Eau de Toilette

Baldessarini Private Affairs Eau de Toilette is a men's fragrance that moves from a fresh, spicy opening of nutmeg, juniper and bergamot through lavender and geranium to a woody, leathery base; it has been discontinued. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter for it, with summer getting a smaller share. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, with some votes for nights out and the office. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most voters read it as masculine. It opens with citrusy bergamot alongside spicy nutmeg and juniper. Lavender and geranium soften the heart, and the base of walnut, cedar, leather and sandalwood settles into a woody, earthy, slightly sweet ground. The overall impression is fresh, with a synthetic edge.

The Dua Brand

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The Dua Brand Pour Homme is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance of fougère character, set on a woody, leathery and spicy base. Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, and most voters score the longevity high, though the number of votes is small, so that impression should be read with caution. It is presented as a fragrance for men. Citrus notes, artemisia and lavender give it a green, bright feel. Beneath them, sandalwood, gaiac wood and leather build a woody body, with amber and walnut adding sweetness and pepper adding spice. Powdery and floral touches soften the edges.

Very Irrésistible Givenchy for Men Summer

Givenchy · 2006

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Givenchy Very Irrésistible Givenchy for Men Summer is a fresh, citrusy men's scent built on grapefruit and mint; it has been discontinued. Longevity is weak and sillage moderate, so it stays close without leaving much of a trail. As the name suggests, it suits warm days and reads masculine. Grapefruit and mint give it a lively, cool feel. Sesame and walnut soften that freshness with a light sweetness, while Virginia cedar adds a quiet dry woodiness. Fresh and citrus accords lead, with floral, green and fruity sides and a spicy touch. Perfumes with a close profile include The Merchant Of Venice Pink Grapefruit and Molinard Thé Basilic.
