Lip-Lock

6.3

The Perfume Connection · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

The Perfume Connection Lip-Lock is a floral, fruity and sweet unisex scent that opens with Italian bergamot, rose and blackcurrant and softens into amber and white peach. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable up close without filling a room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably on both men and women. Bergamot, rose and exotic fruits lead the top, while amber, osmanthus and white peach carry the fruity sweetness through the heart. The base of suede, tonka bean and vanilla blossom settles into a creamy, spicy warmth. Givenchy L'Interdit Parfum and The House of Oud Bonbon Pop have a close profile.

Cosmo

The Perfume Connection · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

The Perfume Connection Cosmo is a unisex scent that moves from a fresh floral opening of bergamot and rose through violet and aquatic notes to a soft, creamy base of vanilla blossom and Indian sandalwood.

In the heart, violet comes forward, aquatic notes add airiness and pink pepper a little spark. The base of Indian sandalwood, vanilla blossom and ambroxan settles into a sweet, creamy finish.

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

The Perfume Connection Oud Connection is a unisex scent that ties oud, vanilla and sandalwood to a bright opening of mandarin orange and rose, sweet and spicy in character.
