Eau de Parfum

Rituals Velvet Aura Eau de Parfum is a sweet, spicy and gourmand women's scent built around star anise, cardamom and vanilla. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards evening and night-out wear, with daily and leisure use close behind. It reads clearly feminine. It opens with the spicy mix of star anise, clove leaf and cardamom. In the heart, orris root and neroli soften that into something powdery. The dry-down settles on gaiac wood, vanilla and sandalwood, leaving a sweet, woody and warm base.

The Ritual of Yozakura

7.9

Rituals · 2024

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Rituals The Ritual of Yozakura is a sweet, powdery unisex scent built around white blossoms, Yoshino cherry and vanilla. White blossoms and Yoshino cherry give it a floral, fruity start, while black rice and vanilla pull it toward something creamy and sweet. Ambergris softens that sweetness and adds a powdery feel. Voters rate its longevity and sillage on the weak side, so it stays close to the skin. Most lean toward fall, spring and summer, with winter a little behind. It suits leisure, daily wear and evenings. Parfums de Marly Cassili and Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif have a close profile.

Chabana

7.2

Rituals · 2019

Fresh · Floral · Green

Rituals Chabana is a fragrance for women built on camellia and green tea set against the cool greenness of ostrich fern; it has been discontinued. The notes read as one whole rather than a split between opening and base: the soft floral side of camellia, the fresh, clean air of green tea, the crisp green of fern. Fresh, floral and green accords lead, while spicy, woody, creamy and earthy touches sit behind them and soften and deepen the scent a little. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear come first, with the office not far behind. Most find it feminine, though a fair share of voters call it masculine.

Everlasting Oudh

8.0

Rituals · 2026

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Rituals Everlasting Oudh is a unisex scent that sets a floral, fruity sweetness on an oriental, woody base. Raspberry opens it, coffee sits at the heart and oud anchors the base. The fruity sweetness comes first, then coffee deepens the scent and oud dries down woody and spicy. The floral accord softens the density of it. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is still small, so that picture is tentative. With its sweet, spicy build it suits cooler days and evenings better than heat. It leans neither masculine nor feminine. Loewe Wild Coffee and Louis Vuitton Ombre Nomade have a close profile.

⁴⁷Ag Silver

7.9

Rituals · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Rituals ⁴⁷Ag Silver is a unisex fragrance that sets a fresh opening against a sweet, spicy and resinous body, with gourmand and smoky touches alongside. It opens with spices and rum, and jasmine in the heart adds a soft floral note. In the base, tonka bean sweetens the scent while myrrh brings a resinous, smoky depth. The overall impression is oriental and woody, though the freshness never disappears completely. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the vote counts are small, so these ratings are tentative. Most voters pick it for nights out and evenings, while daily wear, leisure and business share the remaining votes. It reads neither masculine nor feminine.

⁷⁹Au Gold

7.0

Rituals · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Rituals ⁷⁹Au Gold is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, floral side with a sweet, creamy and spicy warmth. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women. Cardamom and bergamot open on a bright, lightly spiced note. In the heart, orange blossom adds a soft, creamy floral touch. Patchouli and vanilla in the base sweeten it and lead it into an oriental warmth.

Oriental Essence - Océan Indigo

6.5

Rituals · 2018

Fresh · Aquatic · Fruity

Rituals Oriental Essence - Océan Indigo is a fresh, aquatic scent classed as masculine. Mandarin orange brings a fruity brightness, cardamom adds a light spiced warmth, and white vetiver keeps everything on a clean footing. A creamy softness and a slightly synthetic sheen run through the accords. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. Its profile is close to Xerjoff 1986 and Mercedes-Benz Club Blue.

Nouwa

6.6

Rituals · 2026

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Rituals Nouwa is a sweet, floral women's fragrance that opens with spices, citrus notes and marula and softens into orris root, tonka bean and cedarwood. Spices, citrus notes and marula give the opening a fruity, lively start. At the heart, orris root adds a powdery, creamy softness. In the base, tonka bean keeps the sweetness going while cedarwood draws a woody frame around it. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Juliette Has A Gun Liquid Illusion and Kenzo Cèdre Secret have a close profile.

Blond Santal

6.5

Rituals

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Rituals Blond Santal is a unisex fragrance with a sweet, spicy and woody character, with floral and fruity touches in an oriental frame. It opens with cinnamon and plum, so spice and fruit arrive together. In the heart, rose, benzoin and styrax turn floral softness into a resinous sweetness. Oud and sandalwood form a woody base, and a synthetic edge runs through the accords. It suits both men and women. Longevity and sillage are rated as moderate, though the small number of votes makes that impression tentative. Niche 4 All Oriental Amber and Al Haramain Cupid's Rose have a close profile.

M'Gouna

7.9

Rituals · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Rituals M'Gouna is a fresh, citrusy women's fragrance that suits daily wear, leisure time and the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither fills a room nor fades quickly. About a third of voters pick it for daytime, most of the rest for leisure and business, and very few for a night out. Clementine and prickly pear give it a fresh, fruity feel. Moroccan damask rose carries the floral side, while moss and leather stay in the background, softening the sweet, creamy accords.

The Ritual of Seshen (Hair & Body Mist)

6.2

Rituals · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Rituals The Ritual of Seshen (Hair & Body Mist) opens with bergamot, cardamom and orange blossom, then moves into marine notes and Egyptian jasmine: a fresh, floral hair and body mist, unisex. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, though with few votes this is only a rough guide. The light build suits reapplying through the day, and it stays close to skin and hair. Bergamot gives the opening a citrus freshness, with cardamom adding a light spice. In the heart, orange blossom, marine notes and Egyptian jasmine form an aquatic, slightly green floral. Mineral notes, white musk and gaiac wood leave a soft, woody base. Rituals Seshen (Eau de Parfum) and Lalique Eau de Lalique have a close profile.

Argan Oil & Velvet Flower

9.1

Rituals · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Rituals Argan Oil & Velvet Flower is a fresh, citrusy floral with a fruity sweetness and a creamy softness, unisex in feel. The top opens with white peach, bitter orange and jasmine tea, with citrus fruits keeping it bright. Rose, freesia, magnolia and jasmine form a floral heart. White musk, cedarwood and amber settle it onto a woody, creamy base. Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. No season or occasion votes have been entered; the fresh, sweet profile sits close to everyday wear. Jeanne Arthes Cassandra Rose Jasmin and Lanvin Marry Me! have a close profile.
