Assam of India

7.5

Berdoues · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Berdoues Assam of India is a unisex scent that pairs the brightness of French lemon with Indian tea and Mysore sandalwood. French lemon leads, giving a citrusy, green freshness. In the heart, Indian tea adds a dry, lightly spicy and fruity touch, while Mysore sandalwood softens everything onto a woody base. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Votes for feminine and masculine are close, so it sits evenly between the two. Etro Lemon Sorbet and Frama St. Pauls have a close profile.

Berdoues · 2015

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Berdoues Selva do Brazil is a fresh, green unisex fragrance built around Paraguayan petigrain, Brazilian tonka bean and Argentinian gaiac wood. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine, with votes split almost evenly between the two. It opens with petigrain, citrusy, green and bright. In the heart, tonka bean softens things and keeps its sweetness in the background. Gaiac wood then leaves a woody, lightly spicy base, with a floral touch running through the whole scent.
