Markievicz

7.4

Scopoli

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Scopoli Markievicz is a unisex chypre that joins a fresh opening of grapefruit, bergamot and lime to a floral heart of hyacinth and carnation. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick spring and fall, with summer ahead of winter. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and it is also chosen for the office and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it pulls neither way. Hungarian clary sage joins the citrus at the top. In the heart, Austrian caraway adds a spicy edge, and the flowers take on a green, creamy look beside it. In the base, cedarwood, genmaicha and oakmoss finish it dry and woody, in a chypre manner.

Didessa

8.1

Scopoli

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Scopoli Didessa is a fresh, citrusy and green unisex fragrance built around Italian lime, fig and tarragon. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the small number of votes means that reading should be taken loosely. The fresh, citrus character brings it close to everyday wear, while the woody base lends a more serious tone. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. The opening pairs Italian lemon and lime with fig and the green edge of tarragon. Toward the heart, tuberose, aquatic notes, French lavender and camphor leaf cool the scent while softening it with a floral touch. The base of gaiac wood, Virginia cedar, patchouli and Cambodian oud settles its chypre and fougère character on a woody footing.
