Utopian

7.7

Social Creatures · 2007

Fresh · Floral · Green

Social Creatures Utopian opens with bergamot, lavender and myrtle and dries down to tonka bean, cognac and frankincense, a fresh, green-leaning unisex scent. Longevity is rated good and sillage weak, so it stays close and measured. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Bergamot, lavender and myrtle give the top a clean, green feel. Carnation and iris add a soft floral heart. In the base, tonka bean sweetens while cognac and frankincense bring a spicy, woody, slightly smoky trail.

Meftun

7.1

Régalien · 2021

Green · Fruity · Sweet

Régalien Meftun is a unisex fragrance built on cognac, rum and cinnamon, with a spicy, sweet character that leans warm. It opens with coriander, cognac, cinnamon and rum, a warm, boozy spice. In the heart, birch leaf, absinthe wormwood and ginger add a green, slightly bitter edge, while red berries soften it with a fruity sweetness. The base of frankincense, patchouli and sandalwood settles into woody, resinous and earthy ground. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Its warm, spicy build doesn't lean masculine or feminine, and suits either.

Radiant Echo

8.3

Zara · 2025

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Secret Dreams

8.1

Anna Zworykina

Spicy · Woody · Animal

Anna Zworykina Secret Dreams is a spicy, woody and animalic unisex scent led by oakmoss, juniper and cognac. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, and few choose summer.

Rook Perfumes Rook and Amouage Epic Man have a close profile. As a whole it is spicy and resinous: cinnamon, saffron, cardamom and black pepper draw a warm frame. Underneath, cedarwood, gaiac wood, patchouli and oud lay a woody, earthy base. Tobacco, castoreum and labdanum add a smoky, leathery weight, while rose and tuberose soften the edges a little.

Hip-Hop

8.2

Zernell Gillie · 2023

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Zernell Gillie Hip-Hop is a unisex scent built around cognac, saffron and cocoa, with fresh, green and gourmand sides running through it. Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm measure. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike. Cognac and saffron set a warm, spicy backbone; cocoa and dark chocolate sweeten it, and labdanum adds a resinous depth. Bergamot, green notes and blackcurrant freshen the blend, while ambroxan, hedione and white musk settle everything onto a soft, clean base. Frank Frank No. 2 and Giulietta Capuleti Ritorno Amaro have a close profile.
