Most voters pick autumn and spring, then winter, with summer chosen least. Leisure and evening wear lead, with a night out close behind. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it sits evenly between the two. A fresh, green and floral frame carries a fruity, sweet tone. Black rose and iris hold the floral side, while liquorice and aniseed add a sweet, spicy line. Patchouli and amber bring an earthy, animal depth, and blood and clover give it an unusual edge. The overall impression moves between synthetic, green and sweet.

Church frankincense, labdanum and styrax pull the sweetness toward a resinous, smoky base, and Tonkin musk softens the whole. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a verdict.

Lily of the Valley

6.8

Parfums Quartana · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Green

Parfums Quartana Lily of the Valley is a feminine fragrance that gathers lily of the valley, jasmine and neroli into a fresh, green and lightly creamy bouquet. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Few people have voted, so this impression is not definitive. The floral side leads with lily of the valley, jasmine, neroli and orange blossom absolute, while bergamot and blackcurrant bud add a green freshness. Vanilla absolute and sandalwood sweeten and soften it, and leather, labdanum and bourbon vetiver leave a woody, leathery depth in the background. Giorgio Armani Armani Privé Jasmin Kusamono and Chloé Chêne have a close profile.
