Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Eau de Parfum

Ariana Grande Glinda Bubbly Pink Eau de Parfum is a light, playful women's scent that pairs a fresh, fruity opening with a sweet, powdery base. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. The vote count is small, so treat this as a rough guide: it seems to stay close to the skin and carry comfortably through the day. The top holds pink pepper, pink apple and nectarine, while tulip and peony add a soft floral heart. The base brings sandalwood, blond woods, cedarwood, sugar and musk. Sugar adds the sweetness and the woods keep it powdery.

Vanille Blonde

7.6

Jehanne Rigaud

Green · Sweet · Gourmand

Jehanne Rigaud Vanille Blonde is a unisex gourmand that sets sweet Bourbon vanilla, benzoin and sugar against star anise; it has been discontinued. Bourbon vanilla and sugar give the scent a soft, sweet foundation, while benzoin fills it with a resinous warmth. Star anise adds a spicy, faintly green edge that pulls the sweetness back a step, and musk smooths everything into one piece. The overall impression is gourmand and oriental. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on skin for a long while without projecting far. As a unisex scent it sits comfortably on both men and women. The number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative. Paris Corner Eshal Vanilla and Jo Malone Vanilla & Anise have a close profile.

7.1

DSH Perfumes · 2019

Floral · Green · Sweet

DSH Perfumes Au Crépuscule de Lavande sets a floral, green lavender on a sweet, resinous base; it is made for women, though voters read its character as almost equally feminine and masculine. Voters place it mostly in leisure and evening wear, with daily, night-out and business use trailing behind. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. The top is French lavender, bergamot and blackberry, with immortelle and aldehydes adding a dry, bright edge. In the heart, Damask rose absolute, sweet violet and beeswax bring a soft floral note. The base of Tolu balm, vanilla absolute and tobacco absolute, joined by brown oakmoss, turns it sweeter, resinous and earthy.

Pistachio Dream (Eau de Parfum Oil)

7.4

Sand + Fog

Fresh · Sweet · Synthetic

Sand + Fog Pistachio Dream is a sweet, creamy, gourmand unisex scent built around pistachio, almond and vanilla. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. With few voters behind these ratings, treat them as a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes to point to. The top opens with almond, nuts and pistachio, giving a nutty, sweet first impression. In the heart, rum, marshmallow and sugar soften it and push it sweeter. The base settles into vanilla, cream and brown sugar. Powdery and creamy accords dominate, while the fresh and earthy sides stay in the background.

Shimmering Shanghai

7.7

Viage · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Viage Shimmering Shanghai is a unisex perfume that sets a fresh, floral character against a sweet, powdery and faintly smoky background. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, with longevity slightly ahead. These ratings come from only a small number of voters, so they are best read as a first impression rather than a firm measure. It does not lean towards either gender. The top opens with bergamot, lychee and ylang-ylang, while jasmine and rose build the floral side. In the heart, peony, vanilla and tonka bean soften the scent. The base brings frankincense, cedar and vetiver for a smoky depth, and sugar and musk settle the sweetness into something creamy.

Whispering Fire

7.1

Emil Élise · 2025

Sweet · Synthetic · Spicy

Emil Élise Whispering Fire is a unisex scent that pairs a sweet, spicy character with smoky, resinous woods. It opens with pepper, oud, myrrh and frankincense, which give a resinous, smoky first impression. In the heart, amber, nutmeg and clove add a warm, spicy layer. The base settles on cashmere wood, dry woods and moss for an earthy footing, while sugar softens the edges. A leathery tone runs through the accords, and a synthetic side may come through. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so treat that as a rough guide. The dense, warm build suits cooler weather more easily. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Jusbox Golden Serenade and Cerruti 1881 Signature have a close profile.

Black Mango

6.4

El Nabil

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

El Nabil Black Mango is a sweet, fruity unisex scent built on mango, rose and sugar, with oud and musk underneath; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer and spring close behind. Daily wear and leisure lead the occasions, followed closely by business and evening. Mango and sugar give it a gourmand, sweet character. Rose adds the floral side, while oud brings a woody, smoky edge; musk softens and holds them together. Spicy and oriental touches in the accords keep the fruit from reading light, giving it more depth.

Snake Oil

8.3

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab · 2004

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Frankie

6.2

Ariana Grande · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Its profile is close to Jennifer Lopez Glowing Goddess and Swiss Arabian Kenzy.

Nil Imperial

6.7

Imperial Parfums · 2022

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Imperial Parfums Nil Imperial is a floral, sweet unisex scent that leans gourmand, laying vanilla and sugar beneath a rose heart. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is not firm. It works for men and women alike. There is not enough voting to tie it to a particular season or occasion, so none is claimed here. Italian lemon petitgrain gives a bright opening, then the heart softens into Turkish rose absolute and sugar. In the base, vanilla, sugar and white musk take over, turning the scent sweeter and leaving a warm, creamy trail as it dries. Spicy, woody, oriental and animal tones sit quietly behind the floral and gourmand accords. For a close profile, see Dior Bois Talisman and Emir Vanilla and Roses.

Almond Tart

7.2

Theodoros Kalotinis · 2024

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

The soft, sweet profile suits cooler days as well as calm, everyday wear, and it reads neither masculine nor feminine. Shortcrust pastry, butter and sugar sit together, with vanilla and Balinese cocoa softening and deepening the sweetness while almond stays at the centre. Fruity and powdery accords add a light brightness and softness over the gourmand base. Sand + Fog White Vanilla and The Dua Brand Tart of Buttery Almonds have a close profile.

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Extrait de Parfum

Sorce In Dreams and Fairy Tales - Strawberry Rosewater Extrait de Parfum is a sweet, creamy, strawberry-led gourmand with a floral touch, made for anyone regardless of gender. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so those scores are only a rough guide. It wears soft and sugary, and reads as unisex.
