Musicology · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Musicology 'Cause I'm Happy is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent that suits daytime and office hours. It opens bright and a little green with bergamot, grapefruit and cypress. Orange blossom, ambrette and musk soften the heart, and vetiver, cedarwood and ambergris settle into a woody, faintly smoky base. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and work, and opinion on whether it reads masculine or feminine is almost evenly split. Its profile is close to Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Creed Neroli Sauvage.

Sun Goddess

7.0

Musicology · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Musicology Sun Goddess is a unisex fragrance that sets a fresh, floral character on a sweet, creamy base. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its profile sits comfortably on both women and men. Frangipani and orange blossom open the scent, while jasmine sambac and heliotrope carry the floral heart. In the base, sandalwood and vanilla soften everything into a creamy, sweet finish. Rayhaan Equinox and Jil Sander Softly have a close profile.

Fly me to the Oud

7.1

Musicology · 2020

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Musicology Fly me to the Oud is a spicy, woody unisex scent in which oud, leather and patchouli are softened by brown sugar. Black pepper and Australian sandalwood come first. In the heart, oud, leather and moss weigh heaviest, while brown sugar and patchouli at the base sweeten that edge into a dark, oriental feel. The sweet, spicy and leathery accords sit close together. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are tentative. Its warm, dense character reads neither masculine nor feminine. Goldfield & Banks Island Lush and Parfums de Marly Haltane have a close profile.

Close to Midnight

7.7

Musicology · 2020

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Musicology Close to Midnight is a unisex scent that leans towards evening and night, with a sweet, gourmand character at its centre. Most voters pick evening and nights out, and it also works for leisure time, while office and daytime wear come further behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It reads as suited to both men and women. The top notes are jasmine and coffee; tonka bean and labdanum follow in the heart, and musk and ambergris settle at the base. A floral start turns into a creamy, sweet gourmand body, with spicy, resinous and slightly smoky touches setting that sweetness on a woody, oriental ground. Solange Azagury-Partridge Stoned and Penhaligon's The Bewitching Yasmine have a close profile.

Musicology · 2020

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Musicology I Belong to U is a unisex floral built around tuberose and gardenia, set on a sweet, earthy base of patchouli and Peru balsam.

The base of patchouli and Peru balsam adds an earthy, woody, faintly smoky depth. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. It is made for both women and men who like rich, sweet florals.

White is Wight

Musicology · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Musicology White is Wight is a clean, light unisex scent with a fresh, floral and aquatic character. Its longevity is rated weak, though only a few votes stand behind that. Expect a close-to-the-skin scent that may need refreshing through the day. It sits in the middle of the gender range and suits men and women alike. The top has lotus and cotton, and the heart moves to jasmine and musk. Blond woods and almond milk in the base soften it and keep the sweetness gentle. Green and synthetic accents round out the clean feel. Zara Lightly Bloom and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Lotus have a close profile.
