A Secret B

QueenB

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

QueenB A Secret B is a sweet, spicy unisex oriental with floral and gourmand touches, suited to cooler evenings. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring a distant third. It is named most for evenings and nights out, and it also reaches into leisure and daily wear. Some find it feminine, others masculine, so it sits comfortably between the two. Amber, musk and woody notes build a sweet, warm body. Spices and clove add a sharp edge to that sweetness, while patchouli brings an earthy depth. Oriental and gourmand accents lead, and the floral side stays in the background. Hilary Duff With Love and Afnan Perfumes Turathi (Blue) have a close profile.

Black Lily

7.0

QueenB

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

QueenB Black Lily is a unisex scent that leans towards autumn and winter evenings, with a floral, sweet character softened by a powdery, creamy woodiness. The scent reads as a single piece: jasmine and black lily draw a floral frame, while earthy and woody notes hold them from below. The accords bring a fruity sweetness, a spicy, oriental warmth and a powdery, creamy texture behind it. Voters find both longevity and sillage strong, though the sample is small. Most pick autumn and winter, and the evening and nights out are the favoured settings. It also works for leisure time, while the office gets the fewest votes. M. Micallef Glamour and Michael Kors Sexy Amber have a close profile.

Midnight Oud

8.0

QueenB

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

QueenB Midnight Oud is a unisex fragrance that sets a floral, sweet and spicy character over a smoky, resinous base. The notes read as one blend: jasmine, rose otto and black rose draw a floral frame, while saffron adds a spicy warmth. Patchouli, frankincense and vanilla pull it towards a woody, powdery, oriental sweetness, with fruity and smoky shades in between. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It suits anyone who likes a dense, spicy oriental, on either men's or women's skin. Shiseido Zen Secret Bloom and Keiko Mecheri Bois Satin have a close profile.

Black Apple

7.8

QueenB

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

QueenB Black Apple is a unisex fragrance that ties the fruity sweetness of pineapple, apple and peach to the gourmand warmth of vanilla and praliné. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one whole from start to finish. Apple, pineapple and peach set up a fruity, sweet surface, while vanilla and praliné soften it into something gourmand. Patchouli and musk stay in the background, adding a spicy, oriental depth, with a floral touch alongside. Longevity and sillage are rated strong, so it lasts on skin and projects well, though the number of votes is small and this should be read with caution. Being unisex, it suits anyone who likes sweet, gourmand scents. Al Haramain Oyuny and Nobile 1942 Café Chantant have a close profile.

Not Tonight

6.8

QueenB

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

QueenB Not Tonight is a unisex scent that sets a floral, fruity sweetness over the warm, resinous ground of oud and amber. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong; the votes are few, but they point the same way. It leaves a clear trail, so it suits evenings and busy rooms better than quiet ones. It can sit as comfortably on a man as on a woman. Pear and rose come forward, with fruity and floral notes carrying the sweetness. Oud, amber, musk and woody notes underneath add a spicy, slightly animal and powdery warmth. The overall impression is oriental.

Gray Oud

8.1

QueenB

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

QueenB Gray Oud is a unisex scent led by amber, jasmine and sandalwood, where a floral, sweet side meets a woody, spicy base. Taken as a whole, it reads warm and oriental. Amber and vanilla bring sweetness, jasmine adds a soft floral touch, and sandalwood and patchouli give it a woody depth. Bergamot and citrus notes lighten it a little, while musk leaves a powdery warmth. Resinous, smoky and leathery accents pull the scent towards a darker mood. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, though both ratings rest on only a handful of votes. It suits men and women alike and has a rich, assertive character. Isabelle Ariana Parfums Magic Amber and Bvlgari Bvlgari Black have a close profile.

Among the accords, fresh and floral ones dominate, the oriental and resinous sides stay in the background, and a powdery touch runs alongside. QueenB Moon Raker and Eutopie No. 1 have a close profile.
