Taiga

Pryn Parfum · 2016

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Pryn Parfum Taiga is a fresh, green and smoky unisex scent that recalls a pine forest; it has been discontinued. Taiga's longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters lean towards fall and spring, with winter and summer further behind. It is picked most for leisure time and evenings, and masculine and feminine votes sit almost level, so it reads comfortably on anyone. Pine, cypress absolute and birch leaf give it a green, resinous woodland feel. Patchouli and cedarwood set an earthy, woody ground, while Russian leather adds a smoky edge. Benzoin, frankincense absolute, myrrh and elemi resin pull the whole scent towards a spicy, warm resin tone.

Aranyaka

8.2

Pryn Parfum · 2018

Green · Spicy · Woody

Pryn Parfum Aranyaka is a unisex scent that pairs leather, earth and smoke with a rough animalic edge, and it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair share of voters find it feminine. Goatskin, leather and castoreum form a hard core, and civet deepens the animal side. Oakmoss and soil lay down a green, damp ground, while frankincense adds resinous smoke. Saffron, clove and nutmeg bring the spice, and lavender a light freshness. Prin Aran / อรัญ and Amouage Epic Man have a close profile.

Turkish Leather

7.7

Pryn Parfum · 2016

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Pryn Parfum Turkish Leather is a sweet, smoky, leathery unisex scent that suits autumn and winter evenings and nights out. Leather and suede form the core, softened by gourmand sweetness from lokum, caramelized date and cocoa powder. Pimento adds spice, while frankincense and Laotian oud bring a resinous, woody depth. Raki and French cistus round out the smoky, oriental feel. It has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings or nights out; summer is rarely chosen. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair number call it feminine.

Aksum

8.7

Pryn Parfum · 2017

Spicy · Woody · Oriental

Pryn Parfum Aksum is a unisex scent that pairs Taif rose, Assam oud and frankincense in an animal, resinous and smoky character; it has been discontinued. Taif rose, jasmine sambac and tuberose form a floral frame, but it is read alongside the rough character of goatskin, hyraceum and dragon's blood. Spicy, earthy and leathery accords dominate, while oud and myrrh lay a woody, smoky ground. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. It suits those who like a dense, animal, oriental scent and does not lean to either gender. Prin Arsalan and L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh have a close profile.

Ayothaya

7.6

Pryn Parfum · 2017

Floral · Green · Spicy

Pryn Parfum Ayothaya is a unisex scent that pairs a floral, spicy start with a woody, resinous and smoky body; it has been discontinued. Jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang give the scent a floral frame, while cinnamon, clove and white pepper add a spicy warmth. Frankincense, myrrh and opoponax bring resinous depth; patchouli, vetiver and lichen build an earthy, slightly green ground. Gun powder and Burmese ebony push the smoky, animal side forward. Voters rate the longevity as strong and the sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It sits between masculine and feminine and suits those who want something heavy and full. Jorum Studio Arborist and Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Eau des Îles have a close profile.

Morah

7.8

Pryn Parfum · 2017

Floral · Spicy · Woody

Pryn Parfum Morah is a unisex scent that pairs oakmoss, tobacco and Indian tuberose, setting floral and spicy sides against a dark woody base; it has been discontinued. The notes have no top, heart and base split and read as a single whole. Gardenia and Indian tuberose bring heavy white flowers, sitting beside black pepper, cumin and civet with their spicy, animalic edge. Oakmoss and sandalwood form a woody backbone, while tobacco and opium add a smoky, resinous depth. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, characterful build suits both men and women.

Mogao

7.8

Pryn Parfum · 2017

Citrus · Floral · Green

Pryn Parfum Mogao is a unisex scent that sets the spiced citrus of tangerine, star anise and cinnamon against leather and frankincense; it has been discontinued. Citrus and spice lead: tangerine, mandarin orange and orange brightness meets the warmth of star anise, cinnamon and Sichuan pepper. Osmanthus and orange blossom add a floral sweetness, while Lapsang Souchong tea draws a smoky edge. Leather, frankincense and resins settle it onto a woody, earthy and slightly animalic base. Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Its spicy, smoky build makes it a characterful scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Parfum Prissana Dunhuang and Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex have a similar profile.

Marcello

8.5

Pryn Parfum · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Pryn Parfum Marcello is a unisex scent built around oakmoss, cognac, leather and cigar, with a sweet, woody, leathery character; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin for a long time rather than filling a room. With few votes behind these ratings, they give only a rough idea. It sits comfortably on both men and women. The notes read as a single whole: the warm sweetness of cognac and brandy, the gourmand side of dried fruits and dark chocolate, and beneath them the dry, leathery tone of oakmoss, leather and cigar. Frankincense adds resin, and bergamot brings a fresh contrast. Azman Killer Vavoom and Superdry Double Dry have a close profile.

Hikari / 光

6.7

Pryn Parfum · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Green

Pryn Parfum Hikari / 光 is a fresh, green and floral unisex scent that has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. The ratings come from only a small number of voters, so treat this as a loose impression. It reads comfortably on both men and women, with no clear gender lean. Nashi pear and green apple give it a crisp, fruity brightness, while blackcurrant leaf deepens the green side. Osmanthus, hibiscus and chrysanthemum add a floral layer, and sake and hop absolute bring an unusual twist. Cashmeran, ambroxan and Norlimbanol™ form a woody, slightly spicy and synthetic base.
