Magnolia & Pivoine de Soie

7.6

pH Fragrances · 2018

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

pH Fragrances Magnolia & Pivoine de Soie is a powdery, gourmand unisex floral in which rose is sweetened by honey and vanilla. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either men or women. It opens with a bright, fruity floral built from Italian mandarine Orpur®, rose and Italian bergamot. Bulgarian rose Orpur® leads the heart. In the base, Vanilla Orpur®, honey and musk settle it into a soft, sweet bed, while Haitian vetiver Orpur® adds a slight dryness. Serge Lutens Louve and Burberry Brit Red have a close profile.

Vétiver & Santal de Cuir

6.3

pH Fragrances · 2018

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

pH Fragrances Vétiver & Santal de Cuir is a sweet, creamy and woody unisex scent that puts vetiver, tonka bean and jasmine at the front. It opens with milk, which gives it a soft, creamy start. The heart brings together jasmine, tonka bean and Haitian vetiver Orpur®: the floral side is softened by the gourmand sweetness of tonka, while vetiver adds an earthy depth. The base rests on musk, Australian sandalwood orpur® and amber, a warm, woody and slightly smoky foundation. Overall it reads as a creamy woodiness with a sweet, faintly synthetic sheen and a spicy touch. The Dua Brand Creamy Coffee Abode and Morph Disumano have a close profile.

Tubéreuse & Ylang de Pashmina

8.2

pH Fragrances · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

pH Fragrances Tubéreuse & Ylang de Pashmina is a unisex scent that opens fresh and settles into a floral, creamy, resinous heart. It starts with bitter orange, ginger, bergamot and pink pepper, then moves into Madagascan clove leaf, jasmine absolute and tuberose. Frankincense, ylang-ylang and Siam benzoin form the base. A sweet, creamy floral core is kept in check by spice and a faintly smoky resin. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. The dense floral and resin character suits anyone, regardless of gender. Les Eaux Primordiales Rose and Antonio Visconti Foliage have a close profile.

Iris & Musc de Liberty

7.9

pH Fragrances · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Green

pH Fragrances Iris & Musc de Liberty is a fresh, green floral scent built around powdery iris, with a touch of sweetness and an earthy edge, made for anyone regardless of gender. It opens with freesia and juniper Orpur®, light and airy. In the heart, iris Orpur® and violet leaf take over, bringing out the powdery and green sides along with a slightly earthy depth. In the base, tonka bean adds a soft sweetness while musk gives it a clean, warm finish. Created by Yann Vasnier in 2018, it reads as a calm, polished iris rather than a loud one.

Patchouli & Cèdre de Tweed

8.3

pH Fragrances · 2018

Spicy · Woody · Resinous

pH Fragrances Patchouli & Cèdre de Tweed is a unisex scent built around patchouli and Atlas cedar, spicy, woody and earthy in character. It opens with Indonesian patchouli Orpur® and grapefruit, the grapefruit lifting the earthy side of the patchouli. In the heart, Atlas cedar Orpur® and cashmeran form a woody, faintly smoky core. The base returns to Indonesian patchouli with musk, and the resinous accord adds a warm, dry depth. There is nothing sweet or floral here; it stays woody and earthy from start to finish. Heeley Eau Sacrée and Serge Lutens L'orpheline have a close profile.
