Mystique

Le Parfumeur · 2015

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Le Parfumeur Mystique is a floral, sweet oriental for women, with resin, spice and a light smokiness running through it. Bergamot and mandarin orange open it with some freshness. The heart brings orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose and rose, while frankincense and cardamom pull the florals towards spice and resin. It dries down on myrrh, tonka bean and labdanum, where the powdery, creamy and gourmand sides take over. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evening and night out, though daily wear gets votes too. It reads feminine.

Romantique

7.8

Le Parfumeur · 2012

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Le Parfumeur Romantique is a sweet, floral women's scent that sets strawberry, lemon and grapefruit against rose and freesia, then settles into vanilla and sandalwood. Most voters recommend it for fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and also gets votes for evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, and voters mostly read it as feminine. It opens fruity and bright, with strawberry and citrus up front. The heart turns soft and floral through freesia and rose. In the base, patchouli, cinnamon, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it into a warm, spicy, powdery, gourmand finish. Annayake Tsukimi and Nabeel Al Ghadeer have a close profile.

Sensuelle

7.0

Le Parfumeur

Floral · Spicy · Woody

Le Parfumeur Sensuelle is a floral, spicy scent for women, set on a woody, resinous and faintly smoky base. It opens with a fresh bergamot, then moves into a heart of monarda, rose and myrrh. The rose's floral side is softened by myrrh's resinous, smoky character. In the base, sandalwood and white musk add a powdery, animalic, oriental warmth. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings rest on a small number of votes. The dense, warm profile suits evening wear best. Amouage Gold Woman and Arte Profumi Harem Soirée have a similar profile.

Noir (Eau de Parfum)

Le Parfumeur · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Eau de Parfum

Le Parfumeur Noir Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral women's scent that settles into a sweet, powdery and woody base. Its longevity is rated good, though few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daytime wear, with evenings close behind. Office and night-out use trail further back. White pepper and citrus fruits open it, and the heart of rose, plum and ylang-ylang adds a soft floral, fruity body. Vanilla, moss and sandalwood sweeten the base and give it a woody footing. Fresh, spicy and chypre touches keep the sweetness in check.

Extravagante

7.2

Le Parfumeur · 2012

Floral · Green · Spicy

Le Parfumeur Extravagante is a floral, green chypre for women, pairing rich white flowers with the cool, earthy side of moss and wood. It opens with geranium and vervain, green and lightly spicy. The heart brings tuberose, rose and jasmine, full-bodied but held in check by the green tones. In the base, vetiver, patchouli and moss settle the scent into something earthy, woody and slightly resinous. Longevity and projection are rated good, though only a small number of votes stand behind that. Most voters suggest fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet suits daytime too. Its profile is close to Clinique Aromatics Elixir and Pygmalión Alfa.
