Bois des Indes

Levent

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Levent Bois des Indes is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance built around oud and wood, best suited to fall and winter evenings; it has been discontinued. Indian, Cambodian and Malayan oud sit together at its core, while vetiver and woody notes pull it toward the earthy side. Balsamic and musky notes soften the structure, and fruity and citrus notes add a light lift to the sweetness. The accords also include floral, resinous, creamy and leathery touches. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with summer barely in the picture, and night out and evening are the favoured occasions. It reads most often as masculine, though a fair number of voters find it feminine. Levent Le Nomade and Ajmal Khofooq have a close profile.

Le Nomade

8.4

Levent

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Levent Le Nomade is a sweet, woody unisex fragrance built around sandalwood, leather and oud; it has been discontinued. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one piece from start to finish. Sandalwood, leather and tobacco form a woody, leathery backbone, while Indian, Cambodian and Malayan oud with balsamic notes add a resinous depth. Musk settles it all onto a soft, creamy ground. The sweet and spicy accords lead, giving it an oriental warmth. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a few people have voted. It suits both men and women, a dense, warm scent. Swiss Arabian Nawaf and Thameen Regent Leather have a close profile.

La Bohème

8.0

Levent

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Levent La Bohème is a sweet, woody unisex fragrance built around amber, Indian oud and rose. The notes read as one whole: amber and tonka bean give it a sweet, creamy warmth, while Indian, Cambodian and Malayan oud add a woody, animalic depth. Rose and floral notes soften that weight, and musk leaves a powdery base underneath. Fresh and spicy touches also run through the accords. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It suits both men and women and has a distinctly oriental character. Kai Porten Parfums Privés Oud 31 and Hind Al Oud Musk al Molok have a close profile.
