Courrèges · 1974

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Courrèges Eau de Courrèges (1974) is a fresh, green, earthy women's fragrance that pairs mint and citrus notes with a chypre accord; it has been discontinued. Taken as a whole it reads fresh and green: mint and citrus notes carry the lift, while the chypre accord and musk settle it onto a woody, lightly spicy and earthy base. The floral side stays in the background, leaving a clean but composed scent. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Though sold as feminine, some voters find it masculine, so it moves between the two. Dior Eau Sauvage Extrême and Sisley Eau de Campagne have a close profile.

Mugler · 2006

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Mugler Innocent Summer Flash is a fresh, fruity women's fragrance with a floral, sweet side and a lighter gourmand touch. It has been discontinued.

A synthetic edge also shows in its accords.

Rising Sun

5.6

Mel Merio · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Mel Merio Rising Sun is a women's fragrance built on floral notes, musk and fresh notes; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a single whole: floral notes set the main line, musk adds a soft, powdery base, and fresh notes lighten both. Fresh and citrus accords lead, while fruity and sweet touches soften that brightness, with a synthetic sheen running through it. Afnan Perfumes Pure Musk and Calvin Klein Cotton Musk have a close profile.

6.9

Le Bel Aujourd'hui

Fresh · Floral · Green

Le Bel Aujourd'hui Perle de Marisco is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built from floral notes, white blossoms, fresh notes and powdery notes. The scent reads as a single whole rather than a layered pyramid. White blossoms and floral notes set the main character, fresh notes lighten it, and powdery notes lay a soft base underneath. Fresh and floral lead the accords, with green and sweet as supporting shades, while synthetic and spicy touches stay in the background. The result is a clean, powdery, slightly sweet floral impression. Bronnley Camélia and Dior Cheval Blanc Paris have a close profile.

Killer Honey

6.5

Neotantric

Floral · Green · Fruity

Neotantric Killer Honey is a floral, sweet women's perfume built around ylang-ylang, pink pepper, peach and jasmine. Longevity and sillage both come across as moderate, though only a handful of votes back this up, so take it as a rough guide. There is not enough seasonal or occasion data to point it anywhere specific; it is made for women. It opens with ylang-ylang, pink pepper and fresh notes, the spice sharpening the floral side a little. The heart brings patchouli, peach and jasmine, where fruity sweetness is held in check by a green streak. The base of rose, musk and cistus settles into a powdery, oriental warmth.

6.9

Hildegard Braukmann · 2002

Fresh · Floral · Green

Hildegard Braukmann Emosie / Emosie Body is a women's fragrance where floral, fresh and green notes open onto bergamot and peach, then settle into vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris; it has been discontinued. Floral, fresh and green notes come first, and in the heart bergamot and peach soften them with a fruity touch. In the base, vanilla adds sweetness, sandalwood lays down a woody floor and ambergris brings a powdery warmth. The overall impression is fresh and floral, with a sweet, slightly synthetic tone behind it. It is meant for women. There is too little feedback to say how long it lasts or how far it carries; Hildegard Braukmann Body Care and Sue Wong Magic have a close profile.

Sumatra Rain Woman

7.5

Mülhens · 1999

Fresh · Floral · Green

Mäurer & Wirtz Eruption Woman and Stendhal Rouge Divin have a close profile.
