704 - Incense & Musk

N.C.P.

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

N.C.P. 704 - Incense & Musk is a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex scent that leans towards evenings and relaxed days. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters pick it most for leisure and evening, with a night out and the workday following behind. It reads equally at home on men and women. The top opens with spices and leather, a warm and leathery first impression. Frankincense and musk form the heart, giving the resinous, smoky side. Oriental notes in the base carry the sweetness and woody warmth through. Chopard Black Incense Malaki and Montale Oud Edition have a close profile.

Langobardi

7.1

Victoria · 2023

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Victoria Langobardi is a sweet, woody unisex fragrance built around patchouli, sandalwood and iris. Its longevity is rated good, though only a few voters have weighed in, so take that as a first impression. There isn't enough input to say which season or occasion suits it. It opens with cedarwood, juniper berry and bergamot in a fresh, woody start. In the heart, patchouli, sandalwood and iris bring a powdery, resinous softness. The base sweetens with benzoin, vanilla and amber, while leather adds a dry edge to the spicy tones. Sweet, spicy and woody accords lead. Téo Cabanel Alahine and Fragonard Rêve Indien have a close profile.

Arabian Oud

Woody · Oriental · Animal

Arabian Oud Special Oud is a woody, resinous and smoky fragrance made for men. Spikenard, nagarmotha, geranium and oud lead the top, joined by oriental and floral notes. In the heart, jasmine and rose add a soft floral touch, yet amber, sandalwood and patchouli keep the scent mostly woody and earthy. The base settles into amber, woody and musky notes, while the animal and resinous accords give it a dark, dense feel. Al Rehab Arooq Al Oud and Dior Oud Ispahan have a close profile.

Sumatra Rain Woman

7.5

Mülhens · 1999

Fresh · Floral · Green

Mülhens Sumatra Rain Woman is a fresh, floral women's fragrance softened by green and fruity tones; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a whole rather than in stages: fruity notes and fresh notes lead, while oriental notes sit behind them and add a little warmth. The accords trace a fresh, floral line with green and fruity touches. The result is light rather than heavy, airy and mildly sweet. Mäurer & Wirtz Eruption Woman and Stendhal Rouge Divin have a close profile.

UTC - Chacal

7.8

Milton-Lloyd

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Milton-Lloyd UTC - Chacal is a feminine scent that pairs a floral, fruity face with a sweet, gourmand and spicy warmth. It opens with fruity and floral notes. Spicy notes and a chypre accord sit in the heart, while oriental and woody notes soften and deepen the base. The overall feel is sweet and gourmand, with a synthetic sheen running through it. Both longevity and sillage are rated strong, though the small number of votes makes that a rough guide. Its oriental, spicy build suits those who like a warm, full scent. Geoffrey Beene Chance (Eau de Toilette) and Afnan Perfumes Inara (White) have a close profile.

Violet Collection - V 05

8.6

Taif Al-Emarat

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Taif Al-Emarat Violet Collection - V 05 is a fresh, floral men's fragrance built around sandalwood and pink pepper, wrapped in patchouli and musk. The top holds only oriental notes, the heart sandalwood and pink pepper, and the base patchouli and musk. The accords open fresh, citrusy and green-floral, then move into a sweet, spicy and woody body. Oriental, creamy, animal and earthy shades sit in the background and add depth. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage strong, though the number of votes is small. There are no season or occasion votes, so nothing can be said about those. It is positioned as a men's fragrance, balancing freshness against an oriental warmth.
