Moss Gown

Providence Perfume · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Green

Providence Perfume Moss Gown is a women's fragrance that carries the green, earthy side of tree moss, cedarwood and violet leaf into a floral chypre feel. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it stays present on skin for hours without crowding the room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It leans towards leisure and daytime wear and suits evenings too. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits between the two. Green and fresh accords lead. Violet leaf and tree moss bring a cool edge, while sandalwood and cedarwood set a woody base. Rose, mimosa, lilac, narcissus and chamomile add a sweet floral note, and spicy, resinous touches keep it soft but balanced. Tom Ford Vert de Fleur and Annette Neuffer Chyprette have a close profile.

Hindu Honeysuckle

7.2

Providence Perfume · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Providence Perfume Hindu Honeysuckle is a fresh, citrusy floral with a green, earthy edge and a balance of sweetness and spice, made for anyone. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the few votes behind those ratings make them a rough guide. Voters pick it mostly for leisure and daytime, while some also wear it for evenings, work and nights out. Honeysuckle, rose and Indian jasmine sambac carry the floral heart. Bergamot and coriander add freshness and a light spice, while vetiver and ambrette lay an earthy base under them. An animal note also shows in the accords. Louis Vuitton Orage and Givenchy Vetyver have a close profile.

Rose Bohème

7.7

Providence Perfume · 2011

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

The rose comes from two sides, white rose and Turkish rose, while saffron adds spice and patchouli and oud give a woody, earthy base. Fir and tea bring a light, resinous touch. Sweet, powdery and creamy accords soften the flower, and an animal note deepens the oriental feel. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters find the lasting power high, though those ratings come from only a few people. It suits anyone who likes a full, spicy, woody rose, and it reads neither masculine nor feminine. Ministry of Oud Greatest and Czech & Speake Dark Rose have a close profile.

Irisqué

8.1

Providence Perfume · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Green

Providence Perfume Irisqué is a fresh, floral unisex scent built around Iris germanica and Iris pallida, leaning towards spring and fall.

Most voters pick spring and fall, and no single occasion dominates: evening, leisure, business and night out are all close. Perfumes with a similar profile include The Different Company Bois d'Iris and Voskanian Parfums Iris Boisé.

Osmanthus Oolong

6.5

Providence Perfume · 2009

Fruity · Spicy · Woody

Providence Perfume Osmanthus Oolong is a unisex scent in which a fruity, spicy core settles onto a woody, smoky and leathery base; it has been discontinued. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it is not a skin-hugging scent, though the small number of ratings means this is only a rough guide.

It opens with osmanthus, peach and citrus notes giving a fruity brightness, while red, black and green tea pull that brightness toward a dry, slightly bitter edge. Tart and fruity notes carry through the heart, and leather and apricot take over the base. Animal and earthy accords stay in the background throughout.
