Firedance

Ruth Mastenbrœk · 2017

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Ruth Mastenbrœk Firedance is a unisex scent that sets the brightness of apple and lemon against the dark warmth of leather, damask rose and oud. It opens with a short burst of apple and lemon. In the heart, leather, cashmere and damask rose take over, and the floral side is hardened by leathery and smoky accords. The base of patchouli and oud pulls it toward earthy, resinous and animalic ground, with sweet and spicy tones running through. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, dark build suits cooler weather, and it reads as neither masculine nor feminine.

Amorosa

Ruth Mastenbrœk · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Green

Ruth Mastenbrœk Amorosa is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that pairs the green bite of galbanum and violet leaf with the creamy blooms of tuberose and ylang-ylang. Most voters pick Amorosa for leisure and daily wear, with business use as another common choice. Some also wear it for evenings and nights out, but the weight sits in daytime hours. It reads as feminine overall. It opens with galbanum and violet leaf, which give a cool, green feel, while watermelon pulls it towards a light fruity sweetness. In the heart, ylang-ylang and tuberose add a creamy floral body. The base of amber and vetiver dries down woody, with a spicy warmth.
