Good Fortune

Viktor & Rolf · 2022

Floral · Green · Fruity

Viktor & Rolf Good Fortune is a floral, creamy women's fragrance that links the green freshness of fennel and gentian to the sweetness of jasmine and Bourbon vanilla. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It is picked most for spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. Most voters read it as feminine, and some as modern. It opens with fennel and gentian, giving a green, lightly spicy feel. Jasmine at the heart adds a soft floral note, and Bourbon vanilla underneath sweetens the scent and pulls it towards a creamy warmth. Fruity and synthetic touches stay in the background. Emper Life Fortune and Avon Far Away Beyond have a close profile.

Bond No. 9 · 2008

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Bond No. 9 Lexington Avenue is a sweet, gourmand scent built on roasted almond, crème brûlée and pink peony; it has been discontinued. It opens with fennel, roasted almond and blue cypress, then the crème brûlée sweetness of the heart is softened by pink peony and pimento. Sandalwood and patchouli leave a woody, slightly powdery base. Floral, fruity and spicy accords sit around that gourmand core. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening or a night out; summer is rarely chosen. It is marketed as feminine, though a fair share of voters read it as masculine. Seven Veils and Jasmin de Nuit have a close profile.

Spring Harvest

7.3

The Burren Perfumery

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The Burren Perfumery Spring Harvest is a fresh, green and citrusy scent for women, suited to relaxed daytime wear in spring and summer. Mint and lemon balm open it, and the heart brings tarragon, lemon vervain, fennel and more mint. The whole reads herbal and crisp, with the floral and spicy accords staying in the background. Cedarwood and tonka bean in the base soften that freshness a little. Most voters pick summer and spring. Leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often as occasions. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters call it feminine more than anything else, though a fair share see it as masculine. Etat Libre d'Orange You or Someone like You and Guerlain Herbes Troublantes have a close profile.

Green Tea Intense

7.2

Elizabeth Arden · 2006

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Intense is a fresh, green women's fragrance built around green tea, peppermint and bergamot; it has been discontinued. It opens with rhubarb, caraway, bergamot, orange zest and lemon, a citrusy, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, green tea and peppermint lead, while jasmine and carnation soften the green with a floral note. Musk, oakmoss and amber leave it on a calm, clean base. Both longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a quiet, light trail through the day. Most voters choose it for leisure, business and daily wear, and fewer for evenings or nights out. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Elizabeth Arden Green Tea (Eau Parfumée) has a close profile.
