Saks Fifth Avenue for Him

Bond No. 9 · 2007

Fresh · Citrus · Synthetic

Bond No. 9 Saks Fifth Avenue for Him is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, citrusy opening with a spicy, woody base. Bergamot brings the citrus brightness up top, while black pepper, cardamom and chili add a spicy edge. Frankincense sits in the heart, and gaiac wood and amber build a warm, woody foundation underneath. The scent keeps the clean feel of a fougère, with a slightly synthetic touch in its accords. Byredo Sunday Cologne and Dunhill Icon Racing have a close note and accord profile.

Truly

8.4

Stephen Burlingham · 2005

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Stephen Burlingham Truly is a fresh, floral unisex scent that sets citrus and green brightness against a soft woody backdrop. Jasmine, hyacinth and red peony form the floral core, while lemon and white peach add a citrusy, fruity lift. Moss and sandalwood ground the scent in something earthy and woody, with a faint spicy touch staying in the background. Its longevity is rated as strong, though only a few people have voted, so this is an early impression. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits anyone. Issey Miyake A Scent and Saint Hilaire Private Grey have a close profile.

Summer Of Love

5.7

Tom Tailor · 2011

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Tom Tailor Summer Of Love is a sweet, floral women's fragrance that opens with fresh, fruity pineapple, bergamot and apple; it has been discontinued. The top notes of pineapple, bergamot and apple give a citrusy, fruity freshness. In the heart, patchouli and white blossoms bring a soft floral note, with the patchouli adding a faint spicy, woody edge. The base of gourmand notes, musk and amber pushes the sweetness forward and leaves a powdery, slightly synthetic finish. Its profile is close to Afnan Perfumes Supremacy Collector's Edition and Yves de Sistelle Thallium.
