Bibi Bigler · 2020

Floral · Green · Synthetic

Bibi Bigler Mystic Mastic is a green, resinous unisex scent that suits autumn and winter evenings. It opens with Greek mastic, grapefruit and pistachio leaf, a cool green start brightened slightly by aldehydes. In the heart, tobacco absolute, rose and pine balance the floral side against the smoky one. The base of labdanum, amber, patchouli and oakmoss is woody, earthy and resinous, softened by frankincense and musk. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it is worn for evenings, nights out and leisure time. It reads somewhat more masculine, though it is unisex. Kinski Fragrance Kinski and Neandertal Neandertal Dark have a close profile.

Cembra

7.7

Bibi Bigler · 2009

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Bibi Bigler Cembra opens with Swiss stone pine, larch and bergamot, a fresh, green unisex scent that settles into a resinous, earthy base. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters lean towards autumn and spring, followed by winter and summer, and pick it mostly for leisure and business settings. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though many voters see it as feminine too. Pine, larch and bergamot give a cool, green start, with mountain pine reinforcing that feel.

Whisky

6.7

Bibi Bigler

Citrus · Fruity · Spicy

Bibi Bigler Whisky is a leathery, smoky and woody unisex scent with a warm, dark and spicy feel. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though with few votes these ratings are only a rough guide. It is written for men and women alike, without leaning either way. Leather, tobacco, rum and oak lead the notes, while cedar, vetiver and sandalwood form the woody base and oud and castoreum deepen the animal side. Pear, citrus fruits and vanilla soften the edges a little. Spicy, resinous and earthy accords sit alongside this dark picture. Its profile is close to Tabac Aurea and Hard Leather.

Splendur

7.1

Bibi Bigler

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Bibi Bigler Splendur is a unisex fragrance that pairs fresh citrus with a soft, powdery floral heart. Mandarin orange, orange and fringed pink open it bright and lightly green. In the middle, rose, carnation, ylang-ylang and iris form a floral core. The base of powder, musk and vanilla sweetens it and settles into a creamy, powdery finish, with a spicy touch in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without pushing itself on the room. Voters pick it most for leisure time, with business and evening wear close behind. It sits evenly between masculine and feminine. Officina delle Essenze Puro Talco and Etro Vicolo Fiori have a similar profile.

Neroli Splash

5.9

Bibi Bigler

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Bibi Bigler Neroli Splash is a fresh, citrusy floral that pairs neroli and orange blossom with a green, lightly sweet frame, and it reads as unisex. It opens with aldehydes, bitter orange, grapefruit and petitgrain, a bright citrus layer with a slight edge. In the heart, orange blossom and neroli take over, and the floral side turns powdery and creamy. The base of musk, cedar, indole and juniper settles into a calm, woody finish. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without being faint. The number of ratings is small, so this impression is tentative. Its fresh, green build suits everyday wear. Evody Fleur d'Oranger and Sana Jardin Berber Blonde have a close profile.

6.5

Bibi Bigler · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Bibi Bigler Mandarine Mythos is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent built around Greek mandarin orange and sea breeze. The top pairs sea breeze with Greek mandarin orange for a bright, aquatic opening. Narcissus and soil in the heart add a floral, green and earthy side. In the base, patchouli, amber and caramel sweeten the scent and give it a creamy, fruity softness. Longevity and sillage are moderate, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It suits both men and women, fresh up front with a sweet base. Superz. Dominance (Extrait de Parfum) and Simone Andreoli Moorea have a close profile.
