Rainy City

M.INT · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

M.INT Rainy City is a unisex scent that opens with bergamot, lemon and green tea and settles into vetiver and dry woods. The top notes of bergamot and lemon bring a fresh, citrusy brightness, softened by green tea. In the heart, black tea, gaiac wood and cedarwood push the scent towards a woody, lightly spicy character. The base of vetiver, musk and dry woods leaves an earthy, dry trail. Aquatic and synthetic tones keep the overall feel cool, while an animal touch stays in the background. Toni Gard True (Eau de Toilette) and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vétyver Haïti have a close profile.

Sara

7.0

Orientica · 2018

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Orientica Sara is a unisex perfume that sets a floral, fruity opening against a sweet, gourmand and oriental base. The top holds saffron, rose and grenadine, which read as a spiced, fruity floral. In the heart, dry woods, amber and jasmine turn it woody and warm. The base of brown sugar, musk and vanilla sweetens and softens the whole. Its sillage is rated moderate, though only a few people have voted, so that reading is tentative. The sweet, oriental character makes it a warm, rounded scent that suits anyone. Al Haramain Tanasuk (Perfume Oil) and Lattafa Ajwad have a close profile.

1872 Geranium

Clive Christian · 2018

Citrus · Green · Spicy

Clive Christian 1872 Geranium is a citrus and green men's fragrance built around petitgrain, geranium and grapefruit. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base: grapefruit and petitgrain give it a fresh, bitter-citrus lift, while geranium adds a green, lightly spicy edge. Cypress, vetiver and dry woods sit underneath as a dry, woody foundation. A powdery touch among the accords softens the sharpness and keeps the scent clean and tidy. Parfums de Marly Perseus and Prada Infusion de Gingembre have a close profile.

Auramber

8.0

Vertus

Spicy · Woody · Oriental

Vertus Auramber is a woody, resinous unisex scent built around amber, smoke and animalic notes, and it has been discontinued. The top opens with amber, animalic notes and smoke, then moves into dry woods and more amber in the heart. Patchouli, labdanum and amber form the base. The overall feel is spicy, oriental and earthy, with the smoky and animal sides giving it a dark, heavy character. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small. The structure suits both men and women. In profile it sits close to Al Haramain Oudh Patchouli and Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense.
