Black Tobacco

Womo · 2014

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Womo Black Tobacco is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance built around tobacco flower, tobacco leaf and honey, and it suits autumn and winter evenings. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night outs and evenings leading, and although it is unisex, it leans masculine. It opens with cumin and tobacco flower for a spicy start, while tobacco leaf, honey and coriander form the heart. Tolu balm, vanilla and cocoa carry the base into a gourmand, resinous sweetness, with woody and oriental touches alongside. Guerlain Tobacco Honey and François Delì Sweet Tobacco have a close profile.

Womo

Fruity · Sweet · Spicy

Womo Black Amber is a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex fragrance built around black cherry, vanilla, tobacco and amber, leaning towards fall and winter evenings. The top opens with mugwort, buchu and black cherry, and the fruity sweetness shows from the start. In the heart, davana, cocoa tree and bitter almond deepen it. The base of vanilla, tobacco and amber leaves a resinous, smoky and slightly leathery warmth. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening, leisure and night out the favoured occasions. It reads somewhat more masculine but is unisex.

Black Powder

8.2

Womo · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Green

Womo Black Powder is a fresh, powdery floral that pairs green and spicy edges with a sweet, leathery warmth, and it suits both men and women. Most voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good. It leans towards fall and spring, with winter close behind and summer less favoured. Leisure, evening and night out collect the most votes, while daytime and business wear also get a share. It opens with iris, violet leaf and pink pepper, which give a cool, green and lightly spicy start. In the heart, jasmine, carnation and leather join the floral side to a leathery warmth. White musk, tonka bean and vanilla then settle it into a powdery, sweet dry-down.

Coiba

7.7

Womo

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Womo Coiba is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent that opens with orange blossom, mandarin orange and orange juice. Citrus leads at the top, while basil, white blossoms and juniper in the heart add a green, spicy edge, with cachaça staying in the background. White musk and amber in the base soften everything into a woody, powdery, creamy finish. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. It sits comfortably on men and women alike. Instituto Español Aire de Sevilla - Flor de Limón and Piper & Perro Grove have a close profile.

Red Velvet

8.4

Womo · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Womo Red Velvet is a unisex scent that pairs mugwort and jasmine with cistus absolute, leather and tobacco leaf, moving from a fresh floral start to a smoky, leathery heart. Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Voters don't settle on one season: fall leads slightly, but all four are close. Leisure and daily wear come first, with business and evening not far behind. Mugwort and jasmine open fresh and floral. In the heart, cistus absolute, leather and tobacco leaf build a spicy, resinous, smoky character. Gaiac wood, patchouli and amber close it with a woody, sweet warmth.

Black Oud

8.0

Womo

Spicy · Woody · Oriental

Womo Black Oud is a spicy, smoky unisex fragrance built on oud, sandalwood and patchouli. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It has a dense, heavy character that can sit on either men or women. It opens with black pepper, myrtle and saffron for a spicy start. In the heart, jasmine, coffee and frankincense come forward, and the base of oud, sandalwood and patchouli lays down a woody, earthy, resinous ground. Leathery and oriental touches run alongside. Le Labo Oud 27 and Armani Privé Oud Royal have a close profile.

Koh Tao

7.4

Womo

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Womo Koh Tao is a fresh, green unisex fragrance that pairs citrus and spice with a woody base. Its longevity is rated moderate, though few people have voted, so that is only a first impression. There are no votes on season, occasion or character, so it is hard to say when it suits best; it reads as unisex, neither distinctly masculine nor feminine. It opens with coriander, ginger, banana leaf and Tibetan bamboo, giving a cool, leafy air. In the heart, black pepper, cardamom and mace bring the spice forward, with grain softening the background. The base ties it to a dry, woody finish through cedarwood, vetiver and tea. Cartier Déclaration Cologne and Atkinsons Mint & Tonic have a close profile.
