Douleur!2

6.7

Bogue · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Bogue Douleur!2 is a fresh, floral and slightly synthetic unisex scent that voters pair mostly with leisure time and nights out. Aquatic and metallic notes sit beside jasmine and rose, giving a cool, bright feel; mint candy and tea tree add a sweet, green edge. Oyster, civet and resins pull it towards an animalic, woody side. The notes aren't laid out in stages and are all smelled at once. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters suggest it for leisure and night outings, with evening following. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, so it doesn't lean clearly either way.

Velvet Vendetta

Sarah Baker Perfumes · 2025

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy
