Angelique Noir

7.9

Volaré

Fresh · Floral · Green

Volaré Angelique Noir is a unisex scent that links a fresh, green start to a sweet, powdery, gourmand texture. Pink pepper, pear and angelica open fresh with a light spice. In the heart, jasmine and caraway form a floral, spicy bridge. The base is led by vanilla and cedar, with angelica returning there. The overall impression is creamy and woody, a sweetness softened by oriental warmth. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and is suggested almost as often for a night out, business and evenings. Its profile is close to Jo Adams Candid and FOMO Eclat Noir.

Cuir Belga

8.1

Volaré

Fruity · Sweet · Spicy

Volaré Cuir Belga is a unisex scent that opens with aldehydes and tangerine and settles into a sweet, suede-and-vanilla leather. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative read. There are no season or occasion votes, so no particular time of year stands out, but it sits comfortably on both men and women. It starts bright and lightly fruity with aldehydes and tangerine. At the heart, patchouli and immortelle lay down a woody, spicy ground. The base of amber, heliotrope, vanilla and suede turns creamy, powdery and sweet around a leather core. Guerlain Cuir Béluga (Eau de Parfum) and Routine Paris Pouvoir Noir have a close profile.

Honey Tobacco

8.6

Volaré

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Volaré Honey Tobacco is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent led by honey, tobacco and tonka bean; it has been discontinued. The top opens with honey, clove and aniseed, the spice staying behind the sweetness. In the heart, roasted sesame, tonka bean, tobacco and vanilla make it creamy and powdery. Sandalwood and oud settle underneath as a woody, resinous base. Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small. With its oriental character it reads dense and warm, and it can be worn by men and women alike. Guerlain Tobacco Honey and Bujairami Smoking Gun have a close profile.
