Duchessa

Gritti · 2020

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Gritti Duchessa is a fruity, gourmand women's fragrance that leans towards fall and winter evenings, with spice keeping its sweetness in check. It opens with bitter orange, blood orange zest and black cherry, while marzipan and saffron blossom add a soft, sweet edge. In the heart, clove and cocoa come forward, rounded by jasmine and white blossoms. The base of brown sugar, almond and iris settles into a creamy, sweet finish. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters read it as feminine more than anything, though some call it masculine or modern. Tom Ford Lost Cherry (Eau de Parfum) and Dossier Ambery Cherry have a close profile.

Night Garden - Ottoman Rose

7.5

Crabtree & Evelyn · 2013

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Crabtree & Evelyn Night Garden - Ottoman Rose is a floral women's fragrance that sets rose among spice, fruit and a sweet oriental base; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though only a few voters have rated them. Nothing is known about preferred seasons or occasions, but the dark, sweet build sits closer to cooler weather. The top opens with rose, blackberry, tangerine, white pepper and nutmeg: a fruity brightness followed quickly by spice. The heart carries Taif rose and ylang-ylang, with clove leaf and saffron blossom keeping the spice going. The base settles into amber, sandalwood, vanilla and leather, which read woody, powdery and leathery. Xerjoff Opera and Franck Muller Aeternitas have a close profile.

Ooh La Rouge

7.5

Christian Siriano · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Christian Siriano Ooh La Rouge is a floral women's fragrance that pairs red grapefruit with gardenia and tuberose, sitting between fresh and sweet. Its strength and longevity are moderate, though the vote count is small, so that picture is tentative. There are no season or occasion votes, but the fresh citrus and creamy florals keep it close to everyday wear. Praliné, saffron blossom and red grapefruit open it fruity with a light spice. At the heart, gardenia, star jasmine and tuberose build a creamy floral body. Musk and amberwood leave a soft, woody base.
