CH Under the Sea

Carolina Herrera · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Carolina Herrera CH Under the Sea pairs red algae and pink grapefruit with the soft sweetness of coconut and vanilla, an aquatic floral for women that has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, then at the office, with evening and night out chosen less often. Red algae and pink grapefruit open it with a fresh, fruity, sea-breeze feel. In the heart, coconut, peony and ylang-ylang add a floral, creamy softness. Vanilla, sandalwood and amber sweeten the base and leave a warm trail as it dries.

7.5

Monotheme · 2017

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Monotheme Tuberose is a floral scent for women that sets tuberose in a creamy, sweet, gourmand frame. Voters find its longevity and sillage good, though that rests on only a small number of votes. Its warm, sweet build reads as feminine. Petitgrain and coconut open with a citrusy, fruity lift. Tuberose and white blossoms take over in the heart, and cedarwood, amber and vanilla carry the base into a woody, creamy sweetness. Initio Blessed Baraka and Beach Geeza Coco Moon (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Oud Ambrosia

7.8

Acqua di Parma · 2026

Citrus · Green · Fruity

Acqua di Parma Oud Ambrosia is a unisex scent that sets oud, saffron and leather against bright citrus and fruit. Longevity and projection are rated good, though the small number of votes makes this tentative. The warm, spicy, resinous build suits cooler weather, but there are no season or occasion votes to say more. It opens with clementine, Italian blood orange and papaya, with violet leaf adding a green edge. Oud and saffron lead the heart. The base of oud resin, leather, honey, tobacco and amber turns sweet, woody and leathery. Habibi Honeyed Tobacco & Oud and Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Desert Oud share a close profile.

6.9

Comptoir Sud Pacifique · 2013

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Comptoir Sud Pacifique Epices Sultanes is a floral, spicy oriental: a unisex scent that balances its sweetness against a woody base. It opens with clove and Turkish rose, while metallic notes give the pair a slightly sharp edge. In the heart, amber and vanilla soften the scent and make it sweeter. The base of oud and sandalwood leaves a warm, woody trail. The balance of spice and rose keeps the floral side within a sweet, oriental frame. Created by perfumer Violaine Collas in 2013, it suits both women and men.

6.8

Mauboussin · 2012

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Mauboussin pour Lui is a fresh, green men's fragrance built around ozone, cedar needle and lavender. The top opens crisp with ozone, cedar needle and lavender. Tarragon, star anise and caraway in the heart add a spicy, slightly herbal edge. The base of amber, oakmoss and ebony settles it onto a woody, earthy footing, while the accords also carry fruity and sweet touches, a powdery side and a fougère line.

Musc & Roses

6.9

Comptoir Sud Pacifique · 2015

Fresh · Floral · Green

Comptoir Sud Pacifique Musc & Roses is a fresh, floral scent that sets rose against a green brightness and a soft, powdery sweetness, and it is sold as a women's perfume. Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. Without season or occasion votes, there is no clear direction to give on when to wear it. Green apple sits on top, with eglantine rose and May rose in the heart. Musk and vanilla in the base soften it and add sweetness. The accords combine fresh, green and fruity sides with the floral body, along with a woody, powdery thread.
