L'Eau de Phaedon

Phaedon · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Phaedon L'Eau de Phaedon is a fresh, floral unisex scent that suits spring and summer days. Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Votes lean feminine, though a good share read it as masculine. It carries a citrus and green freshness: mandarin orange and neroli give a bright start, while agave and aloe vera pull it toward a watery, green side. Jasmine adds a soft floral touch, and blond woods and musk make a dry, powdery, creamy base.

Lady in Red

7.1

Pascal Morabito

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Pascal Morabito Lady in Red is a sweet, powdery floral-oriental for women, pairing star anise and liquorice with an orange blossom and jasmine heart. It opens with star anise and liquorice, a spicy, slightly gourmand start. Orange blossom and jasmine carry the floral heart, while sandalwood, musk, vanilla and oakmoss settle it into a woody, powdery, sweet base. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring further behind. It is worn mostly for evenings and nights out, and also for leisure. Jeanne Arthes Guipure & Silk and Monotheme Jasmin Noir / Black Jasmine have a close profile.
