Balsamir

7.6

Perris Monte Carlo · 2025

Citrus · Sweet · Spicy

Perris Monte Carlo Balsamir is a unisex scent built on myrrh, labdanum and balsams, with a citrus brightness softening its resinous, spicy core. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. Leisure and evening wear lead, while night out and business also get votes. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though these ratings rest on few votes. The top opens with Somalian myrrh, pink pepper and mandarin orange, so citrus and spice sit side by side at first. In the heart, opoponax and labdanum bring a resinous warmth. The base sweetens with tonka bean, gains a woody frame from Virginia cedar wood, and turns creamy and soft with fir balsam and tolu balm.

Encens Sacré

6.6

Perris Monte Carlo · 2024

Green · Synthetic · Spicy

Perris Monte Carlo Encens Sacré is a unisex scent with a dark, smoky and resinous character, backed by earthy and woody tones. Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though few people have voted on this. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and wear it for evenings, nights out or leisure time. Summer and office wear are rarely chosen. It opens with Fumencens, then moves into jasmine, Moroccan rose absolute and Somalian frankincense. Sandalwood, amber and patchouli form the base. Green, spicy and earthy facets weave through the smoky resin. Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.

Tiaré de Tahiti

5.6

Perris Monte Carlo · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Perris Monte Carlo Tiaré de Tahiti is a unisex fragrance that pairs coconut, bergamot and tiaré in a fresh, floral, lightly sweet blend. It opens with coconut, davana and bergamot, bright and citrusy. In the heart, marine notes, ylang-ylang and tiaré bring a floral, aquatic feel, softened by green and creamy shades. The base of cedarwood, musk and amber settles the scent into a calm, mildly sweet finish. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. The fresh character sits comfortably on men and women alike. Mancera Holidays and Maison Margiela Beach Walk share a close profile.
