Lavender Noir (Perfume)

Phoenix Botanicals · 2013

Floral · Green · Sweet

Phoenix Botanicals Lavender Noir is a unisex fougère that sets lavender against earth, smoke and green. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. It reads as unisex and suits men and women alike. As a whole it has a clean fougère feel, with lavender and bergamot up front. Oakmoss and mushrooms add an earthy, green depth, while smoke and tonka bean soften the dry edge into something sweet, resinous and creamy. Wild flowers keep the floral side in the background.

Ka Pueo (Perfume)

6.9

Phoenix Botanicals

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Phoenix Botanicals Ka Pueo is a unisex perfume that sets a floral, sweet core against spicy, woody and smoky tones. Its longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it sits close to the skin and stays quiet. Few people have voted, so that impression is not firm. It reads neither strictly masculine nor feminine and can be worn by anyone. The scent is best taken as a whole: jasmine and white gingerlily lay down a floral base, while vanilla and tonka bean make it creamy and sweet. Pinyon pine, Palo Santo, frankincense and oud add a smoky, woody shade, and lavender and vetiver dry the warmth out a little. A faint animal note also shows in the accords.

Meadow & Fir

7.5

Phoenix Botanicals · 2013

Floral · Green · Sweet

Phoenix Botanicals Meadow & Fir is a floral, green scent for women that sets a meadow of flowers against the resinous, woody air of fir. Wild flowers, violet and linden tree give it a floral, green, meadow-like feel. Fir and resins add woody depth, myrrh brings a spicy edge, and amber sweetens the whole. Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate, so it neither fades quickly on skin nor fills a room, though with so few votes this is only a rough impression. It dates from 2013 and was composed by Irina Adam. Close in profile are The Bible Fragrance Myrrh and Al Haramain Nasmah.
