Floating Forest

6.7

Future Society · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Future Society Floating Forest is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent that opens on black pepper and bergamot and moves into a floral heart of freesia, rose absolute and water lily. Black pepper and bergamot give the opening a spicy freshness. In the heart, freesia, rose absolute and water lily read floral but watery. The base of cedarwood, stone, papyrus, salt, musk and driftwood settles it onto a dry, earthy, lightly salty ground, with green and creamy touches in between. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It leans neither masculine nor feminine. DKNY Cashmere & Wild Fig and Acqua di Baviera Lago have a close profile.

Stay

5.9

GAP · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

GAP Stay is a fresh, floral women's fragrance suited to daytime, leisure and the office; it has been discontinued. Voters pick it most often for daytime, leisure and business, and also find it fitting for sport. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. It reads as feminine. Fresh and citrus accords meet a floral, aquatic and slightly fruity character. It opens with green hydrangea, freesia and lemon blossom, then peony, lotus and bellflower take the heart. Musk, driftwood and amber soften the airy feel at the base.

Blue Horizon

6.9

CARE · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

CARE Blue Horizon is a unisex scent with a fresh, aquatic character, where fruity and floral touches soften the feel of a sea breeze. It opens with sea breeze, blackcurrant and pineapple, so coolness sits next to a light fruit sweetness. Toward the heart, lavender, heliotrope, cypress and ylang-ylang add a soft floral note. In the base, driftwood, white musk and moss hold it on a clean, calm footing. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters rate its value for money highly, though the number of votes is small. Reading neither masculine nor feminine, it shares a close profile with Chambre52 Orencie and Jil Sander Sun Bath.

Boronia

6.8

Grandiflora · 2017

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Grandiflora Boronia is a unisex scent that sets a floral, fruity side against a sweet, gourmand and resinous base. It opens with cognac, chamomile and labdanum, then moves into osmanthus, suede, boronia and black tea. In the base, tolu balm, caramel, driftwood and myrrh take over, so the floral part rests on a warm, woody and faintly leathery sweetness, with the spice staying in the background. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daytime and office wear, and less often in evenings or nights out, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. Created by Bertrand Duchaufour, it has a profile close to X-Ray Morphine and Etat Libre d'Orange Vraie Blonde.

Holy Hell

7.6

Universal Flowering · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Universal Flowering Holy Hell is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, floral character with fruity sweetness and a distinctly synthetic texture. It opens with melon and Moroccan neroli, so juicy fruit and a clean floral note sit side by side. In the heart, violet, choya nakh, suntan lotion and plastic bring a powdery, creamy and openly synthetic feel. The base of ambergris, driftwood and vetiver adds a woody, earthy and slightly spicy foundation. The result reads less like a classic floral and more like a modern, sun-warmed beach-bag scent.

Rock the Rainbow - Bye Bye Blues

7.9

Juicy Couture · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Juicy Couture Rock the Rainbow - Bye Bye Blues is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built around aquatic notes, lotus and lemon. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though with so few votes those figures are a rough guide at best. Released in 2018 and aimed at women, it has a light, easygoing character. The notes read as one whole: lemon and watery fruits keep it airy, while lotus, blue orchid and bluebell add a soft floral touch. Amber, musk and driftwood sweeten that freshness slightly and settle it on a creamy base.

Bath & Body Works · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

White nectarine, Italian mandarin orange and honey pomelo open fruity and bright. In the heart, night-blooming jasmine, pink peony and white gardenia add a soft floral note. The base of driftwood, white amber and cotton leaves a clean, lightly sweet finish. Carner Super Moon and Hanae Mori Eau de Collection No. 7 have a close profile.

Noir

4.9

Avon · 2007

Floral · Synthetic · Spicy

Avon Noir opens with a spicy pairing of ginger and saffron, moves into iris and cardamom, and settles on a woody base of vetiver and cedar, in a fragrance made for men.

Ginger and saffron give the opening a spicy warmth. In the heart, iris adds a soft floral touch and cardamom a spicy lift. The base of vetiver, cedar, driftwood and musk builds a woody, earthy foundation, with a faintly synthetic edge running through the accords.
