Red Skies

Maher Olfactive · 2022

Citrus · Floral · Aquatic

Maher Olfactive Red Skies is a unisex chypre that pairs oakmoss, jasmine and leather with the freshness of sea breeze and bergamot. Citrus and green tones lead: bergamot, kaffir lime leaf and davana bring the coolness. Ylang-ylang, jasmine and orange blossom soften the floral side, while vetiver, elemi resin and oakmoss lay a woody, slightly spicy base. Sea breeze adds an aquatic air, and leather sits in the background as a dry, leathery edge. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits anyone, man or woman, who wants a fresh scent with some character. Scorpio Inferno and Cerruti 1881 Riviera have a close profile.

Treachery

8.0

Maher Olfactive · 2020

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Maher Olfactive Treachery is a sweet, spicy and gourmand unisex scent led by saffron, cocoa and vanilla absolute. Saffron and spices give it a warm, oriental base, while cocoa and vanilla absolute turn that into a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Almond and berries add a soft fruity edge, and pipe tobacco with whisky brings a darker, smoky, leathery depth. Davana nudges the sweetness toward the floral and powdery side. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and most voters give longevity a high mark, though the number of votes is small, so take this as a rough guide. It suits anyone who wants a dense, sweet scent regardless of gender. Maher Olfactive Treachery Barrel Aged and Parfums de Marly Carlisle have a close profile.

Orris Forrest

7.1

Maher Olfactive · 2020

Green · Sweet · Synthetic

Maher Olfactive Orris Forrest is a green, earthy unisex fragrance built around pinyon pine, oakmoss and orris butter. Pinyon pine and juniper give it a cool, forest-like freshness, while oakmoss and patchouli pull that mood down to the earth. Indian black pepper and coriander add a spicy edge, and orris butter, coumarin and sweet acacia lay a powdery, lightly sweet softness over the green. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. With its woody, resinous and green character, it reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine.

Sun Soaked

8.0

Maher Olfactive · 2021

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Maher Olfactive Sun Soaked is a fresh, citrusy floral with a green, fruity side, light and sunny in feel and worn as a unisex scent. Neroli and bitter orange give it a bright, zesty lift, while chamomile and narcissus soften the floral side and blackcurrant bud adds a green, fruity edge. Amber and Texas cedar form a woody, lightly spicy base with a powdery smoothness running through it. The notes read as one whole: fresh, floral and woody in balance. Two perfumes with a close profile are Creed Neroli Sauvage and Hermès Amazone Light.

Sagan Dalya

8.4

Maher Olfactive · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Green

Maher Olfactive Sagan Dalya is a unisex fragrance that opens fresh and green, then moves into a spicy, smoky and resinous depth. The top notes bring Siberian rhododendron, damascone and tagetes absolute, giving a floral, green and airy start. In the heart, tobacco absolute, immortelle, beeswax and spices take over, and the scent turns creamy, smoky and slightly earthy. The base rests on Spanish labdanum, cypriol and Tonquitone, which add a resinous, woody, oriental foundation. Miller et Bertaux Spiritus / land and Parfums Sven Pritzkoleit Lisbon Blues have a close profile.

Santal Auster (Parfum Extrait)

7.2

Maher Olfactive · 2018

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Maher Olfactive Santal Auster Parfum Extrait is a sweet, spicy woody scent, with resinous, creamy and slightly animalic touches that make it dense and warm, in a masculine style. Its longevity is rated as good, and half of the voters call it strong, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a first impression. It is classed as a masculine fragrance. Sandalwood and oud form the woody core, while patchouli and opoponax add a sweet, resinous depth. Styrax and castoreum bring out the creamy, faintly animalic side. Dior Oud Ispahan and Tom Ford Oud Fleur have a close profile.

Crystal Moon

6.8

Maher Olfactive · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Maher Olfactive Crystal Moon is a unisex fragrance that reads fresh and floral, sitting between sweet and woody. Juniper and lavender frame it with a cool edge, while jonquil and osmanthus absolutes add a soft floral note. Raspberry and dried fruits push the sweetness in a fruity direction, and Peru balsam and amber lend a creamy, resinous warmth. Hinoki cypress gives it a woody backbone, and Yirgacheffe coffee leaves a darker shade in the background. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages; Miguel Matos Agua Exotica and Ajmal Sonnet have a close profile.

Nefertiti (Parfum Extrait)

7.4

Maher Olfactive · 2019

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Maher Olfactive Nefertiti is a unisex perfume that pairs a floral, sweet character with a smoky, woody shadow. Jasmine and honey stay prominent throughout, while orchid leaf adds a green freshness to the sweetness. Frankincense, oud and vetiver give the scent a spicy, woody, smoky depth. Immortelle and cigarette darken the mood without making it harsh, and musk gathers everything onto a soft base. It suits those who like gourmand sweetness alongside smoky woods, and who lean towards floral scents with a darker edge. Penhaligon's The Bewitching Yasmine and Rue Broca Pride My Oud have a close profile.
