Almost Transparent Blue

What We Do Is Secret · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

What We Do Is Secret Almost Transparent Blue is a men's fragrance that pairs the fresh citrus of lime and yuzu with aldehydes and thyme blossom over a woody base; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Most call it masculine, with some finding it modern. It opens with a bright, fresh citrus from lime and yuzu. In the heart, aldehydes and thyme blossom push it towards a green, lightly spicy and aquatic line. The base settles on hinoki cypress, cedarwood and musk, giving a clean woody floor. A fruity, synthetic edge runs through it. Zirh Zirh and Kappa Blue have a close profile.

D.L. Roelen

Fresh · Floral · Green

D.L. Roelen Flower Boy is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh, green floral character against a smoky, earthy base. It opens with Hinoki cypress, rose absolute and pot marigold, then moves into gardenia, patchouli and geranium. The base of tobacco, tar and sandalwood makes it woody, spicy and lightly smoky, while a sweet, powdery touch softens the flowers along the way. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. It reads masculine to the largest share of voters, though a good number find it feminine.

Eau de Toilette

s.Oliver Pure Sense Men Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance whose fruity brightness is balanced by a spicy, woody backdrop, leaning towards relaxed everyday wear. Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate, though with few votes these ratings are only a rough guide. Voters pick leisure and daily wear most often, followed by the office; evening comes well behind. It opens on apple, grapefruit and bitter orange, a lively fruit-and-citrus mix. In the heart, lavender, juniper berry and hinoki cypress keep the coolness going. The base of patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood settles it onto a woody footing.

Jinx · 2025

Woody · Oriental · Creamy

Jinx Oud Bhut Beng is a woody, oriental and creamy men's fragrance built on several kinds of oud alongside cedar, patchouli and amber. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so it stays on skin and carries around you for a long time. It is classed as masculine. It opens with spices, rosewood and hinoki cypress, then moves to geranium, cedar and patchouli in the heart. The base lets Laotian, Thai and Bhutanese oud soften into amber, balsam and vanilla cream, while birch tar adds a darker edge. A dense, creamy woodiness leads throughout. Al Ambra Ambra Nuit and Tiziana Terenzi Oud Mira have a close profile.
