Fast Life

5.6

Value · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Value Fast Life is a unisex fragrance that opens with mandarin orange, lavender and bergamot, a fresh, citrusy and floral scent softened by sweetness. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage weak, though the small number of votes means this isn't a firm verdict. It is made for men and women alike, with no clear lean towards a particular season or occasion. It starts with mandarin orange, lavender and bergamot for a bright citrus lift. In the heart, jasmine, geranium and violet bring a floral, slightly powdery softness. The base is led by vanilla for sweetness, while cardamom, pepper, sandalwood and gaiac wood add a spicy, woody floor. A synthetic edge runs through the accords.

Good Habits

Value · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Synthetic

Value Good Habits is a fresh, citrusy and spicy unisex scent built around lemon, bergamot and black pepper. It opens bright with lemon and bergamot, while black pepper adds a slight edge. In the heart, orange blossom and vermouth soften the mood. The base of cedar, ambergris, leather and benzoin lays down a woody foundation, with a faintly synthetic feel among the accords. Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, though the number of votes is small. It suits those who want a light, clean scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Parfums de Marly Castley and Mozaick Soul Tree have a close profile.
