Prakt

8.1

Svensk Parfym · 2017

Fresh · Green · Fruity

Svensk Parfym Prakt is a fresh, green unisex scent built on apple, rhubarb and damp soil, and it suits spring and summer days best. Prakt has good longevity and projection. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear and leisure, with business a close third. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, as the votes spread across both. The scent as a whole is fresh and green. Apple and apple tree give it a fruity sweetness, while blackcurrant leaf and gooseberry pull that sweetness towards a sharp, green edge. Rhubarb and berries keep the fruit going, and damp soil with a rain accord adds a cool, earthy air. A woody undertone stays in the background.

Sadel

6.8

Svensk Parfym · 2017

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Svensk Parfym Sadel is a unisex scent where leather and caramel sit side by side, its sweet, gourmand side resting on a spicy, woody base. The notes read as one piece: leather and tobacco build a dry, earthy backbone, while butterscotch, caramel and vanilla lay a soft sweetness over it. The resinous and leathery accords keep the sweetness from turning confectionery, so the scent stays warm and slightly smoky where it is heaviest. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick it for leisure and evening wear, with night out and business also getting votes. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike.

Virke

7.5

Svensk Parfym · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Svensk Parfym Virke is a fresh, fruity unisex scent, where citrus brightness meets sweet raspberry and a powdery woodiness. Raspberry, dry woods and musky notes form the core. The raspberry brings a sweet, fruity tone, the dry woods anchor it in a dry, woody base, and the musky notes add a soft, powdery feel. A synthetic edge also shows among the accords. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though these ratings rest on a small number of votes. It reads comfortably on both men and women, sitting in the middle rather than leaning to either side. Dior Dior Addict Shine and The Body Shop Raspberry / Framboise have a close profile.

Idyll

7.6

Svensk Parfym · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Svensk Parfym Idyll is a unisex scent where cloudberry, bitter orange and spices meet a green, fruity and faintly smoky base. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, though only a small number of voters have rated it, so these figures are tentative. As a unisex fragrance, it does not lean toward either gender. Cloudberry and bitter orange give it a fresh, fruity, citrus-bright start, while spices temper the sweetness. Patchouli, vetiver, tobacco and musk settle it into a woody, earthy, smoky ground. Monolab W-Zone and Kemi Aqua Regia have a close profile.

En

7.5

Svensk Parfym · 2017

Fresh · Green · Spicy

Svensk Parfym En is a fresh, green, woody unisex scent built around juniper and pine, leaning towards spring and autumn for relaxed daily wear. Juniper wood, juniper berry and pine set a forest tone, oakmoss adds an earthy weight, black pepper brings a dry spicy edge, and tobacco stays in the background. The overall impression is green and resinous, dry and cool. Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though winter still gets a fair share. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the favoured settings. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it sits comfortably on either. Comme des Garçons Dover Street Market and Stirling Soap Scots Pine have a close profile.

Fröjd

7.3

Svensk Parfym · 2019

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Svensk Parfym Fröjd is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent, green and fruity in character, softened by a touch of sweetness. As a whole it reads cool and watery: cherry brings the fruity sweetness, while vetiver adds a green, earthy edge. Dry woods and ambergris keep the depth in the background, and musk gathers everything onto a soft, smooth base. A slightly synthetic sheen runs through the accords. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling the room. The balance of fresh and sweet suits relaxed, everyday wear, and it sits comfortably on anyone. Shay & Blue Watermelons and Hollister Festival Vibes for Him have a close profile.

Stilla

7.6

Svensk Parfym · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Green

Svensk Parfym Stilla is a unisex scent with a fresh, green character, its floral and woody sides keeping things calm and composed. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on anyone. Few people have rated it, so these impressions are a guide rather than a firm verdict. White lavender and eucalyptus give it a crisp, airy feel, while musky and woody notes settle it onto a soft base. Sweet, spicy and earthy touches sit behind the fresh, green accords, and the fougère structure gives the scent a clean, plain bearing.

Ljus

7.3

Svensk Parfym · 2019

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Svensk Parfym Ljus is a fresh, citrus-led unisex scent that pairs red mandarin orange, blood orange and neroli with aquatic notes. The citrus leads: red mandarin orange and blood orange bring a fruity brightness, while neroli adds a soft floral edge. Coriander contributes a light, green-spicy touch, and vetiver with musk forms a calm, clean base underneath. The aquatic notes tie it all together with a watery freshness. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so the scent stays fairly close to the skin. Its light, fresh build makes it easy to wear through the day. Ryoko Scent 01 and Harry Lehmann Esterel have a close profile.

Skymning

7.7

Svensk Parfym · 2017

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Svensk Parfym Skymning is a sweet, powdery unisex scent built around iris and violet. It reads as a single piece: iris and violet form a floral core, and violet candy sweetens it noticeably. Musk sits underneath as a soft base and deepens the powdery feel. The synthetic accord gives the floral side a bright, clean surface. Gucci A Kiss from Violet and Jean Louis Gady Iris Chic have a close profile.
