top2base

Green · Spicy · Woody

top2base down2earth is a woody, resinous and faintly smoky unisex scent led by sandalwood, benzoin and Indonesian oud. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence: sandalwood and cedarwood give a dry woodiness, while benzoin and labdanum soften it with resinous warmth. Nagarmotha and oud add a green, spicy and smoky edge. Its sillage is rated moderate, though with few votes that is only a rough guide. It suits men and women alike who want something heavy and earthy. Its profile is close to Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême and Coreterno Hierba Nera.

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

top2base Oud@Amber is a sweet, spicy unisex scent built around oud and amber, which appear in the top, the heart and the base alike. It opens with oud and amber sharpened by Bengal pepper. In the heart, wheat absolute adds a creamy, faintly gourmand warmth, while oud and amber stay in the picture. The base keeps only oud and amber: a woody, resinous, smoky and slightly animalic oriental dry-down that leans sweet. With its resinous, smoky build, it is a dense scent that suits cooler weather. Cartier Oud & Ambre and Montale Aoud Ambre have a close profile.
