Fang

7.1

Neil Morris Fragrances · 2017

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Neil Morris Fragrances Fang is a unisex scent that pairs a jasmine and gardenia floral heart with patchouli, musk and pumpkin, leaning sweet and gourmand. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base progression. Jasmine and gardenia give a creamy floral body, while pumpkin pulls it toward a gourmand sweetness. Patchouli lays down a woody, spicy ground, and musk adds an animal warmth. Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this is an early picture. It suits those who like rich, sweet scents without a gender label. Perris Monte Carlo Vanille de Tahiti and Lalique Satine have a close profile.

Black Forest

7.4

Neil Morris Fragrances

Green · Spicy · Woody

Neil Morris Fragrances Black Forest is a unisex scent with a green, woody forest character, shaped by resin and a touch of smoke. The scent is built almost entirely from woods: sandalwood, rosewood and cedarwood form the frame, while juniper berry, Canary Islands juniper and Siberian fir add a cool, green, needle-like freshness. Frankincense brings a resinous, faintly smoky depth, and tonka bean softens the dry edges with a little sweetness. Bamboo leaves a fresh green hint in the background, and the spicy and earthy accords round out the impression of a damp forest floor. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Olibanum and Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême.

Ambra Obscura

8.1

Neil Morris Fragrances · 2013

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Neil Morris Fragrances Ambra Obscura is a sweet, resinous oriental with spicy, smoky and slightly animalic shadings, giving it a dark, warm character that suits anyone. Juniper, benzoin, patchouli, tonka bean, labdanum and vanilla read together. Vanilla and tonka pull it towards a creamy sweetness, labdanum and benzoin add resinous warmth, and patchouli gives an earthy, woody backdrop. Musk softens the whole and keeps it close to the skin. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good; most voters score longevity high, though the number of votes is small. Its dense, warm build leans towards cooler weather. Ex Voto Eau de Luxe - Amber and Scent Trunk Sensuous Amber have a close profile.

Flowers For Men - Lilac

6.2

Neil Morris Fragrances

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Neil Morris Fragrances Flowers For Men - Lilac is a men's scent that pairs a floral, sweet character with a woody, resinous and leathery base. It opens with mandarin orange and petitgrain for a fresh start. Lilac and white hyacinth carry the floral heart. The base brings musk, leather, vetiver and labdanum; as it dries, the sweetness is balanced by woody and leathery tones, leaving a synthetic, spicy texture behind. Its longevity is rated strong, though this rests on only a few votes. With its floral heart and touch of leather, it is positioned as a men's fragrance. Francesca Dell'Oro Page 29 and Floris Mahon Leather have a close profile.

Earthtones #2: Desert Wind

6.9

Neil Morris Fragrances

Fresh · Floral · Green

Neil Morris Fragrances Earthtones #2: Desert Wind is a fresh, green floral with a spicy, woody and earthy edge, unisex in character. It opens with aldehydes and black pepper, then moves into a floral, powdery heart of helional, bay rum, hydrangea and white lily. The base of ambergris, cedar, dry woods and white amber settles it onto a dry, woody ground, and a clean, synthetic feel runs throughout. Longevity is rated strong, with most voters scoring it high, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. With no season or occasion votes, there is nothing firm to say about when to wear it; its fresh but crisp build reads comfortably on men and women alike.

Swoon

7.2

Neil Morris Fragrances

Fresh · Floral · Green

Neil Morris Fragrances Swoon is a unisex fragrance built around orange, black tea, jasmine sambac and peony, with a fresh, floral and green chypre character. The top holds fruity notes and orange. The heart is crowded: black tea, honeysuckle, dossinia orchid, tomato leaf, peony, jasmine sambac, philodendron and narcissus carry the floral and green sides together. The base settles into patchouli, oakmoss, chives, musk and oud, adding an earthy, woody, creamy and slightly animalic depth. Fruity freshness and a chypre structure sit side by side.

Vapor

5.8

Neil Morris Fragrances · 2009

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Neil Morris Fragrances Vapor is a fresh, floral unisex scent built around heliotrope, tonka bean and frankincense. The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Aldehydes and water lily give it an aquatic freshness, while heliotrope and tonka bean pull it towards something sweet, powdery and creamy. Frankincense adds a spicy, smoky shadow, and musk with ambergris lays a soft woody-oriental floor. A synthetic sheen runs through the whole character. Its profile is close to Strenesse Strenesse Intense and Prada Luna Rossa Sport.

Midnight Shadows

8.0

Neil Morris Fragrances

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Neil Morris Fragrances Midnight Shadows is a sweet, smoky unisex scent led by tuberose, civet and caramel, and darkened by oud and labdanum. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Every voter finds the longevity high, though the vote count is small, so this is only a first impression. It suits those who want a heavy, dense scent that works on both men and women. A floral and sweet frame is joined by spicy, woody and resinous tones. Tuberose and caramel carry the sweetness, while civet and musk add an animal warmth. Oud, labdanum, Canary Islands juniper and Somalian frankincense give it an earthy, smoky, leathery depth.

Izmir

7.6

Neil Morris Fragrances

Floral · Fruity · Gourmand

Neil Morris Fragrances Izmir is a unisex scent that moves from a floral, fruity start to a gourmand, spicy and woody base.

The base is led by vanilla, oud and patchouli, with marine notes staying in the background. An earthy, smoky touch rounds out the oriental character. Jacques Bogart Oud Coffee and Franck Olivier oudVanille have a close profile.

Midnight Sea

6.9

Neil Morris Fragrances

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Neil Morris Fragrances Midnight Sea is a unisex scent built around patchouli, ozonic notes and water lily, with a fresh, aquatic character and a floral, powdery side. The scent reads as a single whole: ozonic notes and water lily set a cool, watery tone, which the floral accord softens. Patchouli adds an earthy depth, while musk and vanilla form a powdery, lightly sweet base. The spicy accord stays in the background and gives the coolness a faint edge. Its clean, calm profile suits anyone who likes aquatic fragrances, men and women alike. Cerchi Nell'Acqua Piccolo Amor and Label Salt & Cyclamen have a close profile.

Green leaves, bamboo and black tea freshen the blend, and aldehydes give it some sparkle. Civet and musk bring an animal warmth, and oud and teakwood deepen the woody side. Sweet and spicy accords stay in the background. Gucci Gucci № 3 and New Notes Erotika Minimale have a close profile.

Le parfum d'Ida

7.9

Neil Morris Fragrances

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

The base darkens it with vetiver, iris, civet, Russian leather, oud, myrrh and oakmoss, leaving a woody, smoky and animal trail. That contrast between a sweet, slightly synthetic brightness and a hard leathery ground gives the scent its character. Zoologist Civet and Etat Libre d'Orange Vierges et Toreros have a close profile.
