Sultré

Regency Cosmetics · 1988

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Regency Cosmetics Sultré is a feminine fragrance with a floral, sweet character, warmed by a spicy, oriental touch. In Sultré, jasmine, tuberose, rose and orange blossom sit together as a dense bouquet, resting on a sweet, powdery base. Spices add an oriental warmth, while lemon lightens the weight of the flowers a little. Musk softens the whole and leaves a powdery finish. The sweet, full floral heart of jasmine and orange blossom sets the main line of the scent. Miller Harris Fleur Oriental and Rochas Byzance have a similar profile.

Sassique

7.0

Regency Cosmetics · 1988

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Regency Cosmetics Sassique is a fresh, fruity women's fragrance that sets the brightness of tangerine, plum and lemon against the sweet warmth of vanilla and amber. It opens with tangerine, plum, apple and lemon, a lively start of citrus and fruit. In the heart, jasmine and rose add a soft floral note while sandalwood lays a woody foundation. The base of vanilla, musk and amber sweetens and warms the scent, with a light spicy touch running through that sweetness. Most voters find it suited to leisure, daily wear, work and evenings, with fewer choosing it for a night out. It is classed as a women's fragrance.

Tawanna (Cologne)

7.6

Regency Cosmetics · 1983

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Regency Cosmetics Tawanna (Cologne) is a feminine oriental scent that sets a floral heart of jasmine, rose and lily of the valley against spices and frankincense; it has been discontinued. Its notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Jasmine, rose and lily of the valley form the floral core, while spices and frankincense add oriental warmth and a faint smoky edge. Oakmoss gives it depth, and the sweet, powdery accords keep the overall feel soft and old-fashioned. It is floral at heart but not a plain flower scent, with a clearly spicy and sweet side. Elizabeth Taylor Passion (Eau de Toilette) and Estēe Lauder Youth-Dew (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
