Bella Freud · 2016

Floral · Green · Fruity

Bella Freud Close to my Heart is a floral chypre with a green, powdery and gently sweet character, made for women.

There is not enough input on seasons or occasions, so all that can be said is that it leans feminine. The scent stays within a floral frame, led by jasmine, neroli, tuberose absolute and May rose. Sandalwood, patchouli and black musk lay a creamy, woody base; moss supplies the chypre feel and oud adds a darker depth. Fruity and spicy touches keep the sweetness in check. Guerlain Mayotte and Pierre de Velay Essence Rare have a close profile.

Cyberpunk

7.3

Andromeda's Curse · 2020

Fresh · Green · Synthetic

Andromeda's Curse Cyberpunk is a woody, smoky scent built on leather, patchouli and spice, in which a fresh, green streak meets a synthetic texture. The notes read as a single whole: leather and exhaust set the main character, while masala chai adds a spicy warmth. Patchouli and sequoia lay down an earthy, woody, resinous base, and black musk softens it. The fresh and green accords keep the scent from turning wholly heavy and dark. It is presented as a women's fragrance, yet its leathery, smoky build stays well away from the usual floral sweetness. Mugler A*Men Pure Leather and Akro Malt share a close profile.
