Spite (Eau de Parfum)

Chronotope · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Green

Eau de Parfum

Chronotope Spite Eau de Parfum pairs tuberose, thyme and sandalwood in a fresh, floral and green unisex scent. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as a single whole. Rose otto, peony and orange blossom build the floral side, while galbanum and green carnation add a sharp, leafy edge. Nutmeg and clove bring spice, and Omani green frankincense adds a resinous depth. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. Its fresh, green character suits anyone who likes florals, men and women alike. Its profile is close to Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Woman and Memo Paris Odéon Rosebud.

Buen Camino (Eau de Parfum)

Eau de Parfum

Chronotope Buen Camino Eau de Parfum is an unusual unisex scent in which citrus and spice sit on a gourmand, smoky base. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, and more than half rate the longevity high. The sample is small, so this picture is still tentative. Being unisex, it suits anyone drawn to a road-and-city mood rather than a conventional fragrance. The notes read as a single whole: lemon and orange form a bright citrus layer, with spices and French lavender over it. Almond cake and espresso add gourmand warmth, while immortelle gives a resinous depth. Dust, sweat and asphalt draw an earthy, smoky, slightly synthetic urban air.

Chronotope

Fresh · Floral · Green

Chronotope Intra Venus is a fresh, green and floral perfume for women, set on a woody, resinous footing. The scent reads green and cool as a whole: hyacinth, cyclamen and amaryllis form the floral side, while hinoki cypress, cypress and tree moss add a damp, woody air. Mastic brings a resinous firmness, and wasabi and yarrow add a spicy, herbal edge. Sulfur and maté give it an unusual, synthetic touch, which the creamy accord softens a little. Its profile is close to Angela Ciampagna Nox and Parfums Quartana Hemlock.

Me/dea

6.9

Chronotope · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Chronotope Me/dea is a unisex scent that sets citrus-floral notes like neroli and Florida tangerine against unexpected ones such as varnish, kerosene and metal. It opens with varnish and neroli; the heart builds a fresh, citrusy floral from Florida tangerine, orange blossom and petitgrain, while baby powder and make-up pull it towards a powdery tone. The base turns synthetic and industrial, with blood, fuel, kerosene, metal and lubricating oil, softened by soap and citrus notes. Woody, spicy and leathery accords sit quietly in the background. Its profile is close to Nabeel Asateer and Ellis Brooklyn Rives.

Playalinda

6.8

Chronotope · 2020

Floral · Aquatic · Fruity

Chronotope Playalinda is a unisex perfume that sets the floral-fruity sweetness of jasmine sambac, osmanthus and peach against oakmoss, kelp and metal. The scent reads as a single piece rather than a progression: jasmine sambac, osmanthus and peach build a floral, sweet side that grapefruit brightens slightly. Oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver give it an earthy footing, while ambrette seed adds a powdery, creamy softness. Indole brings an animal edge, and kelp and metal add an aquatic, synthetic contrast. Spicy and leathery touches stay in the background. Bond No. 9 New York Musk and Francesca Bianchi Love for Sale have a close profile.
