Bugia Bianca

Giulietta Capuleti · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Green

Giulietta Capuleti Bugia Bianca is a unisex scent that links a fresh, green and floral opening to a smoky, tobacco-tinged base. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Nothing about it reads strictly masculine or feminine, so it can sit on either. In the top, mandarin orange, bergamot and pink pepper give a lightly spicy freshness. The heart brings mint, vetiver, passion fruit and jasmine, adding green and fruity sweetness. In the base, tobacco, patchouli, cognac and brandy turn it earthy, smoky and warm. Nishane Hacivat X and Aigner First Class Explorer have a close profile.

Killer Oud

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Killer Oud Sun Rise is a men's fragrance that opens fresh and floral with immortelle, orange and lavender before sweetening on vanilla and tonka bean; it has been discontinued.

Amouage Sunshine Man and Acqua di Parma Zafferano share a close profile. The top carries immortelle, orange, lavender and brandy. In the heart, clary sage, juniper berry and bergamot keep that freshness going with a spicy edge. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and cedar settles it into something creamy, woody and sweet.

Raspberry Rose Rapture

7.9

Opus Oils · 2014

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Opus Oils Raspberry Rose Rapture is a sweet, fruity unisex scent that moves easily between seasons and suits leisure hours and evenings. Moroccan rose absolute and Bulgarian rose absolute make up the floral heart of the scent, while raspberry adds a sweet, fruity brightness to the rose. Chocolate and brandy pull it toward the gourmand side and bring a spicy warmth. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. All four seasons draw similar interest, with winter and fall slightly ahead. Most voters pick leisure and evening wear, and few choose it for the office. It leans neither masculine nor feminine.

XO Brandy

7.6

Navitus Parfums · 2021

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Navitus Parfums XO Brandy is a unisex gourmand that weighs floral and fruity sweetness down with spice, resin and wood. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes behind them, so that reading is tentative. The dense sweetness and resinous warmth lean it towards cooler weather, and as a unisex scent it reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine. It opens with davana, almond and date, sweet and fruity. In the heart, Virginia cedar, heliotrope, brandy and African coffee absolute come forward. As it dries, tolu balm, cane sugar, sandalwood and patchouli lay a woody, resinous, sweet base. Esteban Baume Tolu and Kemi Aurum have a close profile.

Ad Noctum

8.0

Ikiryō · 2018

Sweet · Synthetic · Spicy

Ikiryō Ad Noctum is a dark, woody men's fragrance with a sweet, resinous and smoky character; it has been discontinued. Amber, labdanum and fir balsam form a resinous base, which tonka bean and vanilla sweeten. Oud and ebony add an earthy, woody depth, while castoreum and musk bring an animal warmth. Brandy gives the sweetness a spicy, smoky edge. The overall impression is dense and heavy, with a synthetic sheen. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and every voter on longevity rates it high. The number of votes is small, so these ratings should be read with caution. It reads as masculine, and its heavy build suits cooler weather and evenings.

Marcello

8.5

Pryn Parfum · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Pryn Parfum Marcello is a unisex scent built around oakmoss, cognac, leather and cigar, with a sweet, woody, leathery character; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin for a long time rather than filling a room. With few votes behind these ratings, they give only a rough idea. It sits comfortably on both men and women. The notes read as a single whole: the warm sweetness of cognac and brandy, the gourmand side of dried fruits and dark chocolate, and beneath them the dry, leathery tone of oakmoss, leather and cigar. Frankincense adds resin, and bergamot brings a fresh contrast. Azman Killer Vavoom and Superdry Double Dry have a close profile.

Guido

5.8

Strangers Parfumerie · 2024

Floral · Fruity · Woody

Strangers Parfumerie Guido is a woody, creamy fragrance for men, built around cognac, oak wood and leather. The notes read as a single whole: cognac and brandy give a warm, boozy tone, which oak wood, mahogany and leather set into a woody frame. Cocoa, vanilla and tonka bean pull the scent towards the creamy, sweet side, while plum adds a soft fruity touch. Iris, rose and lavender form a floral layer, and tobacco, moss and vetiver carry a dry depth in the background. The sweet and woody sides weigh most. Tiziana Terenzi Borea and Tiziana Terenzi Tabit Attar have a close profile.

Dormir al Sol

6.8

Frassaï · 2024

Citrus · Green · Fruity

In the base, Bourbon vetiver, patchouli and saffron carry the scent into an earthy, spicy finish.

A Cardamom Affair

7.3

The Dua Brand · 2020

Sweet · Spicy · Oriental

The Dua Brand A Cardamom Affair is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance built around Indian cardamom, vanilla and sandalwood. Its sillage is rated good, and most voters score it high, though the vote count is small, so that leaning is tentative.
