Maharloo

Olfattology · 2023

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Olfattology Maharloo is a fruity, sweet unisex scent that suits autumn and winter evenings; it has been discontinued. It opens with cinnamon and cherry, and its heart holds liquorice, cherry blossom and plum. In the base, benzoin and tonka bean pull it towards a powdery, gourmand warmth. Fruity and sweet accords dominate, with spicy and oriental tones in the background and a faintly synthetic edge. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall; it leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure. Most voters read it as feminine, though its modern feel keeps it unisex. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Elixir Absolu and Khadlaj Mocha Latte have a close profile.

Lofoten

6.1

Olfattology · 2022

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Olfattology Lofoten is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, aquatic and floral character, where salty notes are softened by a powdery, creamy base. Lofoten's longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the small number of ratings means this should be taken loosely. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said there; it is unisex and can sit on either men or women. It opens with white thyme, salty notes and myrtle, a bright and slightly spicy start. The heart adds lily of the valley, vanilla, ylang-ylang and rose for a soft floral layer. The base brings musk, algae absolute, sandalwood and iris, while cedarwood and tonka bean leave the dry-down powdery and creamy. Lanvin Oxygène and Santa Maria Novella Muschio Oro have a close profile.

Pizzuta

7.3

Olfattology · 2025

Fresh · Sweet · Gourmand

Olfattology Pizzuta is a unisex scent that opens fresh and settles into a sweet, creamy, gourmand character. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few voters have rated them, so treat those ratings with caution. It wears comfortably on anyone, and there are not enough votes to point to a season or occasion. Pink pepper, lemon leaf, myrtle and bergamot open with a cool, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, almond blossom, milk, cotton flower, dragée and salted pistachio build a creamy, powdery sweetness. Tonka bean, patchouli, vanilla and cotton candy then set that sweetness on a soft, warm base.

Evros

7.3

Olfattology · 2021

Floral · Green · Fruity

Olfattology Evros is a unisex scent that pairs a floral, green character with a resinous, smoky depth. The top opens with raspberry, bitter orange and neroli, giving a fruity, fresh start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, cypriol and two roses bring the floral side forward. The base of oud, vanilla, patchouli and frankincense settles into a sweet, woody, earthy foundation. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though few people have voted so far. It suits men and women alike. Its profile is close to Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady and Chanel Coromandel.

Zambesi

7.7

Olfattology · 2021

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Olfattology Zambesi is a sweet, spicy floral with woody and animalic shadings, giving it a warm, dense character that works on anyone. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. Magnolia, mandarin orange and bergamot open it with a bright lift. In the heart, jasmine absolute, cinnamon, tonka bean and vanilla sweeten the scent and add a creamy, spiced warmth. Sandalwood, patchouli, musk and ambergris take over in the base, leaving a woody, earthy, slightly smoky trail. Créations Hubert Maes Histoire Charnelle and Jeroboam Ambra have a close profile.
