Eau de Parfum

J-Scent Hanamachi / 花街 Eau de Parfum opens with ylang-ylang, lemon and bergamot, then moves to a heart of iris, rose and violet: a fresh, floral unisex scent. Lemon and bergamot bring brightness at first, softened by ylang-ylang. In the heart, iris, rose, violet, jasmine and heliotrope form a powdery floral bouquet, while aquatic and fruity accents keep it light. The base of oud, peach, cherry leaf, musk and vanilla leaves an earthy, gently sweet finish. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative reading. Fresh yet powdery, it suits men and women alike. Biehl Parfumkunstwerke al01 and Roja Parfums Elixir Essence de Parfum (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Black Bottle

7.5

Leykarar

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative.

Viage · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Viage Shimmering Shanghai is a unisex perfume that sets a fresh, floral character against a sweet, powdery and faintly smoky background. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, with longevity slightly ahead. These ratings come from only a small number of voters, so they are best read as a first impression rather than a firm measure. It does not lean towards either gender. The top opens with bergamot, lychee and ylang-ylang, while jasmine and rose build the floral side. In the heart, peony, vanilla and tonka bean soften the scent. The base brings frankincense, cedar and vetiver for a smoky depth, and sugar and musk settle the sweetness into something creamy.

Aromas de Salazar · 2023

In the heart, jasmine sambac and pink pepper take over, and the base of Indian oud, clove and hiba wood pulls the scent towards woody, spicy and earthy ground. Animal and synthetic shades sit among the accords. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, and it was released in 2023 and has been discontinued.
