Power Ballad

Room 1015 · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Room 1015 Power Ballad is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent with a green, spicy and lightly sweet character, and it has been discontinued. It opens with lime, bergamot and grapefruit for a sharp brightness, and mint cools it further. In the heart, rum, juniper, cumin, coriander and aniseed bring the spice forward and add a faintly sweet warmth. The base settles into a woody, resinous footing of poplar bud, labdanum, cedar and vetiver. A synthetic accord runs through it, so the scent feels bright and polished rather than natural. The dry cedar and vetiver balance the fresh citrus against the sweeter spice.

N•O•A•M · 2026

Floral · Green · Spicy

N•O•A•M Millefleurs 2025 is a floral, green and woody unisex fragrance built around Papua oud, mint and citrus zest; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a whole rather than in stages.

Alexandria Fragrances

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Rosemary and aniseed add a spicy, faintly herbal edge, and blueberry softens the gourmand side with a touch of fruit. Floral notes and musk stay in the background and smooth everything out. The accords also lean oriental, resinous and smoky. MAD Parfumeur Deserto and Arabian Oud Kalemat have a close profile.

Maison Margiela · 2026

Green · Sweet · Gourmand

The smoky accord stays in the background, holding the blend somewhere between cool and warm. It reads as one piece, with the notes leaning on each other rather than standing out one by one. Erik Kormann November and Ormaie Toï Toï Toï (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

8.7

Casa del Perfume Canario · 2019

Sweet · Spicy · Oriental

Casa del Perfume Canario Thenesor is an oriental men's fragrance that pairs a sweet, spicy character with a smoky, leathery base.
