Esprit du Roi

6.8

Penhaligon's · 2011

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Penhaligon's Esprit du Roi opens with mandarin orange, cardamom and bergamot in a fresh, green citrus start and settles on a woody base; made for men, it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business are the occasions it gets the most votes for. Masculine leads the character votes, with classic and modern trailing behind. The top is bright with mandarin orange, cardamom, bergamot and mint. In the heart, clove, jasmine and geranium bring a floral, spicy note. The base rests on vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli, while raspberry adds a soft fruity touch. Joop! What About Adam and Hermès Eau de Cologne have a close profile.

Marie Jeanne

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Marie Jeanne Marcel is a fresh, green men's fragrance that sets citrus and floral touches against a woody base. It opens with Italian bergamot, blood orange, French lavender and French rosemary, which read bright, green and lightly spicy. In the heart, Madagascan ylang-ylang and Paraguayan petigrain add a soft floral note, while Haitian vetiver, cedar and Indonesian patchouli form a woody, powdery base as it dries down. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is seen as suiting leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it classic or feminine.
