Rose au Sucre

Place des Lices

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Place des Lices Rose au Sucre pairs rose with jasmine, violet and vanilla for a floral, sweet and powdery scent. Rose and jasmine form the floral base, while violet and talcum soften it into a powdery feel. Vanilla and raspberry push the sweetness towards gourmand, lemon lifts it slightly, and musk keeps the whole thing creamy and close to the skin. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on skin without filling the room. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and leisure and night-out wear lead the occasions. It is sold as unisex, though half the votes read it as feminine. Farmacia SS. Annunziata Chia (Eau de Parfum) and Lattafa Pride Ansaam Gold have a close profile.

Vanille En Fleur

6.8

Place des Lices · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Green

Place des Lices Vanille En Fleur is a unisex scent that lays soft vanilla sweetness over a fresh, green flower garden. The notes read as one whole: bergamot and lime bring a bright freshness, while ylang-ylang, jasmine and mimosa build a floral, powdery body. Rosemary and sage add a green, lightly spicy edge, and vanilla smooths everything into a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Voters rate longevity and sillage as moderate, though the sample is small, so those ratings are tentative. It sits between masculine and feminine. Sinfonia di Note Zucchero di Mandorla and Fragonard Belle d'Amour have a close profile.

Vanîle

7.6

Place des Lices · 2021

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Place des Lices Vanîle is a unisex fragrance that brightens Bourbon vanilla with mandarin orange and lemon and sweetens it with strawberry, giving a fruity, gourmand character. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes makes this only a rough guide. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine. The citrus gives a lively lift at first, then strawberry and vanilla sweetness take over, with woods keeping it from turning too sugary. Spicy, powdery and faintly smoky accords sit in the background. Zara Vanilla and Maison Asrar Vanilla Aura have a close profile.

1900

7.4

Place des Lices

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Place des Lices 1900 is a unisex fragrance that pairs a floral, sweet character with spice and wood. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail rather than a loud one. Voters rate its staying power highly, though the number of votes is small. It suits both men and women. The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence: sandalwood and vetiver form a woody ground, while iris adds a soft, powdery floral touch. Nutmeg and pepper bring the spice, sage a faint herbal edge, and frankincense a resinous warmth. The gourmand accord carries the sweetness through.

Saint Malo

6.0

Place des Lices

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Place des Lices Saint Malo is a unisex fragrance that pairs the bright, fresh citrus of lemon and bergamot with the aquatic feel of marine notes. Its sillage is moderate, and voters see it as both masculine and feminine in equal measure, so it doesn't lean on one gender. It sits somewhere between modern and classic. The scent is dominated by a fresh, citrusy and aquatic side; patchouli and musk add a light sweetness and a synthetic texture, while lavender brings a touch of spice. The notes don't unfold in stages, so it reads as one whole from start to finish. Prada Luna Rossa Ocean and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf for Men have a close profile.

Coco Vanille

7.2

Place des Lices

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Place des Lices Coco Vanille is a fruity, gourmand and distinctly sweet unisex scent; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, neither very strong nor faint. The rating sits slightly above average, though with so few votes it is only a rough impression. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those. It opens with orange and red fruits, bright and juicy. Coconut takes the heart, and cream and vanilla settle the base into a soft, sugary footing. A synthetic accord adds a slightly artificial edge to the sweetness. Jean & Len You're My Coco Vanilla and Zara Bubble Waffle have a close profile.

Seychelles

7.2

Place des Lices

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Place des Lices Seychelles is a unisex scent that opens with mandarin orange, peach and blackcurrant and sweetens into vanilla and caramel.

The base of cedarwood, vanilla, white musk and caramel takes over, leaving a sweet, gourmand, creamy scent with a light spicy touch. Mancera Velvet Vanilla and House of Thêom Peach Temptation have a close profile.
