Eau de Toilette

Kenneth Cole Signature Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy and aquatic men's fragrance with floral and green touches, and it has been discontinued. It opens with grapefruit, cardamom, pimento and violet, so the citrus freshness meets a little spice. In the heart, water lily, marine notes and orris root lead, with espresso staying in the background. The base of amber, gaiac wood, papyrus and patchouli adds a woody, earthy footing. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and it is made for men.

Heart of Darkness

8.5

Providence Perfume · 2016

Green · Sweet · Gourmand

Providence Perfume Heart of Darkness is a green, sweet and woody men's fragrance built around oakmoss, cistus and coffee. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters place it in the evening, leisure and daily wear, with night-out use close behind. It is classed as masculine. The notes read as a single whole: oakmoss and tree moss lay down a green, earthy base, while coffee and espresso add a gourmand sweetness. Nutmeg brings spice, frankincense resin and tonka bean softness, and cedarwood, vetiver and lavender fill out the fougère character, with a smoky tone running through it. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Pour Homme and Jaguar Signature of Excellence have a close profile.

Maison Anthony Marmin

Citrus · Fruity · Sweet

Maison Anthony Marmin Mukhallat di Corleone is a men's fragrance that opens with citrus and settles into a sweet, gourmand, woody character; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted, so these figures are only a rough guide. The overall rating is high, 8.4 out of 10. Its spicy, oriental warmth suits cooler seasons and evenings, and it is described as a masculine scent. It opens with citron and espresso. In the heart, herbs and orange keep it fruity and give it a spicy edge. The base of sandalwood and oud grounds the sweet, creamy side in wood. Nejma Seven and Axe Black Vanilla have a close profile.
