Galvanize

Ex Nihilo · 2019

Fresh · Floral · Synthetic

Ex Nihilo Galvanize is a fresh floral women's fragrance that opens with pink pepper and mandarin orange and centres on narcissus, rose and tuberose. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though the small number of ratings means these figures are tentative. Voters place it in daily wear, leisure and business, with evening not far behind. It is the least chosen for nights out. It starts with the brightness of mandarin orange sharpened by pink pepper. In the heart, narcissus, rose and tuberose form the floral core. The base of musk, ambrette, a solar note and floral notes leaves a soft, powdery trail, and a synthetic edge shows in the accords. Swarovski Aura (Eau de Parfum) and Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude have a close profile.

08 - Un Baiser Place Vendôme

7.5

Solférino · 2025

Floral · Green · Synthetic

Solférino 08 - Un Baiser Place Vendôme is a unisex scent that sets a floral, green character against a powdery, creamy and woody base. Its longevity and sillage both come across as moderate, though the small number of ratings makes that a hint rather than a firm measure. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike, and suits anyone who wants something calm that stays close to the skin. The top pairs angelica seed with ambrette, giving a lightly spicy, green start. At the heart, iris, sandalwood and hawthorn lead, with the floral side resting on a powdery, woody footing. Tonka bean and frankincense in the base dry it down toward something creamy and warm. Gucci Tears of Iris and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur have a close profile.

Rio Glow

7.1

Jennifer Lopez · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jennifer Lopez Rio Glow is a fresh, fruity women's fragrance built on pear, apple and peach with green notes; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted. Voters place it mostly in leisure and daily wear, with business use next. It opens with pear, apple and peach alongside green notes for a crisp fruit feel. The heart of orange blossom, heliotrope and plum adds a floral, lightly powdery sweetness. The base of musk, white cedarwood, vanilla and amber leaves a soft, woody finish.

Séléné / Burning Desire

6.9

Ggema. · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Ggema. Séléné / Burning Desire is a fresh, citrusy women's fragrance that carries the spice of cardamom and black pepper into a sweet floral heart of rose and raspberry. It opens with cardamom, black pepper, grapefruit and Italian bergamot: spicy yet bright, with the citrus keeping things lively. At the heart, raspberry, rose and Rose NeoAbsolute™ lead, and the scent turns fruity, sweet and floral. Musk sits in the base and finishes it on a soft, powdery note. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though only a few people have voted, so treat that as a first impression. The fresh citrus and sweet florals lean towards easy everyday wear. It is described as a women's fragrance. La Rive Madame Isabelle and Kenzo Amour I Love U have a close profile.

Ocre Doré

7.2

Scent on Canvas · 2013

Gourmand · Spicy · Woody

Scent on Canvas Ocre Doré is a women's fragrance built around oakmoss, Indonesian patchouli and labdanum, with an earthy, woody and resinous character. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet presence. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It opens with tea, maté and Persian galbanum, a green and slightly bitter start. In the heart, white truffle, oakmoss and underwood set an earthy, powdery base. It settles into patchouli, Virginia cedar and labdanum, which bring a woody, smoky, resinous warmth, with gourmand and spicy accords staying in the background.

Les Bouquets d'Orlane - Autour du Coquelicot

7.4

Orlane · 2009

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Orlane Les Bouquets d'Orlane - Autour du Coquelicot is a fresh, floral and fruity scent with a noticeable sweetness and a synthetic edge, made for women. The opening pairs cardamom, blackcurrant, citrus notes and watery fruits for a bright, juicy start. The heart builds a floral bouquet from osmanthus, tuberose and rose, with coriander adding a lightly spiced touch. In the base, woody notes, benzoin, tonka bean and musky notes soften the scent and sweeten it. Released in 2009, it has been discontinued. Its profile sits close to Christina Aguilera Inspire and Rabanne Olympēa Flora.
