Esmeralda

Naso di Raza · 2019

Floral · Green · Fruity

Naso di Raza Esmeralda is a floral unisex fragrance led by ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose, with a sweet, powdery softness. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as a single whole. The floral accord dominates, while green and fruity tones come through with blackcurrant, mandarin orange and bergamot. Vanilla absolute and musk sweeten it into a creamy, powdery finish, with cedarwood adding a dry trace in the background. A spicy touch keeps the floral sweetness in check. Harry Lehmann Akazie and Eutopie No. 11 have a close profile.

Bergamote Twist

6.9

Jul et Mad · 2022

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Jul et Mad Bergamote Twist is a unisex fragrance that opens fresh and spicy with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, then turns green with lavender and iris. Bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper give it a bright, spicy start. In the heart, lavender, iris and labdanum push it towards a green, woody character. The base settles on ambroxan, vanilla and a chypre accord, with the vanilla softening the dryness. Longevity is rated as moderate, though only a few votes back this up, so treat it as a first impression. The fresh, green profile reads comfortably on both men and women. Noble Royale Majestueux Vetiver and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours have a close profile.

In the heart, iris pallida brings the powdery side forward, while angelica root and amber add an earthy warmth. The base of musk and oak wood settles into a soft, woody, clean finish. Fresh and floral accords lead, with the sweetness staying in the background. Lancôme Peut-Être (2008) and Narciso Rodriguez Essence Musc Collection have a close profile.

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Washington Tremlett Chelsea Garden is a fresh, floral women's fragrance, with a fruity, sweet side set against a woody base. It opens with cardamom and rose, the cardamom adding a spicy coolness over the rose. In the heart, jasmine carries the floral thread while cedarwood gives the scent a dry, woody backbone.
