Fugue

8.0

Ikiryō · 2016

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Ikiryō Fugue is a unisex scent that leans towards autumn and winter evenings, setting a sweet, fruity side against resin and smoky wood; it has been discontinued. Fugue's longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Votes for masculine and feminine are split evenly, so it reads as open to both. Pineapple, blackcurrant and honeysuckle build a bright, sweet fruit-and-flower side. Rum and sugar beet deepen that sweetness, while benzoin and frankincense add resinous warmth. Castoreum leaves an animal trace, and Clearwood™ and ISO-E-Super give a woody, slightly synthetic base.

Clean Reserve Avant Garden - Nude Santal & Heliotrope

7.5

Clean · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Clean Reserve Avant Garden - Nude Santal & Heliotrope is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, citrusy opening with the creamy, sweet warmth of sandalwood. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin without filling the room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone, whatever the gender. The top notes are lemon and cinnamon: a bright citrus first, then a light touch of spice. In the heart, heliotrope and orange blossom push the scent in a floral, sweet direction. The base of sandalwood, Virginia cedar, Clearwood™ and Bourbon vanilla builds a woody, creamy foundation. Perfumer H Flower No.1 and Chloé Love Story Eau Sensuelle have a close profile.

Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. It reads equally well on anyone.

Veil / Nebula 3

7.9

Avant-Garden Lab · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small.

Lemon, lavender and ginger bring freshness and a light spice. Geranium, chamomile, iris and violet add a soft floral side, while patchouli and amber give a sweet, earthy depth. Metallic and mineral notes lend a cool, synthetic sheen. Armaf Dubai Nights Midnight and Philipp Plein No Limit$ Gold have a close profile.
