Camaheu

7.5

Gabriella Chieffo · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Gabriella Chieffo Camaheu is a fresh, floral unisex scent that carries the brightness of bergamot and grapefruit into a heart of rose and jasmine, then settles into vanilla and amber. The top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and ivy give a citrusy, green opening. Rose and jasmine bring the floral heart forward. In the base, vanilla, oakmoss and amber sweeten the scent and rest it on a powdery, creamy footing. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, with leisure and business settings leading. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Marcoccia Lei and Bottega Profumiera Rose Poudre have a close profile.

Lye

7.7

Gabriella Chieffo · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Gabriella Chieffo Lye is a unisex scent that sets a bright opening of Italian lemon and Calabrian bergamot against a soft, slightly smoky base of frankincense, iris and vanilla. The citrus opens fresh and clean, while frankincense and iris in the heart add a powdery, resinous note. Vanilla brings a creamy sweetness underneath, leather and patchouli give it a woody, smoky depth, and opoponax rounds things off with a spicy warmth. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close without filling a room. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it leans towards leisure, work and daily wear. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits comfortably between the two.

The base of vanilla, leather and sandalwood leaves a woody, oriental warmth. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters suggest fall and winter, and it is picked more often for evenings and leisure hours. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine.
