Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Eau de Parfum

aroma M Geisha Noire Eau de Parfum is a sweet, spicy woody oriental, warm, smoky and resinous, that suits the evenings of the cooler months. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions it leans towards. It is unisex, though most voters read it as more feminine. Sandalwood, tonka bean and black amber sit together from start to finish. The sweetness is held in check by spice, over a woody, powdery base with a faint animalic warmth and a smoky touch. Edward Bess Spanish Veil and Christian Louboutin Loubiprince have a close profile.

Geisha Vanilla Hinoki

7.7

aroma M · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Sweet

aroma M Geisha Vanilla Hinoki is a unisex scent built around cardamom, Moroccan vanilla and hinoki cypress, fresh, sweet and woody in character. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, then summer, while winter comes last. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, with evening and night out chosen less often.

Hinoki cypress, cedarwood and amyris form a woody frame, and patchouli and leather give it a smoky, leathery depth. Trussardi Behind the Curtain Piazza alla Scala and Costume National Soul have a close profile.

aroma M

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Perfume Oil

aroma M Geisha Rouge (Perfume Oil) is a unisex perfume oil that sets the spicy warmth of star anise, cinnamon and clove against sweet vanilla and tonka bean. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote counts are small, so that picture is not settled. It reads as unisex, suited to men and women alike. As an oil, it should sit close to the skin and leave a soft trail. The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent reads as one whole. The sweet, gourmand side comes from vanilla and tonka bean, while star anise, cinnamon and clove draw a spicy edge. Sandalwood and tobacco lay a woody floor, and powdery and fruity touches soften the sweetness.

Geisha Blanche (Eau de Parfum)

6.9

aroma M · 2000

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Eau de Parfum

aroma M Geisha Blanche Eau de Parfum is a fresh, floral and lightly fruity unisex scent, with a powdery side that leaves a soft, clean impression. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays noticeable on the skin without filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it can be worn by anyone. Jasmine and hyacinth build a floral base, while lychee softens it with a fruity, gently sweet touch. The fresh and powdery accords come forward, and a synthetic sheen gives the scent a clean, polished feel.

Geisha O-Cha

6.2

aroma M · 1997

Green · Sweet · Spicy

aroma M Geisha O-Cha is a green, sweet unisex scent that pairs Japanese green tea with vanilla. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Japanese green tea sets a green, earthy ground, while rosewood and clary sage add a spicy, woody edge. Vanilla and orange carry the sweetness, but they stay in the background and keep the scent light. Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it sits close to the skin as a quiet scent. With few votes behind these ratings, they are not definitive. It suits both women and men, and Akro Haze and Synapse Green Sand have a close profile.

Fruity · Sweet · Gourmand

Perfume Oil

aroma M Geisha Amber Rouge is a sweet, spicy perfume oil in which star anise, cinnamon and clove lean on Moroccan amber and resins.

The spices come first: star anise, cinnamon and clove sit on a sweet, fruity, gourmand base. Moroccan amber and resins add an oriental weight with a faintly animal, earthy edge. Voters rate it well overall. Serge Lutens Baptême du Feu and Pineward Revelries have a close profile.

7.3

aroma M · 2006

Guerlain Muguet 2014 and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Jasminora have a close profile.

Geisha Violet

6.3

aroma M · 2005

Fresh · Floral · Green

aroma M Geisha Violet is a unisex scent that starts fresh and floral, then softens into something sweet, powdery and faintly gourmand.

Since the notes have no top, heart and base split, the scent reads as one whole from start to finish. Berdoues 1902 - Violette and Lolita Lempicka Fleur Défendue / Forbidden Flower have a close profile.

Floral · Sweet · Woody
