Eau de Parfum

Christina Aguilera Violet Noir Eau de Parfum pairs red grapefruit, passion fruit, iris and rose in a fruity, sweet floral made for women. Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for nights out, leisure time and evenings. It reads as feminine and modern. It opens with red grapefruit and passion fruit alongside nectarine blossom for a fruity brightness. The heart turns floral and powdery with orange blossom, iris and rose. Musk, patchouli and amber set the base, leaving it creamy, woody and sweet. Amado Intuitive and Burberry Body (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Malibu

4.8

Playboy · 2009

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Playboy Malibu is a light men's fragrance with a fresh, citrusy and aquatic character; it has been discontinued. It opens bright and fruity with lemon, apple, lemon vervain, mint and neroli. In the heart, jasmine, iris, coriander and cedarwood add a floral, slightly spicy side. The base of musk, sandalwood, tonka bean and cashmere wood softens it and adds a little sweetness, with a green, synthetic edge running through. Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, sport and daily wear. It reads masculine and modern. Nautica Nautica (Cologne) and Joop! Nightflight (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

The base of musk, orris root and sandalwood leaves it on a soft, powdery footing. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters place it in leisure and daily wear, with office use not far behind, and fewer pick it for evenings or nights out. It is classed as a women's fragrance.
