Floral · Fruity · Spicy
House of Matriarch Two of Cups is a unisex floral oriental that sets ylang-ylang, jasmine absolute and neroli against a spicy, woody, resinous base.
The scent unfolds as one piece: ylang-ylang, jasmine and neroli build a floral, creamy core, while rose and spices add a fruity warmth. Cedar, Indian sandalwood and oud keep it woody and resinous, and tobacco, musk, costus and beeswax give it an animalic, faintly sweet depth.
Its sillage is rated as good, though the small number of votes makes that a thin sample. The dense floral side and pronounced oriental character let it sit comfortably on both men and women. Widian Sahara and Sedra Blanco have a close profile.
