Bucolic

7.3

Pineward · 2024

Green · Sweet · Spicy

Pineward Bucolic is a sweet, green unisex scent that pairs honey, lanolin and sheep's wool absolute. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate; most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, with summer well behind. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top-to-base progression: honey, beeswax and brown sugar give it a sweet, creamy body, while sweetgrass and lavender add a green, earthy edge and raspberry a faint fruity touch. Lanolin and the wool absolute bring an animal warmth, and amber adds a soft resinous finish. M. Micallef Ma Nature and Or Liquide So Patchouli have a close profile.

Call Me

7.8

American Perfumer · 2023

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

American Perfumer Call Me is a unisex scent built around jasmine, sandalwood and benzoin, setting citrus and floral tones against a resinous, woody base. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters suggest fall and spring, with winter close behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, and a classic streak runs strong, so it sits between the two. Red mandarin orange, bergamot and petitgrain give a bright citrus, while jasmine, iris and sweet acacia add a floral, powdery layer. Benzoin, labdanum and beeswax sweeten it into resinous warmth. Patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood form a woody frame; musk and castoreum leave an animal trace, and lavender completes the chypre feel. Téo Cabanel Alahine and FOMO Gary's Den have a close profile.

Ensar Oud

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score the longevity high. It has been discontinued. It sits comfortably on men and women alike, and it is a heavy, full-bodied wear. The weight comes from a woody, smoky, leathery line led by Vietnamese oud and tobacco, rounded off by beeswax and Tonkin musk. Tuberose, narcissus and blue lotus give the floral side, while pink pepper and rosemary add a light touch of spice and green. Bourbon vanilla keeps the sweetness in check, and earthy and animal accords deepen the dark mood.

Sunflowers HoneyDaze

7.3

Elizabeth Arden · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers HoneyDaze is a fresh, citrusy floral for women, with a sweet, fruity and creamy softness that keeps it light.
