Vanilla & The Sea

Phoenix Botanicals

Floral · Aquatic · Fruity

Phoenix Botanicals Vanilla & The Sea is a unisex scent that pairs a floral, aquatic character with the soft, creamy sweetness of vanilla. White rose, tuberose and neroli build a floral base, while mandarin orange adds a fruity lift. Kelp and ambergris carry the aquatic side, and vanilla, amber and musk bring a sweet, creamy warmth. Moss and lavender absolute give the blend a spicy, slightly earthy edge. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin as a quiet scent. These ratings rest on only a few votes. Unisex in character, it has a profile close to Le Parfum Citoyen La Working Girl 2.0 and Onskad 80'.

Lavender Noir (Perfume)

7.8

Phoenix Botanicals · 2013

Floral · Green · Sweet

Phoenix Botanicals Lavender Noir is a unisex fougère that sets lavender against earth, smoke and green. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. It reads as unisex and suits men and women alike. As a whole it has a clean fougère feel, with lavender and bergamot up front. Oakmoss and mushrooms add an earthy, green depth, while smoke and tonka bean soften the dry edge into something sweet, resinous and creamy. Wild flowers keep the floral side in the background.

Lotus Pollinator

6.8

Phoenix Botanicals · 2017

Floral · Green · Sweet

Phoenix Botanicals Lotus Pollinator is a floral, sweet unisex scent built around pink lotus, honey and pollen. The notes read as a single piece: pink lotus, rose and carnation set a floral base, while green tea and bergamot add a green freshness. Honey, beeswax and vanilla pull it towards a soft, gourmand side, and amber and myrrh bring a resinous warmth. Spicy and faintly animal touches keep it from turning too sugary. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. The number of votes is small, so this is a tentative picture. It is not tied to either gender and can be worn by men and women alike. Twentysecondofmay Bee's Home and Zoologist Bee have a close profile.

Ka Pueo (Perfume)

6.9

Phoenix Botanicals

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Phoenix Botanicals Ka Pueo is a unisex perfume that sets a floral, sweet core against spicy, woody and smoky tones. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it sits close to the skin and stays quiet. Few people have voted, so that impression is not firm. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine and can be worn by anyone. The scent is best taken as a whole: jasmine and white gingerlily lay down a floral base, while vanilla and tonka bean make it creamy and sweet. Pinyon pine, Palo Santo, frankincense and oud add a smoky, woody shade, and lavender and vetiver dry the warmth out a little. A faint animal note also shows in the accords.

Meadow & Fir

7.5

Phoenix Botanicals · 2013

Floral · Green · Sweet

Phoenix Botanicals Meadow & Fir is a floral, green scent for women that sets a meadow of flowers against the resinous, woody air of fir. Wild flowers, violet and linden tree give it a floral, green, meadow-like feel. Fir and resins add woody depth, myrrh brings a spicy edge, and amber sweetens the whole. Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate, so it neither fades quickly on skin nor fills a room, though with so few votes this is only a rough impression. It dates from 2013 and was composed by Irina Adam. Close in profile are The Bible Fragrance Myrrh and Al Haramain Nasmah.
