Tendre Est La Nuit - obscur

Majda Bekkali · 2013

Spicy · Woody · Oriental

Majda Bekkali Tendre Est La Nuit - obscur is a spicy, woody and animalic scent that leans towards autumn and winter evenings; it is marketed for women, yet voters split almost evenly between feminine and masculine. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is worn mainly for evenings and nights out, with leisure wear close behind. Summer and the office are far less common. The top holds cabreuva, ambrette, Corsican immortelle and carrot, and the heart adds benzoin, davana and Sichuan pepper for a warm, resinous spiciness. The base is dominated by labdanum, frankincense, leather, civet and castoreum, while patchouli and oakmoss deepen the smoky, earthy, leathery character.

7.3

Lancaster · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Lancaster Le Parfum Solaire is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that suits spring and summer days. It opens with lily of the valley, aldehydes, ylang-ylang and petitgrain, which feel clean and lightly bright. The heart builds a floral body from hyacinth, rose, jasmine and cinnamon, and the base of violet, heliotrope and white musk leaves it sweet, powdery and creamy. A synthetic edge runs through the accords. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters also read it as feminine. Tesori d'Oriente Muschio Bianco / White Musk and Ulric de Varens Gold-Issime have a close profile.

Jasmin Céleste

7.0

Sharini Parfums Naturels

Fresh · Floral · Green

Sharini Parfums Naturels Jasmin Céleste is a feminine scent that opens a floral heart of jasmine and neroli with the brightness of grapefruit and blood orange. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. It suits those who want a soft, close-to-the-skin scent for daytime rather than something that fills a room. Grapefruit and blood orange give a fresh, fruity start. The heart is made of geranium, rose, petitgrain, jasmine and neroli, where the floral and green sides dominate. In the base, cabreuva, benzoin, ambrette and cedarwood settle the scent onto a sweet, powdery, woody ground. Carthusia Aria di Capri and Jil Sander Background have a close profile.
