Sigil

Alkemia · 2019

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Alkemia Sigil is a smoky, resinous unisex scent built around coffee bean, black honey and Indian myrrh. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, though the ratings come from few votes and should be read loosely. No clear season or occasion stands out, and it reads equally well on anyone. The scent comes across as a single whole: coffee bean and black honey give a sweet darkness, while frankincense, styrax and oud settle it onto a woody, smoky base. Dried citrus fruits and herbs carry the fresh and green touches, and opium and euphorbia add a spicy, slightly enigmatic depth. Making Of Rocher Princier and Parfumeurs du Monde Petite Fumée have a close profile.

Killer Instinct

8.6

The Dua Brand · 2021

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

The Dua Brand Killer Instinct is a sweet, gourmand and fruity men's fragrance built around coffee bean, vanilla and spices. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though with few votes these ratings are only a rough guide. It is a men's fragrance, and its dense, rich character suits cooler weather best. Coffee bean and vanilla form a sweet, creamy base. Spices and fruits add liveliness, while bergamot lightens the whole. Amber, patchouli and musk bring a warm, resinous depth, and cedarwood adds a woody frame. Widian Yasat and Morph Cruda have a close profile.

Gold Thai Oud

7.9

Katana

Fresh · Floral · Green

Katana Gold Thai Oud is a unisex fragrance that sets Thai oud beside amber and vetiver. Bergamot, citrus notes and mint give it a fresh, green lift, while rose and champaca add a soft floral side. Coffee bean and amber carry the sweet, resinous part, and Thai oud with vetiver brings a woody, spicy and slightly animal depth. The notes don't split into stages; the scent moves as one balanced whole between fresh and warm. It shares a close profile with Balenciaga Florabotanica and Olfactive Pharmacy Thymus.

Imagine for Him

6.1

Esprit · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Synthetic

Esprit Imagine for Him is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance that opens with coffee bean, bitter orange and lemon; it has been discontinued. Coffee bean, bitter orange and lemon give it a sharp, lively start. The heart of geranium, violet and carrot seed brings a powdery, lightly spicy softness, and lily, vetiver and sandalwood settle into a woody base. Synthetic and oriental touches run through the accords. Longevity is rated moderate, though only a small number of votes stand behind that. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Zara 4MBR0X1D3 / AMBR0X1D3 and Sisley L'Eau Rêvée d'Ikar have a close profile.

Dagger Moon

6.7

Lvnea

Green · Gourmand · Spicy

Lvnea Dagger Moon is a green, earthy unisex scent built around coffee bean, juniper berry and Palo Santo. Longevity is rated moderate, though with few votes that reads as a tendency rather than a firm verdict. There is no input on sillage, season or occasion. With its woody, resinous character it can sit on either men or women. The gourmand warmth of coffee bean meets the dry, green tone of juniper berry. Palo Santo and tree moss lay down a woody, resinous base, while mitti attar adds the feel of earth after rain. Nutmeg brings spice and vetiver a dry, earthy depth. Neotantric Dirty Money and Olo Forêt have a close profile.

Nameless

6.7

Mark Buxton Perfumes · 2008

Fresh · Aquatic · Sweet

Mark Buxton Perfumes Nameless is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, aquatic start with a spicy, sweet and woody body; it has been discontinued. Lavender, mandarin orange and neroli open on a bright note, with cardamom adding a light touch of spice. In the heart, coffee bean, jasmine and cinnamon turn it sweeter and warmer. The base of patchouli, cedar and ambergris settles into a woody, resinous ground, and cistus and precious woods lean it toward the oriental. Most voters pick Nameless for business, daily wear and leisure, with night out and evening named less often. It reads as a masculine scent for daytime rather than a showy evening one. Ambre Noir by Yves Rocher and Amouage Enclave have a close profile.

Oudy Gluttony

7.8

OM Parfum · 2024

Floral · Green · Sweet

OM Parfum Oudy Gluttony is a unisex scent that opens with Jamaican pepper and cinnamon and settles on oud, cocoa absolute and caramel, joining a sweet side to a woody one; it has been discontinued. The top is Jamaican pepper, cinnamon and orange lemonade, so spice and freshness arrive together. The heart brings coffee bean, maple syrup, nutmeg and pumpkin for a gourmand warmth, with jasmine and lilac adding a floral touch and fir a green one. In the base, oud, red myrrh, cocoa absolute, caramel, cream and cedar lead, while patchouli and vetiver add an earthy depth. The overall impression is sweet, creamy, spicy and slightly smoky. OM Parfum Gluttony and American Perfumer Black Walnut have a close profile.

Cochise

8.0

Havenhollow · 2023

Spicy · Woody · Animal

Havenhollow Cochise is a unisex scent that pairs resinous, smoky woods with a leathery, slightly animalic base; it has been discontinued. Pine forms the backbone: Calabrian pine, ponderosa pine resin and pinyon pine resin absolute sit side by side. Juniper and Pacific red cedar complete the woody frame, while leather and pine tar cast a dark, smoky shadow. Coffee bean, vanilla and beeswax soften that dryness a little. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the small number of votes means those ratings should be read with caution. The spicy, smoky, leathery build reads neither masculine nor feminine. Tauerville Incense Flash and Pana Dora Swedish Leather have a close profile.

Boudoir Renaissance 223

7.8

Krigler · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Krigler Boudoir Renaissance 223 is a smoky, woody unisex scent that ties the warmth of coffee and black tea to rose and fruity notes. Coffee bean and black tea come forward, while rose, raspberry and blackcurrant add a sweet, fruity softness to that dark base. Cedar, Tuscan cypress and oud keep the scent woody and dry, and tobacco, labdanum and patchouli give it a smoky, leathery depth, with malt making the sweetness a little heavier. A fresh edge runs through the accords, so it never turns wholly heavy or sugary. The Dua Brand Chamber of Grace 223 and Jeroboam Vespero have a close profile.

Perfect Day

6.8

Tom Tailor · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Tom Tailor Perfect Day is a women's fragrance that opens with cherry blossom, Williams pear and coffee bean, with a floral, fruity character that leans sweet. The top notes pair cherry blossom and Williams pear for a fresh, juicy start, while coffee bean adds a slightly darker touch. In the heart, praliné, jasmine and patchouli take over: praliné brings sweetness, jasmine the floral side, and patchouli a spicy undertone. The base of musk, vanilla and crystal amber settles into a creamy, soft finish. Its profile is close to Le Parfum Citoyen La Working Girl 2.0 and Wolfgang Joop My Looks Woman 2020.
