Georges Rech

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Georges Rech Muse Blanche is a feminine scent in which citrus and flowers settle onto a powdery, creamy, slightly sweet base. It opens with bergamot, ylang-ylang and freesia, where the freshness of citrus meets a bright floral note. The heart is led by magnolia and woody notes, and the base of iris and vanilla closes the scent with a powdery, creamy sweetness. A synthetic edge also runs through the accords. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it neither lingers loudly nor fades quickly. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are a tendency rather than a firm verdict. Its soft, floral character reads as feminine. Perfumes with a close profile include Van Cleef & Arpels So First and Initio Lift Me Up.

Pheromone Undeniable

Afford

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Afford Pheromone Undeniable is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh, fruity brightness against a sweet, creamy and woody base. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it stays close without disappearing. Voters don't tie it to one setting: leisure, business, evening and nights out share almost equal weight, with daily wear and sport a little behind. Mandarin orange and bergamot give it a bright, fruity front, while magnolia and saffron add a soft floral and spicy touch. Sandalwood and ISO-E-Super frame it in wood, and pink and white musk carry the whole into a creamy, gentle sweetness. The overall feel is clean, smooth and distinctly synthetic.
