Maharadjah

Nicolaï · 2006

Fresh · Floral · Green

Nicolaï Maharadjah is a discontinued women's fragrance that sets a fresh, green opening against a sweet, spicy and woody body. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It is most often chosen for evenings and nights out, and it also gets worn for leisure. It is classed as feminine, yet a good share of voters read it as masculine. Mint and coriander give the opening an aromatic freshness. In the heart, lavender, cinnamon and carnation add a spicy warmth. As it dries, patchouli, vanilla and sandalwood come forward, settling into a powdery, earthy, oriental sweetness. Guerlain Héritage and Lubin Black Jade have a close profile.

Kadine (2021)

Guerlain · 2021

Floral · Green · Sweet

Guerlain Kadine (2021) is a floral, green scent for women that blends sweet, powdery and leathery tones. It opens with aromatic notes and bergamot, a light green start. The heart is floral, with iris, jasmine and rose, the iris bringing out the powdery side. In the base, vanilla sweetens the scent and gives it a creamy softness, while leather adds a leathery edge to the woody, oriental feel. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming the room. The number of votes is small, so this reading is only indicative.

Margot & Tita

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Margot & Tita Vue sur l'Ocean is a fresh, aquatic women's fragrance that opens with bergamot, lemon and rosemary and settles into marine notes. The opening is led by the sharp citrus of bergamot and lemon, with rosemary adding an aromatic edge. In the heart, blackcurrant and geranium bring a fruity, floral softness, supported by aromatic notes. The base holds marine notes, apple and floral notes, and the whole stays fresh, lightly spicy and a little synthetic in feel. Its aquatic, citrus profile is close to Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò pour Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Joop! Nightflight (Eau de Toilette).
