Treachery

8.0

Maher Olfactive · 2020

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Maher Olfactive Treachery is a sweet, spicy and gourmand unisex scent led by saffron, cocoa and vanilla absolute. Saffron and spices give it a warm, oriental base, while cocoa and vanilla absolute turn that into a creamy, gourmand sweetness. Almond and berries add a soft fruity edge, and pipe tobacco with whisky brings a darker, smoky, leathery depth. Davana nudges the sweetness toward the floral and powdery side. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, and most voters give longevity a high mark, though the number of votes is small, so take this as a rough guide. It suits anyone who wants a dense, sweet scent regardless of gender. Maher Olfactive Treachery Barrel Aged and Parfums de Marly Carlisle have a close profile.

Animalia

8.7

ATon · 2024

Floral · Spicy · Woody

ATon Animalia is a woody, spicy unisex scent built around cedar, patchouli and animalic notes; it has been discontinued. The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one whole.

Moss and vetiver carry the chypre side, bergamot and green apple stay in the background, and champaca lends a soft floral touch. Voters rate its longevity as very strong and its sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small. It suits those who want a dense, characterful fragrance. Its profile is close to Zoologist Tyrannosaurus Rex and Kilian Dark Lord - Ex Tenebris Lux.

Esteban · 2007

Citrus · Floral · Green

Esteban Classic Chypre is a unisex chypre that opens with bergamot and basil and settles into oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli. The perfume has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though these ratings rest on only a handful of votes and are not conclusive.

In the heart, jasmine and rose add a floral softness while spices bring warmth. The base of vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss is woody and animalic, with vanilla sweetening it and adding a powdery tone.

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

OM Parfum Greed is a unisex scent that turns a floral, fruity sweetness dark with spices, oud and animalic notes; it has been discontinued.

Florilegium

Extra Virgo · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Extra Virgo Florilegium is a unisex fragrance with a floral, sweet core, spiced by resin and smoke and warmed by an animalic edge.

Spices, rum and Chinese oud pull that sweetness towards a woody, smoky depth, and civet with propolis absolute leaves an animalic, resinous trace. It reads as one dense blend rather than separate layers.
