Rem & Bow

Réminiscence · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Réminiscence Rem & Bow is a fresh, citrusy and floral women's fragrance that leans towards summer and spring days; it has been discontinued. It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage. Most voters pick summer, followed by spring, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office better than evenings or nights out. It opens with bergamot, lemon, grapefruit and mandarin orange for a bright citrus start, while blackcurrant and mango add a fruity touch. In the heart, tiaré and jasmine bring a floral warmth. The base of cedarwood, ambergris, musk and brown sugar closes it soft, sweet and lightly woody.

Eau Hyper Fraîche

Courrèges · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Courrèges Eau Hyper Fraîche is a discontinued unisex fragrance built on bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange, cooled by green and floral touches. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it most for daily wear and business, then leisure, while sport and nights out come well behind. It carries a light feel that doesn't lean toward either gender. It opens with citrus in front, then jasmine, mint and petitgrain add a floral, green side to that freshness. The base of patchouli, moss and cedar dries down woody and powdery, in a chypre manner. Caudalie Zeste de Vigne and Trussardi Skin have a close profile.

Madeleine 862

7.8

O.U.i - Original Unique Individuel · 2021

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

O.U.i - Original Unique Individuel Madeleine 862 is a sweet floral-gourmand for women, linking the brightness of pink pepper and raspberry to the warmth of rum and tuberose. It opens with pink pepper and raspberry, a fruity first impression with a light spicy edge. In the heart, rum and tuberose lead: the rum deepens the sweetness while the tuberose gives the scent a floral body. The base holds vanilla, sandalwood and white musk; the vanilla keeps the gourmand side going, while sandalwood and musk soften everything into a smooth finish.

Make the Cover for Him

6.6

Playboy · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Playboy Make the Cover for Him is a fresh, citrusy and aquatic fragrance for men, with green and fruity touches and a light sweetness. It opens with bergamot, green apple and green cardamom, then moves into fruits, lavender water and violet leaf. In the dry-down, tonka bean, patchouli and amberwood soften it onto a woody, lightly sweet base. A spicy, synthetic edge stays in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes that only a rough guide. Marketed as a men's fragrance, it sits closer to relaxed everyday wear. Bruno Banani Made for Men and Paris Bleu Aviator have a close profile.

South Slope / Blue Ridge

7.9

Michael Malul · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Michael Malul South Slope / Blue Ridge is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, citrusy start with aquatic, woody and leathery tones. The top is blackcurrant, Italian mandarin orange and lemon, bright and lightly sweet. In the heart, ozonic notes, cedar leaf and Provençal lavender give it a fougère feel. The base of patchouli, leather and sandalwood settles into something earthy and woody. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. The fresh accord leads, so it wears easily in warm weather and everyday settings, while the leathery base keeps it from being a plain fresh scent. Eight & Bob Egypt and Kinetic Perfumes Insomnia have a close note and accord profile.
