Artisan Costiero

John Varvatos · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

John Varvatos Artisan Costiero is a fresh, citrusy and aquatic fragrance for men, with green and fruity touches that keep the sea-air feel lively. It opens with lemon, mandarin orange and yuzu, which form a bright citrus layer. In the heart, marine notes, Karmaflor® and Nectaryl bring the aquatic character forward. The base of Akigalawood®, moss and patchouli sets it on an earthy, lightly spicy footing, while the sweetness stays in the background. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Davidoff Cool Water Wave for Men and Bench. Together for Him have a close profile.

A*Men Sunessence Édition Orage d'Ete

6.5

Mugler · 2010

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Mugler A*Men Sunessence Édition Orage d'Ete is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh, citrusy feel against a green, spicy and earthy core; it has been discontinued. The notes read as a single whole rather than in stages: spices, woods, coffee and patchouli. The fresh, citrus side keeps it light, while the gourmand touch of coffee and the earthy woodiness of patchouli give it body. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, though the vote count is small. Most choose it for daytime and leisure, and it fits the office too; evening and night out are named less often. It is classed as a men's scent. Its profile is close to Dolce & Gabbana Devotion pour Homme and Louis Vuitton Orage.

Nude Vanilla

5.7

Calvin Klein · 2025

Fresh · Sweet · Synthetic

Calvin Klein Nude Vanilla is a unisex scent that mixes sweet, gourmand warmth with a fresh, creamy softness. Vanilla leads, with musk giving it a smooth, creamy base and amberwood adding a gentle woody warmth. The fresh and sweet accords are the most noticeable, with a light spicy touch and a slightly synthetic sheen. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room, though the number of votes is small. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Zadig & Voltaire This Is Us! and Essenzialmente Laura Ebano have a close profile.

A*Men Gold Edition

8.1

Mugler · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Mugler A*Men Gold Edition is a men's fragrance that pairs lavender and mint with patchouli, cedar and coffee, moving between sweet and smoky. Its longevity and sillage ratings are high: voters find it very long-lasting and strong in projection, though the number of votes is small, so these figures are tentative. It is classed as masculine and has been discontinued. Lavender and mint open fresh, green and citrusy. Patchouli and cedar then bring a woody, slightly smoky character forward. The base of tonka bean, styrax and coffee adds a sweet, gourmand and powdery warmth. Roberto Cavalli Uomo and Ted Lapidus TL Intenso have a close profile.

Provenance Tales - Silvan

6.5

Rouge Bunny Rouge · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Rouge Bunny Rouge Provenance Tales - Silvan is a unisex scent that opens fresh with citrus and green notes, then moves into a woody, resinous and smoky side. Pepper, grapefruit and juniper berry keep the opening crisp and spicy. In the heart, gaiac wood and frankincense bring a resinous, slightly smoky air, while cedarwood, musk and patchouli give the base an earthy, woody footing. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it neither whispers nor fills a room, though the small number of votes makes these ratings only a rough guide. It reads equally well on men and women. M. Micallef Jewel for Him and Creed Royal Oud have a close profile.

The opening is bright and fresh, with lemon, bergamot, mandarin orange and Anjou pear. In the heart, jasmine sambac, ashoka flower and tiaré bring out the floral side while the citrus fades back. In the base, vanillin sweetens the scent, cedarwood and vetiver add a dry woodiness, and Ambrofix gives a soft footing. Overall it reads sweet and floral. ESSNCE Delicate Jasmine and MA|LO Queen Flora have a close profile.

Victoria's Secret · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Eau de Parfum

Victoria's Secret Bare Magnolia Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral women's fragrance with a sweet, creamy layer on top. Magnolia wood, vanilla and orange blossom read as a single whole. The fresh, floral side leads, while vanilla sweetens the scent and gives it a creamy softness.

Magnolia wood and orange blossom bring a floral tone that, joined with vanilla, leaves a clean yet soft trail. Perfumes with a close profile include Zara Fields at Nightfall Intense and Prada Candy Kiss (Eau de Parfum).
