Extrait de Parfum

Bon Parfumeur 502 Iris Cartagena Extrait de Parfum is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent that sets Caribbean rum, West African cocoa and Ethiopian coffee against the powdery softness of orris root and vanilla. The top holds mandarin petitgrain, Caribbean rum and cocoa, while the heart brings Moroccan orris root, vanilla, American cedar and Indian sandalwood. Two coffees, vetiver and sugar cane anchor the base, keeping it sweet and creamy over a woody, spicy ground. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and place it mainly in the evening and on nights out, then leisure. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it moves easily between the two. Celine Black Tie and Van Cleef & Arpels Bois Doré have a close profile.

Jamaican rum, pink pepper and Italian mandarin orange open at the top. Australian peach, ylang-ylang, benzoin and Madagascan ginger form the heart. Vanilla, tonka bean and amber rest at the base.

Lalique · 2020

Fresh · Sweet · Spicy

Lalique Les Compositions Parfumées - Glorious Indigo is a sweet, spicy woody scent with resinous and smoky shades, suited to autumn and winter evenings and reading as masculine. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and the character votes lean masculine. It opens with ginger, cinnamon absolute and cistus absolute for a spicy warmth, with vanilla sweetening it. Cedarwood and patchouli build a woody heart. The base of gaiac wood, sandalwood and black amber dries down smoky and resinous.

Rose Magnitude

Goldfield & Banks · 2026

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Goldfield & Banks Rose Magnitude is a unisex scent that pairs Damask rose and violet with Moroccan orris butter absolute and raspberry, its floral and fruity side softened by sweet spice. Voters find both its longevity and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are not firm. Its unisex character suits wearers of any gender. The top opens with orris butter absolute, raspberry, buckwheat and Egyptian cumin, so fruit and spice arrive together from the first moment. In the heart, Damask rose, violet, ginger and geranium build a floral body. The base of tonka bean, black vanilla and sandalwood sweetens the scent and settles it on a woody, faintly leathery footing.

Binaurale · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Binaurale Petal Jus is a unisex scent that opens on peony, tuberose and nectar, and reads floral, sweet and creamy. At first, peony and tuberose give a bright floral feel, while nectar pulls it in a fruity, sweet direction. In the heart, vinyl and sweetened condensed milk pair a smooth, synthetic texture with a creamy softness. In the base, tonka bean and musk round off the sweetness and leave a warm, soft finish. Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal by Night and Laura Biagiotti Ambrosia Aurea have a close profile.
