African Summer

Tchibo · 2014

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Tchibo African Summer is a sweet, floral women's fragrance that, despite its name, is chosen mostly for fall and winter, and suits both daily wear and the office. White tea keeps the opening light; in the heart, cherry blossom, frangipani and heliotrope give a floral, powdery sweetness. In the base, vanilla and white musk soften that sweetness, while vetiver and frankincense add a woody, spicy depth. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with business, daily and leisure wear leading the occasions. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to Kenzo Kenzo Amour and Lancôme Hypnôse (Eau de Parfum).

Grande Dame

7.1

Tchibo · 2010

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Tchibo Grande Dame, a women's fragrance from 2010 that has since been discontinued, is built around jasmine, lily and iris, softened by vanilla and sandalwood. Its longevity is rated good, though that view rests on only a few votes. There is not enough information on season, occasion or sillage; it is presented as a feminine scent. As a whole it reads floral and sweet. Jasmine, lily and iris carry the flowers, while vanilla adds a gourmand softness. Sandalwood and patchouli give it a woody base, and lemon and bergamot lighten it slightly. Spicy, oriental and powdery touches show up in the accords too. Rochas Rochas Man and Evody Note de Luxe have a close profile.

Sparkling Summer

7.4

Tchibo · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Tchibo Sparkling Summer is a fresh, citrusy women's fragrance built on bergamot, green mandarin orange and fig; it has been discontinued. The opening is bright with bergamot and green mandarin orange, while fig softens it with a green, fruity touch. Lily and jasmine form a floral heart, and an aquatic freshness runs through the whole scent. The base settles into dry, woody cedarwood and olive tree. For a similar profile, Versace Versense and Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi sit close by.

7.0

Tchibo · 2013

White woods and musk leave a sweet, powdery base underneath. The overall feel is fresh and citrusy, with a synthetic sparkle. Montale Roses Musk (Eau de Parfum) and Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Aniston (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
