Make Love, No War

Mirum · 2015

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Mirum Make Love, No War is a floral, sweet women's fragrance that opens with bergamot, iris and rose and softens into vanilla and Indian sandalwood; it has been discontinued. A fresh, fruity opening gives way to a heart of vanilla, Indian sandalwood and rose. The base of Virginia cedar, amber and patchouli adds a woody, spicy footing, while a powdery side smooths out the sweetness. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick leisure, night out and evening wear, though it also suits daytime and the office. It reads as a feminine scent.

Veteran

7.8

Mirum · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Mirum Veteran is a unisex fresh fougère where citrus and green notes sit over a woody, earthy base; it has been discontinued. Cypress, Mediterranean lemon, bitter orange and Calabrian bergamot give a sharp, bright start. Toward the heart, lavender, geranium and galbanum add a green edge, while pepper and carnation bring a touch of spice. The base of vetiver, cedar, patchouli and sandalwood is dry and woody, softened a little by Bourbon vanilla and amber. Longevity is rated strong, while sillage stays moderate. Votes spread evenly across all four seasons, with spring just ahead. Daily wear, leisure and business settings are favoured equally. Knize Forest and Chanel Platinum Égoïste have a close profile.

Jimi

6.2

Mirum · 2015

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Mirum Jimi is a women's perfume that sets a floral, fruity sweetness over a woody, resinous and earthy base; it has been discontinued. Voters rate its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a hint. There is not enough information on longevity, season or occasion, but it reads as feminine in character. It opens with bergamot, rose and grape, bright and fruity. In the heart, jasmine, leather, cedar, vetiver and sandalwood add a woody, slightly earthy depth. The base of tonka bean, patchouli, amber and oakmoss closes it on a sweet, powdery, resinous finish.

Rubacuori

8.5

Mirum · 2018

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Mirum Rubacuori is a unisex scent that pairs a bright opening of bergamot, lemon and pink pepper with clove, rose and a balsamic sweetness. Bergamot and lemon bring the citrus at the top, pink pepper and saffron the spice, and elemi resin adds a faint resinous edge. At the heart, clove and rose lead while Peru balsam softens them and sweetens the whole. The base of tolu balm, benzoin and amber settles into a powdery, creamy, lightly smoky oriental warmth. Citrus and floral, sweet and spicy sides sit together throughout. Its profile is close to Giorgio Armani Eau de Nuit Oud and Moresque Seta.
