V Canto · 2024

Floral · Green · Fruity

8.9

GRG · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so it is a perfume that announces itself and stays on skin for hours. It suits both men and women, and its dense character fits cooler weather and evenings best. The notes read as one whole: Italian cep absolute and Virginia tobacco absolute lay an earthy, smoky base. Liquorice and rum add sweetness, while pepper and orange bring spice and a little brightness. Chinese oud, sandalwood, frankincense and patchouli round out the woody, resinous depth, and Azerbaijani damask rose otto adds a soft floral note.

Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur No. 2 Pure Attar is a unisex scent led by amber, sandalwood and saffron, deepened by several kinds of oud.

Amouage Overture 41 and Eutopie No. 10 have a close profile.

The base rests on Lebanon cedar, myrrh and musk for a woody, creamy floor, and Turkish caramel and pineapple keep the sweetness going. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads equally well on men and women, and its sweet, fresh character suits everyday wear. Xerjoff Pikovaya Dama and Tiziana Terenzi Leo have a close profile.

Luwak Touch

8.2

Bahfamsn Fragrance · 2022

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Bahfamsn Fragrance Luwak Touch is a sweet, smoky unisex scent that pairs Brazilian, Sumatran and El Salvadorian robusta coffee with oud and patchouli; it has been discontinued. The three robusta coffees lead and set the gourmand sweetness. Oud and both Indonesian and Indian patchouli add an earthy, smoky depth alongside them. Amber brings a resinous warmth, while sawdust and amyris keep the woody side dry and soft. A spicy edge stops the sweetness from turning heavy. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so everything is present together from the start. Its profile is close to Kilian Straight to Heaven Extreme and Cartier Oud & Ambre.

Intimacy

8.3

The Dua Brand

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Amber, labdanum and Bourbon vanilla form a soft base, while cinnamon, ginger and Indian spices add a warm spiciness on top of it. Sandalwood and patchouli give a woody depth, and mandarin orange brings a fruity brightness. Whisky and tobacco deepen the darker side of the scent.
