Hendley Perfumes

Green · Spicy · Woody

Hendley Perfumes Fume is a green, smoky, woody unisex scent built mostly around oakmoss, smoked tea and vetiver. Fume's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring in third place and summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and leisure wear. It reads more masculine than feminine, though a fair number of voters call it feminine. The scent is green and earthy. Oakmoss and vetiver lay down a dry, woody base, while smoked tea adds a spicy smokiness. Conifer resin and galbanum sharpen the green side, and nagarmotha deepens the earthy feel.

Mown

7.6

Hendley Perfumes · 2017

Floral · Green · Fruity

Hendley Perfumes Mown is a unisex scent built around hay absolute, chamomile and dried fruits, where green and floral tones meet a sweet side. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall and spring, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are almost level, so it sits between the two. Hay absolute and chamomile give a green, lightly floral start, and dried fruits sweeten it. Ambrette, orris butter and champaca add a powdery, creamy softness, while moss and tobacco bring an earthy, smoky depth. The result is freshly cut hay wrapped in a warm, faintly spicy glow. Bortnikoff Dream (Elixir) and April Aromatics Erdenstern have a close profile.

Untitled

7.4

Hendley Perfumes · 2019

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Hendley Perfumes Untitled is a discontinued unisex scent that sets a fresh, green character against a soft, woody, powdery and creamy warmth. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer and winter chosen less often.

Blond

7.5

Hendley Perfumes · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Hendley Perfumes Blond is a fresh, floral unisex scent built around cantaloupe, jasmine and sandalwood, and it has been discontinued. The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Cantaloupe brings a fruity, aquatic freshness, while jasmine and osmanthus absolute carry the floral side. Suede, orris root and musk set that freshness on a powdery, creamy and slightly leathery ground, with sandalwood and ambergris adding woody warmth. The sweet, gourmand tones stay in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine, and suits either.

Jupiter

7.3

Hendley Perfumes · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Hendley Perfumes Jupiter is a unisex scent that sets the fresh citrus of neroli, red mandarin orange and bergamot over a sweet, woody base of vanilla and cedarwood. The citrus notes give it a bright, green freshness; vanilla sweetens it, and cedarwood adds dryness and a woody backbone. Musk and ambergris lay a soft ground, while the spicy and resinous accords keep the sweetness from turning flat. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. It suits men and women alike and reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. Le Labo Bigarade 18 and The Dua Brand 18 Shades of Bigarade have a close profile.

Tobacco Cider

It is a unisex scent. The fruity and sweet side comes from apple and vanilla absolute, the spicy side from the mulling spices. Tobacco absolute, sandalwood, patchouli and labdanum form a woody, earthy, smoky base. Benzoin and tonka bean add a resinous sweetness, and civet brings an animal depth. Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense and Bortnikoff Tabac Doré (Extrait de Parfum) have a close profile.
