Belle de Jour

7.2

Eris Parfums · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Eris Parfums Belle de Jour is a fresh, floral unisex scent, light through its aquatic and green side, with spice and wood giving it some depth. The top notes are Tunisian orange blossom, Madagascan pink pepper and Moroccan coriander, so the floral freshness opens with a little spice. In the heart, Egyptian jasmine, Indian pimento and Spanish cistus come forward. Musk and Atlas cedar in the base settle it onto a powdery, creamy, woody footing. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure and business are the occasions named most often. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin. Voters read it as more feminine than masculine, though it works as a unisex scent too. Its profile is close to Floraïku My Shadow on the Wall and Celine Rimbaud.

Safran Royal

8.1

Versace · 2021

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Versace Safran Royal is a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex scent built around saffron, leather and amber, and it suits fall and winter evenings best. The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base: saffron's warm spice meets leather and amber, while Spanish cistus adds a resinous weight. Indonesian patchouli and nagarmotha lay a woody floor, and Moroccan wormwood tempers the sweetness with a dry bitterness. The overall impression is oriental, leathery and smoky. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening or night out over daytime; summer gets few votes. It leans masculine, though as a unisex scent it works on women too. Lattafa Qaa'ed and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud have a close profile.

A faint aquatic coolness runs across all of it. Longevity and projection are moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, with winter getting fewer votes. It leans towards daily and leisure wear, and some voters also wear it to the office. It suits anyone who wants a light scent without a gender slant.
