Instinct Gold Edition

David Beckham · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Green

David Beckham Instinct Gold Edition is a men's fragrance that joins a fresh, green opening of bergamot, lemon and basil to a woody base of cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver. Voters rate its longevity and sillage on the weak side, though the vote count is small, so this is only a hint. With its fresh, citrusy build it sits close to everyday wear and reads as a men's scent. Bergamot, lemon and basil lead the top. In the heart, cardamom, rosemary and juniper berry add a spicy, herbal touch. Cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver then settle it onto a woody foundation. A synthetic edge runs through the accords as well. Chanel Paris - Édimbourg and Lattafa Emeer have a close profile.

I Am Not a Flower

8.4

Floraïku · 2018

Floral · Sweet · Woody

Floraïku I Am Not a Flower is a unisex oriental that, despite its name, leans more resinous, woody and sweet than floral. It opens with frankincense, ginger and coriander, a spiced and resinous start. In the heart, Chinese toon, amber, ylang-ylang and rose bring the floral side in softly. The base of labdanum absolute, patchouli, sandalwood and vetiver settles it onto a warm, woody ground. Voters rate its longevity as strong and its sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is an early impression. Suited to men and women alike, its sweet, resinous build fits cooler weather. El Nabil Amber of Yemen and Avon Evermore have a close profile.

Rock The Rainbow - Palm Trees Please

7.5

Juicy Couture · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Juicy Couture Rock The Rainbow - Palm Trees Please is a fresh, fruity and floral women's fragrance, led by lemon blossom, matcha and nectarine. It opens bright, green and juicy with lemon blossom, matcha, nectarine and blackcurrant. In the heart, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac carry the floral side while ivy and leaves keep the green note going. The base of cistus, musk, sandalwood and angelica softens it, and the citrus and sweet accords keep the whole scent light and airy. Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. It has a light, youthful, easygoing character. Novellista Crazy Rich and Jeanne en Provence Grenade Pétillante share a close profile.

Memo Paris · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Eau de Parfum

Memo Paris Moon Leather Eau de Parfum is a unisex scent that ties a fresh, citrusy opening to a leathery, animal base; it has been discontinued. Its sillage is rated good, and most voters find it projects strongly, though the vote count is small, so this is only a first impression. There is no clear voting on longevity, season or occasion. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine, suiting both. Pineapple, orange and vervain give a fresh, sweet brightness at the start. In the heart, violet, lily of the valley and clary sage add a floral, lightly creamy softness. The base of amber, vetiver, musk and leather comes forward, and the scent dries down with a leathery, animal warmth. Memo Paris Moon Fever / Moon Safari and Pana Dora Dorasima have a close profile.

Velvet Crystal Smoke

6.7

Dolce & Gabbana · 2026

Fresh · Green · Synthetic

Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Crystal Smoke is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, green air with a smoky, resinous woodiness. Incense and star anise give the opening a spicy edge.

In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, suede and labdanum soften it, and musk leaves the whole thing smooth. Longevity is rated good, and most voters rate it strong, though the number of votes is small. Its leathery, spicy build sits between masculine and feminine, which is why it reads as unisex. Comme des Garçons Floriental and Parfums MDCI Cuir Garamante have a close profile.

Jamal's Palace

7.7

Memo Paris · 2020

Floral · Sweet · Oriental

Memo Paris Jamal's Palace is a unisex oriental led by saffron, cardamom and amber, deepened by leather and oud. The notes read as one whole rather than a top-to-base progression. Saffron, cardamom and turmeric bring a spiced warmth, while amber sets it on a sweet, resinous footing. Leather and oud add a smoky, leathery darkness, and gardenia contributes a creamy floral softness. Longevity is rated strong and projection good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It has a heavy, spiced character that suits men and women alike. It has been discontinued. Fennec Amber Oud and Dunhill Moroccan Amber have a close profile.
