Padparadscha

7.4

Satellite · 2003

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Satellite Padparadscha is a spicy, woody unisex fragrance that sets its sweetness against a powdery, faintly smoky ground. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable on the skin without filling the room. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine and sits comfortably in between. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about when it suits best. It opens with pepper and juniper berry for a dry, spicy edge, and the heart pairs chili with jasmine, adding a soft floral warmth. The base of cedar, sandalwood, musk and amber turns it sweeter, settling into an earthy, oriental warmth. Bvlgari Bvlgari Black and Nabeel Chocolate Oud have a close profile.

Ipanéma

6.7

Satellite · 2006

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Satellite Ipanéma is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that opens with ylang-ylang, grapefruit and orange; it has been discontinued. Citrus leads at first: grapefruit and orange, softened by the sweet floral side of ylang-ylang. In the heart, white blossoms, freesia, coconut and sandalwood join an aquatic freshness to a fruity warmth. The base of patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla turns it sweeter, towards a gourmand, lightly oriental feel. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum) and Chanel Coco Noir (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
