basilic Pourpre.

Emosie / Emosie Body

6.9

Hildegard Braukmann · 2002

Fresh · Floral · Green

Hildegard Braukmann Emosie / Emosie Body is a women's fragrance where floral, fresh and green notes open onto bergamot and peach, then settle into vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris; it has been discontinued. Floral, fresh and green notes come first, and in the heart bergamot and peach soften them with a fruity touch. In the base, vanilla adds sweetness, sandalwood lays down a woody floor and ambergris brings a powdery warmth. The overall impression is fresh and floral, with a sweet, slightly synthetic tone behind it. It is meant for women. There is too little feedback to say how long it lasts or how far it carries; Hildegard Braukmann Body Care and Sue Wong Magic have a close profile.
