Cloon Keen Atelier · 2018

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Cloon Keen Atelier Róisín Dubh is a floral, spicy unisex scent that ties damask rose and black pepper to the warmth of rum and tobacco. The top notes are rum absolute, osmanthus absolute and black pepper, so sweetness and spice arrive together. In the heart, damask rose and damask rose water carry the floral side. The base brings patchouli, tobacco absolute and cistus, while frankincense and Virginia cedar settle the scent onto a woody, smoky, leathery ground. A powdery softness runs through the blend. It reads as unisex rather than leaning to one side. Parfum d'Empire Cuir Ottoman and Papillon Artisan Perfumes Angélique have a close profile.

Sweet Sin

7.0

Vivamor Parfums · 2023

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Vivamor Parfums Sweet Sin is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent that carries peach and dried apricot into the warmth of rum absolute and Bourbon vanilla. It opens with peach and dried apricot, fruity and sweet. In the heart, rum absolute, Brazilian tonka bean and Indian benzoin soften that sweetness and add a resinous, spicy warmth. The base is led by white musk, ambergris, Indonesian patchouli and Bourbon vanilla; the patchouli's earthy, woody side keeps the sugar in check, and the dry-down settles into a creamy vanilla. It sits comfortably on both men and women, with a rich, filling character. That makes it better suited to cooler weather and evening wear.

Agua de Amor Amor

7.4

Cacharel · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Cacharel Agua de Amor Amor is a fresh, citrusy floral-fruity scent with a sweet, creamy side, made for women. Its strength sits in the middle: longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though with few votes that reading is tentative. It is presented as a feminine fragrance and has been discontinued. The top notes of jasmine and lily of the valley give a floral opening. Towards the heart, citrus fruits and blackcurrant turn that freshness fruity. In the base, rum absolute and coconut water leave a gourmand, creamy sweetness. Ulrich Lang Suncrest and Creed Virgin Island Water have a close profile.
