Oud de Grasse

6.9

Solafa Scents · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Solafa Scents Oud de Grasse is a unisex chypre that opens fresh, citrusy and green, then settles into an earthy, woody oud base. Texas cedar, grapefruit and tonka bean come first, with geranium and patchouli in the heart. The base is led by Burmese and Thai oud, amber, sandalwood, oakmoss and civet, so the fresh opening gradually turns sweet, spicy and earthy. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as a rough guide. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine. Dedcool Fragrance Number 05 - Spring and Afnan Perfumes Ornament pour Homme have a close profile.

Jungle Song

6.6

Solafa Scents · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Solafa Scents Jungle Song is a unisex fragrance that sets a fresh opening of mimosa, Kahili ginger and bergamot against a woody base of vetiver, patchouli and oud. It opens with the floral, spicy freshness of mimosa and Kahili ginger, lifted by bergamot's citrus. In the heart, vetiver and patchouli take over and the scent turns green and earthy. The base of Indian vetiver, Malayan oud and cedar leaves a woody, smoky, slightly leathery trail. Sweet and powdery touches soften that dry woodiness, while resinous and oriental accents add warmth. Anfas Haneen and M. Micallef Akowa have a close profile if you like fresh notes sitting on a deep woody base.

Karama

7.0

Solafa Scents · 2023

Floral · Green · Sweet

Solafa Scents Karama is a woody, resinous unisex fragrance that pairs Indian and Cambodian oud with rose, saffron and spices. The top is led by oud, rose, saffron and spices; in the heart, jasmine, leather, papyrus, tobacco and frankincense pull it in a floral, smoky direction. The base holds myrrh, tobacco, oud and amber, and the scent settles into a sweet, creamy, powdery warmth. Oriental, earthy, leathery and animal tones run through the accords, with a green and synthetic edge showing up along the way. Memoize Era and Areej Al Ameerat Ruby Saffron have a close profile.
