Barbour for Him (2021)

Barbour · 2021

Citrus · Green · Sweet

Barbour for Him is a citrus and spicy scent for men that leans towards the cooler months of fall and winter. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. Leisure, night out and evening wear come up most often. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, and most voters read it as masculine. It opens with citrus notes, while black pepper, pink pepper and cardamom give the heart its spice. The base holds amber, vetiver, cedar, musk and gaiac wood. The overall feel is green and woody, softened by a sweet, gourmand touch. French Avenue Spectre Ghost and John Richmond for Men have a close profile.

Continental

7.1

CRA-YON · 2021

Spicy · Woody · Animal

CRA-YON Continental is a spicy, smoky unisex fragrance led by leather, oud and frankincense, dark and resinous in character. It is rated strong for longevity and good for sillage.

The top opens with cypress, orange, mint and ylang-ylang. The heart darkens with frankincense and leather, while lemon grass and coriander add spice. The base settles into oud, cedar, vetiver, sandalwood, amber and musk. The overall impression is woody, earthy and animalic. Boadicea the Victorious Mayfair and Dior Leather Oud have a close profile.

Barbour for Her (2021)

6.5

Barbour · 2021

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Barbour for Her is a fresh, floral scent: a green and citrus opening gives way to a powdery, lightly sweet floral heart. The top notes are green notes and citrus notes, so it starts bright and fruity. In the heart, jasmine and tuberose bring out the floral side. In the base, tonka bean softens the sweetness and musk leaves a powdery trace. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring, and it is favoured for leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads as a feminine fragrance. Van Cleef & Arpels Gardénia Pétale and Acqua di Parma Gelsomino Nobile have a close profile.

Caramel Days

7.0

CRA-YON · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

CRA-YON Caramel Days is a sweet, creamy unisex scent led by caramel, vanilla and cocoa. Italian mandarin orange and Brazilian orange add a bright fruity edge, while Egyptian jasmine, heliotrope and frangipani bring a soft floral side. Coconut and cocoa deepen the gourmand character, and ambroxan lays a smooth, synthetic texture under the sweetness. Its sillage is moderate, though that rating rests on few votes. With its sweet, gourmand build it suits cooler days, and it reads equally well on men and women. Initio Can't Get Enough and Andrea Maack Jest have a close profile.
