Eau de Parfum

By/Rosie Jane James Eau de Parfum is a fresh, green and lightly fruity floral for women, built around green jasmine, mandarin water and Kadota fig. James wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the occasions named most often, with business wear not far behind. It reads as a feminine fragrance. It opens with green jasmine, citrus notes and mandarin water for a bright, cool start, softened by the rain accord and the solar note. In the heart, Kadota fig and gardenia turn the floral side sweeter and creamier. Amberwood, forest soil and soil close it on an earthy base.

Zombie for Her

6.0

Demeter Fragrance Library · 2013

Green · Spicy · Woody

Demeter Fragrance Library Zombie for Her is an unusual feminine scent built from damp, forest-floor notes such as mushrooms, soil and moss; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage good, though few people have voted, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those. The scent reads as one whole: mushrooms, soil, leaves, wine lees, mildew and moss sit side by side. Green, earthy and woody accords lead, with spicy and fougère touches alongside. Zombie for Him and Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground have a close profile.

Samara

7.8

Gather Perfume · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Gather Perfume Samara is a fresh scent for women that sets the smell of rain and soil against cool citrus and green notes. The notes read as a single whole: the rain accord and soil set the ground, while melon rind adds a light fruity freshness. Lemon vervain, kaffir lime leaf and lemon blossom bring the citrus forward, and elm seed and violet leaf strengthen the green side. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though with few votes these ratings are tentative. Without season or occasion votes there is little to say about when to wear it, but its fresh, earthy profile suggests a calm everyday scent. Yves Rocher Fraîcheur Végétale de… Verveine and Chloé Verbena have a close profile.

Rose Fantôme

7.7

Lvnea

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Lvnea Rose Fantôme is a chypre-leaning women's perfume that sets rose against oakmoss, oak wood and soil. The scent reads more earthy and woody than floral. Rose sits softly beside the oakmoss and oak wood, while soil and cep add a damp, forest-floor depth. Immortelle and hay sweeten it a little and bring a spicy warmth, and a powdery edge smooths the overall impression. Anyone drawn to earthy chypre styles may find a close profile in Parfum d'Empire Immortelle Corse and Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum.
