Silent Grove

D.S. & Durga

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

D.S. & Durga Silent Grove opens with Virginia cedar, key lime and petitgrain, a fresh, green fragrance for women that has been discontinued. Citrus and cedar come first, with petitgrain adding a green edge. In the heart, white tea, linden tree and rose otto soften things and bring out the floral side. The base of white lotus, white musk and grass leaves a clean, lightly woody trail. Voters find longevity moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure lead the occasions. Feminine votes edge ahead, though masculine votes are substantial too, so it doesn't read strictly one way. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Nicolaï Riviera Verbena have a close profile.

Dans Ma Bulle de Fleurs

6.9

Carven · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Carven Dans Ma Bulle de Fleurs is a fresh, fruity floral that pairs citrus brightness with a soft, powdery and creamy feel, and it is described as a women's fragrance. It opens with lychee, mandarin orange, pear and green apple, a fruity and airy start. Peony, white lotus and freesia bring a floral heart, with dragée adding a sweet touch. Crystal amber, cashmere wood and musk settle it onto a woody, creamy base. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often. It reads feminine and modern. Engelsrufer Aurora and Violet Tanagra have a close profile.

Maimiti

7.5

Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume Maimiti is a creamy, sweet white-floral fragrance for women, led by ylang-ylang, jasmine and tuberose. It reads as one piece rather than a progression: tiaré, frangipani and white lotus keep the floral heart rich and tropical, while grapefruit adds a fruity lift. Ginger lily brings a light spice, and Mysore sandalwood and amyris give it a soft, woody base. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so take that loosely. With its oriental leaning, it comes across as a distinctly feminine scent. Boucheron Boucheron (2011) (Eau de Parfum) and Laura Biagiotti Forever Gold have a close profile.

Eau de Mars - Adorée Hathor

7.5

Aimée de Mars

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Aimée de Mars Eau de Mars - Adorée Hathor is a sweet, floral women's fragrance that sets bright bergamot and mandarin orange over jasmine, frangipani and lotus. It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange, citrusy and fruity. The heart gathers frangipani, white lotus, pink lotus and jasmine into a floral whole. In the base, frankincense, vanilla and tonka bean sweeten it; a powdery, creamy, resinous warmth leads, while spicy and smoky touches stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes back this up. Voters lean towards leisure and evening wear, with night outs and business also chosen. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Fragonard Encens Fève Tonka and Margot & Tita Nuit Féerique have a close profile.

Sensualité Exotique

8.0

Hei Poa · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Hei Poa Sensualité Exotique is a fresh, fruity women's scent that softens into a creamy, floral sweetness. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the ratings come from a small number of votes. The fresh, citrusy, sweet profile leans towards warm weather and daytime wear, with a light, easy feminine character. The top opens with citron, watermelon and dragon fruit, bright and juicy. In the heart, magnolia, white lotus and tiaré add a soft floral note. The base of vanilla and musk settles into a creamy, sweet finish. Berdoues Monoï & Coco and Jil Sander Sun Day have a close profile.

Zen White Lotus (Body Mist)

7.0

Therme

Fresh · Floral · Green

Therme Zen White Lotus is a fresh, floral body mist for women, with green and sweet shades softening its clean character. The notes are jasmine, white lotus and white musk. Jasmine carries the floral side, white lotus adds a green, airy touch, and white musk settles everything onto a soft, clean base. The sweetness stays in the background, and the overall impression is light, with a faintly synthetic cleanness. Voters rate it 7 out of 10. Sangado Hyacinth and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Lotus have a close profile.
