Adone

8.1

Re Profumo · 2014

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Re Profumo Adone opens with frankincense and lime, then settles into Turkish rose, amber and vetiver: a floral, sweet and spicy unisex scent. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it is also worn for leisure. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably on either side. Giorgio Armani Onde Mystère and Amouage Dia Man have a close profile. The opening pairs the resinous warmth of frankincense with the sharpness of lime. In the heart, Turkish rose and amber take over; the floral side turns sweeter, with a powdery, oriental feel. Vetiver anchors the base, leaving the scent woody and faintly smoky.

7.8

Re Profumo · 2014

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Re Profumo Alèxandros is a sweet, spicy and woody unisex scent, where a floral and gourmand side rests on a leathery, smoky base. Cinnamon, frankincense and ylang-ylang come first, with jasmine adding a soft floral heart. At the base, vanilla sweetens the scent while cedarwood, sandalwood, leather and patchouli bring a woody, animalic and smoky depth. Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also suits leisure time. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads as truly in between. Paris Corner Mysterium and Unique'e Luxury Chypre Toscano have a close profile.

Sogno d'Amore

7.6

Re Profumo · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Re Profumo Sogno d'Amore is a unisex fragrance that carries a bright opening of lemon and orange into a heart of patchouli and lily, then down to musk and styrax.

Musk and styrax in the base pull the scent towards a powdery, slightly sweet and spicy warmth. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling a room, though the number of ratings is small. It suits men and women alike. Bois 1920 Agrumi Amari di Sicilia and L'Erbolario Assenzio have a close profile.

Superuomo

7.6

Re Profumo · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Re Profumo Superuomo is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, green citrus character and a spicy, woody backbone underneath. Its longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, though the small number of votes makes that a rough guide. Voters pick it most for business and daily wear, with leisure and nights out close behind. It reads equally easily on men and women. It opens with red pepper, green mandarin orange and lime, a sharp, lively citrus. In the heart, cardamom, neroli and myrtle pull that freshness toward spice and flowers. Haitian vetiver, musk and beeswax in the base settle it onto a woody, lightly sweet and powdery ground. Comme des Garçons Series 4: Cologne - Vettiveru and Bon Parfumeur 003 Yuzu Feuilles de Violette Vétiver have a close profile.
