L'Âme Perdue

Le Galion · 2017

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Le Galion L'Âme Perdue is a sweet, spicy, resinous floral with a chypre backbone, made for women and best suited to evenings. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and very few choose summer. It is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out, and voters call it feminine and classic. Rochas Moustache and Xerjoff Layla have a close profile. The opening brings Sicilian mandarin orange, cardamom and white pepper. At the heart, plum, Bulgarian rose and jasmine form a floral mass, with clove and cassia adding spice. It dries down sweet with Mexican vanilla, honey and amber, while oakmoss and patchouli give it a woody footing.

Naomi Jon · 2024

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Naomi Jon Villain opens with coffee and cardamom and settles into Sumatran benzoin, rose and vanilla, a sweet, gourmand fragrance for women. Villain wears at a moderate level for both longevity and sillage. Most voters place it in winter and fall, for evenings and nights out, and see it as mostly feminine with a modern feel. The top notes pair coffee with cardamom for a spicy start. In the heart, Sumatran benzoin and rose add a soft floral layer, while the base of tolu balm, musk, vanilla and amber leaves a sweet, warm, oriental finish with a woody trace.

Goddess

Nimerè

Fresh · Floral · Green

Nimerè Goddess is a feminine fragrance that opens fresh and floral, then deepens into spice, resin and wood with a powdery, creamy feel. The top is saffron, spices and bergamot: the bergamot brings freshness, while saffron and spices add warmth. Rose, jasmine and champaca carry the floral heart, with a green touch alongside. In the base, ambergris, myrrh, sandalwood and tonka bean build a sweet, creamy, resinous foundation, with vetiver and musk keeping it dry and soft. Overall it sits balanced between sweet and woody. Its profile is close to Etro Jacquard and Grossmith Sylvan Song.
