Fresh · Citrus · Green

Eau de Toilette

Jo Loves... Red Truffle 21 Eau de Toilette is a unisex scent where fig, juniper and patchouli meet, leaning fresh and green. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of voters is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It is unisex and sits comfortably on either a masculine or a feminine wearer. It opens with fig leaf, mandarin orange and bergamot, a citrusy, green freshness lifted by a little black pepper. In the heart, juniper, fig and pine needle come forward. In the dry-down, patchouli, truffle and vetiver settle it onto a woody, creamy base.

Voluptuous Seduction

6.5

State of Mind · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

State of Mind Voluptuous Seduction is a unisex fragrance that pairs a fresh, floral character with fruity sweetness and a woody base. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and less towards winter or nights out. It opens with apple, rooibos tea and white lily, a fresh and lightly fruity start. In the heart, eglantine rose, rose and truffle deepen the floral side. Cedarwood and sandalwood settle it onto a woody, creamy base.

Altair

6.8

Spirit of Kings · 2019

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Spirit of Kings Altair is a unisex fragrance that pairs a floral, fruity character with a sweet, gourmand and spicy base. Voters rate Altair's longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that view is still tentative. It carries no gender lean and is made for men and women alike. The top opens with bright bergamot, lemon and orange, while truffle and blackcurrant add an earthy, fruity edge. At the heart, lotus, jasmine, ylang-ylang and gardenia form the floral core, warmed slightly by spices and fruity notes. The base of vanilla, amber, musk and vetiver settles into a sweet, oriental and earthy finish. Joop! Nuit d'été and The Dua Brand Celestial Flower have a close profile.

Dirty Banana

7.9

The Dua Brand · 2022

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

The Dua Brand Dirty Banana is a unisex gourmand that pairs banana, peach and milk in a sweet, creamy, fruity scent; it has been discontinued. Banana and peach sit at the centre, while milk and tolu balm settle that fruity sweetness onto a soft, creamy base. Amber and frankincense add a warm, spicy depth, and banana flower and truffle keep it from reading as plain candy, giving it a slightly odd, dense edge. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so treat that with caution. It suits anyone who likes gourmand scents, regardless of gender. Perfumes with a close profile include The Dua Brand Banana Cream Pie Cocktail and Jousset Parfums Banana Split.

L.I.L.Y. Absolute

7.1

Stella McCartney · 2013

Fresh · Floral · Green

Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y. Absolute is a fresh, green floral for women, powdery and lightly sweet with a fruity edge; it has been discontinued. It opens with black pepper and truffle, a dry, faintly earthy start. At the heart, pink pepper, ambrette seed and lily of the valley bring the floral side forward, clean and powdery. The base of patchouli, oakmoss, amber and blond woods settles it onto a green, soft ground, with the sweetness staying in the background. Guerlain Idylle (Eau de Parfum) and Chloé Roses de Chloé have a close profile.

Terra 21

8.0

Aimée de Mars · 2021

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Aimée de Mars Terra 21 is a unisex scent that softens an earthy, resinous character with sweet floral touches. The scent reads as a whole: cistus, oud and patchouli lay an earthy, resinous base, while cedar and vetiver add a dry woody edge. Ginger and pepper bring spicy warmth, vanilla lifts the sweetness, and honeysuckle adds a soft floral note. Truffle and elemi resin deepen it further. Its oriental, woody build suits men and women alike. Its profile sits close to Jesus del Pozo Arabian Nights (Eau de Parfum) and La Maison de la Vanille Royal Oud.

Oriental Orchid

7.4

Rirana

Floral · Oriental · Smoky

Rirana Oriental Orchid is a unisex scent that pairs a floral, oriental character with a smoky edge. Orchid and white blossoms form the floral side, while patchouli and frankincense give it a smoky, resinous depth. Truffle adds an earthy, slightly sharp touch, and chocolate softens and sweetens the whole. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one blended impression. Haus of Gloi Cozy Rose and Swiss Arabian Secret Frankincense have a close profile.

Parfum de Făt Frumos

7.5

Createur 5 d'Emotions · 2018

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Createur 5 d'Emotions Parfum de Făt Frumos is a unisex scent that sets sweetness against earthiness: a fruity, floral surface over a spicy, smoky and leathery undertone. The top opens with cinnamon, cardamom and truffle; the spice comes first, and the truffle adds an earthy weight. In the heart, labdanum, strawberry and orchid appear; the strawberry sweetens the scent while the orchid brings the floral side. The base of ambergris, leather and patchouli sets a woody, animal ground. The result is a warm, smoky fragrance where sweet notes and dark ones balance each other.
