Mexican Cactus

6.3

History · 2022

Green · Fruity · Sweet

History Mexican Cactus is a unisex scent that pairs a green, fruity character with a sweet, creamy base. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, so it's hard to say when it suits best. Its profile reads equally for men and women. It opens with bergamot, milk and tropical fruits, the milk softening the fruity freshness into something creamy. The heart brings cactus, green notes, cannabis and jasmine. The base settles into vetiver, musk, powdery notes and metallic notes, and the accords include a synthetic edge. Zoologist Cow and Agua de Baleares Fig Leaf have a close profile.

Colombian Cacao

7.5

History · 2022

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

History Colombian Cacao is a gourmand unisex scent that opens on cocoa, Colombian coffee and bergamot, then settles into rose jam and vanilla. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin without pushing itself forward. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a tendency. Being unisex, it reads comfortably on both men and women. The opening is led by cocoa and Colombian coffee, with bergamot and citrus fruits lifting them slightly. In the heart, rose jam, jasmine, patchouli and cola add a floral and spicy side. The base of tonka bean, vanilla, musk and powdery notes leaves it sweet and soft. Eisenberg J'Ose and Jeroboam Insulo have a close profile.

Swiss Praline

7.5

History · 2022

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

History Swiss Praline is a sweet, gourmand unisex fragrance that leans oriental, with a touch of spice and powder. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine and can be worn by anyone. It opens with rum, vanilla, praliné and bergamot, a sugary, slightly boozy start. The heart brings oakmoss, cinnamon and tonka bean: the cinnamon adds spice while the tonka keeps the creamy sweetness going. The base settles on vanilla, sandalwood and gourmand notes, leaving a warm, powdery, soft sweetness. Lattafa Zikra and Nimori Alaya have a close profile.

Spanish Carnation

7.4

History · 2022

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

History Spanish Carnation is a unisex scent that pairs sweet corn with carnation, its floral and fruity character resting on a sweet base.

Ére Studios Ére Privé Amoureux and Theodoros Kalotinis Lily have a close profile.
