Cologne Absolute

7.6

Tom Daxon · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Tom Daxon Cologne Absolute is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent led by bergamot, petitgrain and neroli. It wears moderately long but with weak sillage, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. The number of ratings is small, so treat these impressions as tentative. The top holds bergamot, petitgrain, neroli, lemon, violet leaf and tarragon, giving a lemony, green freshness. In the heart, jasmine, Givescone® and lily of the valley add a soft floral touch, and cypriol and patchouli lay a woody base. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Al Haramain Neroli Canvas have a close profile.

Fuoco

7.4

Jijide · 2024

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Jijide Fuoco is a unisex fragrance with a sweet, spicy and smoky character, its woody and earthy side giving it a warm, dense feel. Roasted chestnut and cigarette smoke come first. The heart brings together hay, saffron, vanilla, tobacco and clove; vanilla adds a creamy sweetness while the spices and smoke stay present. In the base, vetiver, musk, cedarwood and cypriol settle the scent onto a woody, earthy footing. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage very strong, so a single application lasts long and is noticed from a distance, though the vote count is small and the impression is tentative. Being unisex, it doesn't lean to one gender. Emirates Pride Al Emarat and Maison Alhambra Hercules have a close profile.

Constellation Diamond

Thameen · 2026

Floral · Fruity · Spicy

Thameen Constellation Diamond is a unisex scent that opens with saffron, raspberry and pink pepper and moves into a floral heart of rose and violet.

It settles into a creamy, resinous and slightly smoky warmth built on amber, vanilla, roasted tonka bean and cypriol. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though only a few people have voted so far. It sits comfortably on men and women alike. Arabiyat Lamsat Harir and Maison Alhambra Avant Silk have a close note and accord profile.

VAR

8.2

Mallo · 2025

Fresh · Green · Woody

Mallo VAR is a fresh, green unisex fragrance built around Indian, wild and Haitian vetiver, with cypriol and Spanish pine alongside; it has been discontinued.

With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that it reads as unisex. As a whole the scent leans on the woody, earthy side of vetiver. Pine and Himalayan fir keep it fresh and green, while grass lightens the air. Nepalese sichuan pepper adds a slight sharpness, and Laotian oud and Mysore sandalwood soften the woods over a powdery, fougère base. Anatole Lebreton Racine Carrée and Contes de Parfums Bilbao have a close profile.

The Man of Sport

5.8

Otto Kern · 2019

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Otto Kern The Man of Sport is a fresh, spicy men's fragrance that opens with black pepper, aquatic notes and ginger, then moves into lavender and patchouli.

It begins with the heat of black pepper and ginger cooled by aquatic notes. In the heart, lavender, violet and clary sage add a soft floral touch. The base rests on patchouli, sandalwood and cypriol for a woody footing, and the overall impression is fresh, lightly sweet and a little synthetic.

7.6

Scentologia · 2021

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong, so it stays on the skin for a long time and carries well around you. It suits those who want a fragrance that makes its presence known more than a light everyday scent. With few ratings so far, this is a first impression rather than a settled verdict. The opening keeps citrus bright through bergamot and grapefruit, while saffron adds a spicy warmth. In the heart, Atlas cedar, rose and cashmere wood strike a woody-floral balance. The dry-down brings vetiver, leather and cypriol forward, settling into a resinous, leathery, earthy base softened by a creamy note.

Floral · Fruity · Sweet
