Ventana

Armaf · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Armaf Ventana is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh, citrusy opening of grapefruit, mandarin orange and bergamot over a woody base of lavender and vetiver. The top holds grapefruit, mandarin orange, lemon, bergamot and red fruits, giving an aquatic, fruity freshness at first. Lavender, geranium, vetiver and patchouli form the heart, and labdanum, cedar, precious woods and amber leave a warm, spicy-woody finish. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and close to half of voters read it as masculine. Franck Olivier Bamboo for Men and Armaf Hunter Intense (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Carlo Colucci · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Carlo Colucci Signature for Him is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, fruity start with a spicy, woody base, leaning towards the sweet side. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Voters link it most with daily and leisure wear, with business and evening use close behind. There are no season votes, so that side stays open, but it reads as a masculine scent. The top is made of red fruits, cranberry and orange, with rosella and hibiscus adding a tangy floral edge. In the heart, cinnamon, violet and black tea come forward, and the scent then settles into a soft, creamy base of amber, cedarwood and fir balsam.

Franck Olivier · 2011

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Franck Olivier blueTouch is a fresh, lightly sweet and woody men's fragrance with a citrus and aquatic character. The top is mandarin orange, lemon, bergamot and red fruits, bright and fruity from the first spray. In the heart, galbanum, patchouli, sage and vetiver build a green, woody base, with melon adding some sweetness. Musk, amber and moss soften the dry-down. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it is neither heavy nor loud. Voters pick everyday wear most often, followed by leisure, sport and the office, while evening and night out trail behind. It reads as a balanced, easygoing men's scent. Afnan Turathi (Blue) and Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone have a close profile.

Dry

7.0

Superdry · 2011

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Superdry Dry is a fresh, fruity men's fragrance that ties its bright opening to a spicy, woody base. The top is built on red fruits, grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, with eucalyptus adding a cool edge to the citrus. In the heart, pink pepper, rose and cardamom bring a spicy turn, and moss, musk and woods settle it onto a woody base. Sweet, gourmand and synthetic accords sit behind the freshness, while smoky and leathery touches stay in the background. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters rate it fairly well. Superdry Dry Pony Edition and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb have a close profile.

Essential for Him

Replay · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Replay Essential for Him is a fresh men's fragrance that opens on aquatic notes, bergamot and cardamom and sweetens towards vanilla and sandalwood; it has been discontinued. The opening pairs aquatic notes, bergamot, red fruits and cardamom, giving a citrusy, green, watery freshness. In the heart, orange blossom, cedarwood and marine notes carry that freshness on. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli and tonka bean settles it into a sweet, woody and slightly powdery finish. It is meant as a men's fragrance. Its sillage is rated weak, so it suits those who want a light freshness kept close to the skin rather than a room-filling scent. Police To Be Blue Special Edition and Baldessarini Cool Force have a close profile.
