Sea Censored / Sea Angel

O'Driù · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

O'Driù Sea Censored / Sea Angel is an aquatic, floral unisex scent that most voters place in spring and fall, for leisure and evenings; it has been discontinued. Tangerine, green apple, grass and algae bring freshness and a green edge, while tuberose and rose make up the floral side. Ginger, cumin and coriander add spice, and vanilla adds sweetness. Pine, cypriol, oud, musk and fur give it a woody, resinous, animal backdrop. A synthetic note sits in the mix as well. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Voters read it as masculine and feminine in almost equal measure, with classic and modern votes behind those. Summer and winter get fewer votes. Perfumes with a close profile include Jeanne Arthes Pure Romantic and Bogue Douleur!2.

Pathétique

O'Driù · 2014

Floral · Green · Sweet

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Some find it feminine, others masculine, so it sits somewhere in between. Jasmine and rose sit alongside cocoa and coffee.

Eva Kant

7.9

O'Driù · 2013

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

O'Driù Eva Kant is a unisex fragrance that starts with citrus and settles into something sweet, powdery and resinous, easy to wear in the evening or on a relaxed day. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters lean slightly towards spring and fall, though all four seasons get a share, and they link it mostly to evenings and leisure, with daily and office wear close behind. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. It has been discontinued. Grapefruit and ginger give it a fresh, spicy lift, and cardamom carries that on. Ylang-ylang, magnolia and Roman chamomile add a soft floral side, while vanilla and benzoin build a sweet, creamy base. Sandalwood and myrrh bring woody, resinous depth, with lavender staying in the background.

Peety

8.2

O'Driù · 2013

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

O'Driù Peety is a sweet, spicy floral-woody scent with animal and smoky shades, a heavy, evening-minded character classed as a men's fragrance. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading and leisure close behind. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it reads open to both. It has been discontinued. Amber, sandalwood and tonka bean build a sweet, warm base. Jasmine and rose bring the floral side, while pink pepper adds spice. Resinous, animal and smoky accords temper the sweetness and deepen the oriental feel.

Gothic Censored / Gothic Angel

7.3

O'Driù · 2016

Floral · Green · Fruity

O'Driù Gothic Censored / Gothic Angel is a unisex scent that sets a floral, resinous character against a smoky, woody base; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the sample is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The scent doesn't lean to either side and reads as unisex. The floral side comes from jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang and mimosa, softened by violet and lavender, while grapefruit and blackcurrant add a light fruity touch. Incense, frankincense, sandalwood and tobacco build the smoky, resinous part; amber, vanilla and musk sweeten it, and artemisia leaves a green edge.

Satyricon

6.9

O'Driù · 2015

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

O'Driù Satyricon is a unisex scent that sets the sweetness of plum, cocoa and vanilla against the smoky, resinous air of myrrh and birch; it has been discontinued. A fruity, gourmand sweetness leads: plum, cocoa and vanilla form a soft base. Cumin and carnation add a spicy edge, while cedar, birch and myrrh bring a woody, earthy, smoky depth. An animal note roughens the sweetness. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and leisure wear are the most common choices. It reads heavy and cold-weather, equally at home on men or women.

VenDetTa - Ven

6.7

O'Driù · 2015

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

O'Driù VenDetTa - Ven is a discontinued unisex fragrance with a sweet, floral and spicy character.

Rum and vanilla deepen that sweetness, while tonka bean adds a soft warmth. Cumin draws a spicy edge and sandalwood provides a woody base. Castoreum brings an animal, resinous darkness, with a smoky tone sitting behind it. The result is a rich, heavy blend in an oriental style.
