Eau de Parfum

Olivier Durbano Pink Quartz Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent where pink grapefruit, saffron and Damask rose bring citrus and floral accords onto a resinous, smoky base. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though both ratings rest on few votes. Voters pick it most for evening and leisure, with daily wear, a night out and business close behind. It reads equally well on anyone, unisex in character. The top opens with pink grapefruit, bergamot, ginger and saffron, while frankincense adds a resinous weight. In the heart, Damask rose and palmarosa form a floral backbone. The base of benzoin, myrrh and patchouli sweetens the scent and dries it down into an earthy, powdery, slightly smoky chypre. Zoologist Nightingale and Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme (Cologne Absolue) have a close profile.

Florascent · 2014

Floral · Green · Spicy

Florascent Edition de Parfum - Macabah is a unisex scent that pairs floral and spicy tones with a woody, resinous and slightly smoky character. Bergamot and geranium open fresh and green; in the heart, jasmine sambac and orange blossom meet cinnamon and ginger, joining floral warmth to spice.

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Black Red is a men's fragrance that sets the spicy opening of cardamom, pimento and ginger against a base of leather and gaiac wood.
