Lalique · 2019

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Lalique Les Compositions Parfumées - Infinite Shine is a floral, fruity women's fragrance that opens with raspberry, carrot and cardamom and moves into rose. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a noticeable but not heavy trail. Most voters place it in leisure, evening and daily wear, with night outings close behind. Raspberry, carrot and cardamom lead, the cardamom adding spice to the sweetness. Rose sits in the heart, while moss and patchouli settle it onto a woody, oriental base.

7.9

Huygens · 2017

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

#02

6.4

Jack&Jones · 2019

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Jack&Jones #02 is a fresh-leaning men's fragrance that sets a sweet, fruity body against spice and a woody warmth. The notes read as one whole: plum brings the fruity sweetness, cinnamon adds a spicy warmth, liquorice gives the sweetness a slightly darker edge, and woody notes hold it together. Fresh accents keep the spice and sugar from feeling heavy, while a creamy side softens the mix. There is also a synthetic touch in the accords, so the scent sounds deliberately composed rather than natural. Valentino Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Ruby and H.I.S Jeans No.1 Man have a close profile.
