Bruise Violet (Perfume Oil)

Sixteen92 · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Perfume Oil

Sixteen92 Bruise Violet is a perfume oil with a floral, powdery character that sits between fresh and sweet, worn by anyone as a unisex scent. White iris, Damask rose and Bulgarian rose lead the scent, while violet leaf and red grapefruit zest add a cool, slightly green freshness to the floral core. Powder and lipstick notes soften it into a creamy, cosmetic feel, and a faint spicy touch keeps the sweetness in check. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means these figures are tentative. It suits those who enjoy powdery florals. Thameen The Cora (Extrait de Parfum) and Bvlgari Le Gemme - Calaluna share a close profile.

Fleur de Lune

7.1

Strangers Parfumerie · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Green

Strangers Parfumerie Fleur de Lune is a fresh, floral and softly powdery unisex scent, rounded out by green and fruity touches. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin and is noticed without announcing itself. These ratings rest on a small number of votes. It has been discontinued. The notes read as one whole rather than in stages: white rose, tuberose, magnolia, gardenia and orange blossom build the floral bouquet. Peach blossom adds a fruity softness, while cotton and vanilla bring a sweet, powdery warmth. Elie Saab Le Parfum L'Eau Couture and Chloé Roses de Chloé have a close profile.

Nubio

7.6

Casa del Perfume Canario · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Casa del Perfume Canario Nubio is a fresh, citrus-led unisex scent that opens on mandarin orange, bergamot and lime and softens into jasmine, white iris and cedarwood. Nubio opens with citrus: mandarin orange, bergamot and lime come first. In the heart, lemon, white iris and jasmine pull the freshness towards a floral, powdery side. The base of cedarwood, eucalyptus and sandalwood sets it on a woody, creamy footing, while the sweet and spicy touches stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither stays too close nor fills a room, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. It reads comfortably on both men and women, and its fresh character suits everyday wear. Mazzolari Hartley and Floris Cefiro (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Beautiful Love

7.1

Estēe Lauder · 2007

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Estēe Lauder Beautiful Love is a fresh, floral women's fragrance that opens on mango, pomelo zest and cantaloupe and moves into a heart of jasmine and rose. The top pairs fruit with magnolia, and tagetes adds a green edge. In the heart, jasmine, rose, osmanthus and tuberose build a floral garden feel, while black violet pulls it towards powdery. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood and white moss softens everything, leaving a sweet, lightly spicy trail. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable up close without filling a room. The aquatic and fresh accords give it an easy, everyday character. Laura Biagiotti Laura (Eau de Parfum) and Calvin Klein Escape (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

7.2

Givenchy · 2016

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Givenchy Iris Harmonique is a unisex scent built around white iris, amber and oud, pairing a floral, woody character with a sweet warmth; it has been discontinued.

It reads balanced between masculine and feminine, and wears comfortably on anyone.

Skin Petals

6.5

Illuminum · 2011

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

In the base, white amber and musk hold those flowers on a soft, creamy footing. The sweetness never turns heavy and stays in the background beside the fresh accord, so the scent reads clean and close to the skin. Marc Gebauer Purple Flamingo and Marc Gebauer Amorist have a similar note and accord profile.

Veguetia

7.5

Casa del Perfume Canario · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Casa del Perfume Canario Veguetia is a fresh, citrusy fragrance for women, softened by a powdery, creamy floral sweetness. Its longevity is rated as moderate, though with only a few votes this is a first impression at best. There isn't enough voting to point to a season or occasion, but the fresh, fruity character sits close to everyday wear. The top opens with mango, green tea and bergamot, fruity and bright. In the heart, geranium, white iris and pink pepper add a powdery floral touch. The base of musk, benzoin and sandalwood sweetens the scent and closes it on a creamy warmth.

Attenya

6.7

Casa del Perfume Canario

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Casa del Perfume Canario Attenya is a fresh, floral unisex perfume, softened by fruity and sweet sides. The scent sits firmly in a floral frame: magnolia, white iris and linden blossom lead, while mandarin orange and medlar add a fruity lift. Benzoin and dark chocolate deepen the sweetness, and vetiver with white moss sets it on a dry, clean ground. A synthetic touch among the accords makes it read as a smooth, glossy floral rather than a natural bouquet. Its profile is close to Juliette Has A Gun Magnolia Bliss and Jil Sander Style Soft.
