Balakirev

Elixir Attar · 2025

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Elixir Attar Balakirev opens fresh and settles into a rich floral, sweet and spicy character, made for anyone regardless of gender. The top pairs bergamot with oregano and pimento, so citrus brightness meets a sharp spicy edge. In the heart, gardenia, jasmine sambac, Taif rose and peach carry the floral and sweet side. The base of vanilla, sandalwood, oud and leather lays down a woody, creamy and leathery foundation, while orris root and Florentine iris add a powdery touch. The oriental character leads, though the fresh accord keeps it from turning heavy.

Byblos · 1997

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Eau de Toilette

Byblos Elementi di Byblos - Cielo Eau de Toilette is a floral, sweet scent warmed by spice and wood, with a soft gourmand side, made for women. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards evening and leisure wear, with daily use and nights out following. The sample is small, so treat this as a rough guide. It opens with mandarin orange and lily of the valley. Jasmine and gardenia form the floral heart, with pimento and nutmeg adding spice. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli, coconut and musk settles into a sweet, powdery, slightly smoky finish.

Megumi

7.1

Ayala Moriel · 2003

Floral · Green · Fruity

Ayala Moriel Megumi is a floral, green chypre for women, with fruity and spicy touches that soften its character. Its sillage is moderate, though with so few votes that should be read as a hint rather than a firm measure. It is classed as a women's fragrance. It opens with bergamot, red mandarin orange and apricot for a light fruity brightness. In the heart, pimento, May rose, Turkish rose otto and Jasminum grandiflorum build a floral body. The base of oud, vetiver and oakmoss leaves a woody, earthy, resinous ground. Penhaligon's Belgravia Chypre and Guerlain Mitsouko (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Terre de Perse

7.9

Chaugan

Synthetic · Spicy · Woody

Chaugan Terre de Perse is a warm, spicy and woody masculine fragrance. It opens with Sichuan pepper, lemon and pink pepper. In the heart, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom and pimento carry the spice, while magnolia and carnation soften it. The base of cedar, sandalwood, amber, benzoin and musk is woody and slightly sweet, smoothed further by tonka bean. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the vote count is small, so those ratings are still tentative. It reads masculine, and its spicy, woody build suits cooler days best. Parfums de La Bastide Ardent and Bershka Cardamom and Musk have a close profile.

Signature Royale XXX

7.6

Zaharoff · 2022

Masculine

Zaharoff Signature Royale XXX is a masculine fragrance for men that moves from an aromatic, spiced start into a deep, woody and balsamic base; it has been discontinued. The top is citrus notes, bergamot, lavender and Guatemala cardamom, a fresh and aromatic opening. In the heart, Himalayan juniper, Virginia cedar leaf and pimento make it drier and more spiced. The base rests on vetiver, Chinese oud, Australian sandalwood, Indonesian patchouli, cistus, benzoin and musk, giving it a warm, woody, slightly sweet finish.

Regal Silhouette

8.0

Perito Moreno · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Perito Moreno Regal Silhouette opens with lavender, orange and pink pepper, and settles into a spicy, woody, resinous unisex scent. The opening is fresh and citrusy, with lavender, orange and pink pepper, while neroli and jasmine sambac add a soft floral touch. In the heart, cinnamon, cardamom, clove and star anise bring the spice forward, and patchouli lays an earthy base underneath. The base turns sweet, creamy and resinous with sandalwood, tonka bean, oud and frankincense. Green and fresh facets sit alongside the spicy, oriental body, and the whole rests on a fougère structure that keeps it balanced.
