King

Armaf · 2024

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Armaf King is a fruity, sweet men's fragrance led by mirabelle plum and sandalwood. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score them high. The number of votes is small, so this is a rough guide rather than a firm verdict. It reads as a masculine scent, and its sweet, gourmand build leaves a full, dense trail. It opens with mirabelle plum and fruity notes. In the heart, chestnut, gourmand and spicy notes soften it into a creamy sweetness. The base of sandalwood, amber, balsamic and powdery notes sets a woody, resinous ground. Cartier Pasha de Cartier Parfum and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Honey Santal have a close profile.

Incense Gold

8.1

Riiffs

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Riiffs Incense Gold is a resinous, smoky men's fragrance that opens on rose and saffron and settles into frankincense, amber and vanilla. Rose and saffron give the top a floral, spiced warmth. In the heart, frankincense and gourmand notes build a sweet, smoky resin. The base of woods, amber and vanilla gathers this oriental character onto a woody, sweet footing. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Voters place it mostly on nights out and evenings, then leisure time, and the masculine vote leads. Fueguia 1833 Azafrán and Lattafa Opulent Oud have a close profile.

L'Eau de Monsieur - Patchouly & Réglisse

8.4

Féret Parfumeur

Citrus · Floral · Green

Féret Parfumeur L'Eau de Monsieur - Patchouly & Réglisse is a spicy, woody men's scent in which patchouli and Glycyrrhiza glabra share the lead. It runs as a single piece from start to finish: the earthy depth of patchouli sits beside the sweet, gourmand tone of Glycyrrhiza glabra, with spicy and woody notes framing them without hardening the result. Citrus and green accords lighten the air, while a powdery, creamy softness balances the sweetness. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters place it almost evenly across daytime, evening and nights out, and also find it suitable for business and leisure. It reads masculine. Police Imperial Patchouli (Eau de Toilette) and Roger & Gallet Open Gold share a close profile.

Nitro Blue

7.3

Dumont

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Dumont Nitro Blue is a masculine scent that opens on orange blossom, basil and cinnamon and sits between fresh and sweet; it has been discontinued. In the top, lemon and sage brighten the scent while orange blossom and cinnamon add a sweet warmth. The heart brings tolu balm, praliné and black cardamom, where the gourmand and creamy side becomes clear. The base settles on black amber, patchouli and Brazilian rosewood, giving a woody foundation. Aquatic and synthetic tones run through the accords as well. Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a few people have voted, so that picture is tentative. There are not enough votes to say which seasons or occasions suit it.

7.5

House of Sillage · 2020

Fresh · Aquatic · Fruity

House of Sillage Gentlemen's Collection - The Contemporary pairs pink pepper, cardamom and cedarwood in a sweet, spicy, fruity fragrance for men. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, with most voters scoring both high, though the number of votes is small. It is classed as a masculine fragrance. The top has fruity notes, pink pepper and sage, giving a fresh, aquatic start. In the heart, plum, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon add spicy warmth. The base joins gourmand and animalic notes with cedarwood and amber, settling sweet, woody and slightly powdery.

Signature

7.2

Jeanne Arthes

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Jeanne Arthes Signature is a men's fragrance that pairs citrus and fruity sweetness with a powdery, woody backbone. It opens with pear, clary sage and bergamot, so the first impression is bright, lightly fruity and citrusy. In the heart, lavender, orange tree wood and tonka bean take over: the clean lavender softens against the tonka, adding a creamy, sweet feel. The base of white cedar, ambergris and gourmand notes settles the woody, powdery side into a sugary warmth. Floral and synthetic accents run through the whole composition. Its profile is close to Ariana Grande Cloud (Eau de Parfum) and Robert Piguet Petit Fracas.
