Milieu Rosa

Odin New York · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Odin New York Milieu Rosa is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built around blackcurrant, raspberry and Moroccan rose, and it sits closest to everyday wear. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have rated either. Voters pick it mostly for daytime, leisure and business settings, with evening and night out further behind. It is described as a women's fragrance. The top carries blackcurrant, raspberry, Moroccan rose and mimosa, giving a citrusy, fruity and green freshness. In the heart, jasmine, geranium and May rose widen the floral side. The base of Turkish rose otto, vetiver and amberwood settles it onto a powdery ground. Tommy Girl Brights and Avon 015 have a close profile.

Wildbloom

7.3

Banana Republic · 2011

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Banana Republic Wildbloom is a fresh, fruity floral for women that settles into a woody, powdery base; it has been discontinued. Its strength and longevity are rated moderate, though the ratings come from few votes, so treat them as a rough guide. With no season or occasion votes, it can't be tied to a particular time of year; its feminine profile is clear. Kumquat, pear, pink grapefruit and guava open bright and juicy. Orchid, jasmine sambac and camellia give the heart a soft floral body. In the base, sandalwood, musk and tonka bean carry the sweetness and a powdery warmth, while suede adds a faint leathery edge.

Efflora

7.2

Odin New York · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Odin New York Efflora is a fresh, floral women's fragrance opening on Turkish rose, tangerine and neroli. In the top, Turkish rose meets citrus; in the heart, geranium, jasmine sambac absolute and lavender give the floral texture a green, lightly spicy edge. Vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli weigh most in the base, while oak wood absolute and white moss dry it down onto a woody, earthy footing. Both longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so the scent stays close to the skin without becoming loud. With few votes so far, that reading is tentative. Its citrusy, green character suits warmer weather. It is positioned as a women's fragrance. Herrera for Men and L'Eau du Caporal have a close profile.

M (2013)

7.3

Banana Republic · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Banana Republic M (2013) is a men's fragrance that opens with green leaves, bergamot and lime, and its fougère build and woody base keep it close to everyday wear. The top notes of green leaves, bergamot and lime give a fresh, citrusy start. In the heart, lavender, sage and violet leaf set the fougère character. In the base, white musk, tonka bean and sandalwood sweeten it slightly and soften it onto a woody footing. The overall feel is fresh and green, with a noticeable synthetic edge. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. It reads masculine. Lattafa Raghba for Man and Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Aviator have a close profile.

Spark (Eau de Parfum)

7.4

Curve · 2003

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Eau de Parfum

Curve Spark Eau de Parfum is a sweet, spicy and woody women's fragrance built around cinnamon, caramel and rose; it has been discontinued. Cinnamon's warmth and the gourmand sweetness of caramel run together through the scent. Rose and orchid add a soft floral touch, while musk settles everything onto a smooth, powdery base. Cedar leaves a dry, woody edge beneath the fruity and oriental character, and the resinous, faintly smoky tones temper the sweetness a little. The notes don't unfold in layers; it reads as one warm blend from start to finish.
