Salt & Pepper

Precious Liquid · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Precious Liquid Salt & Pepper is a fresh, spicy fragrance for men that most voters place in spring and summer, and that suits everyday wear. Aquatic notes and bergamot set a bright base, over which black pepper, pink pepper and Nepalese sichuan pepper take the lead. Coriander and caraway push the spice towards a dry, slightly earthy side, while violet leaf adds a green touch. Patchouli and frankincense bring a woody, faintly smoky depth, and carrot seed reinforces the earthy edge. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Daily wear, leisure and sport are the most named settings, with business and evening also getting votes. Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò Profumo and Lalique Encre Noire Sport have a close profile.

Tobacco Royal

8.0

Precious Liquid · 2022

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Precious Liquid Tobacco Royal is a sweet, woody and smoky men's fragrance led by tobacco absolute and spices, softened by vanilla and tonka bean. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though few people have voted on them, so take that with some caution. It is classed as a men's perfume. As a whole it reads as a sweet tobacco scent: tobacco absolute and spices form the core, while cistus and broom absolute add an earthy, faintly smoky depth. Tonka bean, vanilla and apricot round off the harder edges into an oriental sweetness. Byredo Mumbai Noise and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Ambre Tibet have a close profile.

Oud Symphony

7.2

Precious Liquid · 2011

Fresh · Aquatic · Fruity

Precious Liquid Oud Symphony is a fragrance for women that sets a fresh, aquatic surface over a sweet, spicy and woody oriental core. Its longevity is rated good while its sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters rate the longevity high, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide. The notes read together rather than in stages: honey absolute, praliné and tonka bean bring the sweetness, while rose absolute, jasmine sambac and osmanthus add a floral softness. Oud, patchouli and frankincense form a woody, spicy base, blackcurrant and passion fruit add a fruity brightness, and rum lends a warm edge. The creamy, oriental side leads.

Acqua Oud

7.8

Precious Liquid · 2023

Fresh · Aquatic · Fruity

Precious Liquid Acqua Oud is a fresh, aquatic scent set on a woody, oriental frame, classed as a men's fragrance. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages. Bergamot, lime, pineapple and melon bring a fruity brightness, while marine notes and red seagrass push the watery side forward. Oud, patchouli absolute and vetiver add a woody, slightly oriental weight underneath that freshness. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It leans masculine. Lattafa Blue Oud and Rasasi Hope for Men have a close profile.

Sangria Oak

9.1

Precious Liquid · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Precious Liquid Sangria Oak is a men's fragrance where saffron, sangria and oak lead, setting fresh citrus and spice on a woody base. Pink grapefruit and pear give it a fresh, fruity start, saffron and cardamom add spice, and sangria with rum brings a sweet, slightly boozy tone. Patchouli, labdanum, oak and moss build an earthy, resinous chypre base, while davana adds a soft, floral and creamy touch. Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, and all voters find the longevity high, though the number of votes is small. It is presented as a masculine fragrance. Histoires de Parfums 1875 and Yardley 1770 have a close profile.

Amber Suede

7.4

Precious Liquid · 2022

Fresh · Spicy · Woody

Precious Liquid Amber Suede is a woody men's fragrance that is fresh at first glance but draws its real character from spice, resin and leather. Saffron and pink pepper give it a spicy warmth, while suede adds a soft leathery texture. Bourbon vetiver and patchouli bring an earthy, faintly smoky streak; frankincense adds resin and oud a darker woody depth. Musk and ambrox soften these harder lines, and the fresh accord keeps the scent open rather than heavy. Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle Monsieur. and Heeley Cardinal have a close profile.

7.0

Precious Liquid · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Precious Liquid Turquoise Water is a fresh, aquatic women's fragrance built around lemon zest, coconut water and pear.

Blue Agave (2017)

6.9

Precious Liquid · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Precious Liquid Blue Agave is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, citrusy and aquatic character, rounded out by green and woody tones. The notes sit together rather than unfolding in stages: lime and salt give it a bright, seaside feel. Laurel and sage add a green, lightly spicy thread, while blue agave and driftwood gather that freshness onto a woody base. The overall impression is dry, clean and outdoorsy rather than warm or sweet. Perfumes with a close profile include Precious Liquid Blue Agave (2023) and Tom Ford Costa Azzurra (Eau de Parfum).
