Silver

Clandestine Laboratories

Fresh · Floral · Green

Clandestine Laboratories Silver is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, green character with a woody, resinous and smoky body. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote counts are small, so this is a tendency rather than a firm verdict. It doesn't lean toward either gender and reads as unisex. Blue lotus, mint and thyme bring coolness, set against pine moss and green pepper. Sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and pine resin build a woody, earthy base, warmed by amber and myrrh. Spicy and animal facets add depth, and the smoky accord shows through.

Pool Boy

8.0

Clandestine Laboratories · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Clandestine Laboratories Pool Boy is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent softened by fruity and floral touches; it has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated as good by those who voted, though the small number of votes means this is only a rough guide. As a unisex scent, it sits comfortably on both men and women. As a whole it reads aquatic and fresh, with lemon ice tea, guava and passion fruit adding a sweet, fruity brightness. Rose and iris bring a soft floral note, while lavender and hyssop add a green edge. Vetiver and tree moss give it an earthy depth.

Covert

9.3

Clandestine Laboratories · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Clandestine Laboratories Covert is a unisex scent that sets a fresh, citrusy start against a spicy, woody and resinous base. In Covert, bergamot and orange blossom give a bright, floral freshness. Clove leaf and cypriol add a spicy, faintly smoky edge, while cedar builds the woody frame. Opoponax, frankincense and Peru balsam carry the resinous depth, and ambroxan with white musk smooths everything onto a clean ground. The notes blend into a single line rather than separate stages: not sweet or heavy, but a dry scent where freshness and resin stay in balance. Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia IV and Eutopie No. 8 have a close profile.

Film Noir

8.3

Clandestine Laboratories

Clandestine Laboratories Film Noir is a unisex perfume built around oakmoss, honey and iris, deepened by oud and vanilla absolute. Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong, and most voters score each of them high, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tendency rather than a firm verdict. Being unisex, it can sit on a man or a woman alike. As a whole the scent is dense and dark: oakmoss, patchouli and vetiver lay an earthy base, while honey, vanilla absolute and tonka bean sweeten it. Iris and rose add a powdery floral layer, which neroli and French lavender lighten slightly. Nepalese pepper and pimento bring a spicy edge, and civet adds an animalic depth. Irié Héméra and Otentic Elegantia 8 have a close profile.

Master

8.0

Clandestine Laboratories · 2021

Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic

Clandestine Laboratories Master is a spicy, woody fragrance for men, built around cognac, leather and saffron. The notes are not split into top, heart and base but read as a single blend. Cognac and leather form a warm, leathery backbone, while saffron and tobacco add a spicy edge. Mandarin orange, lychee and bitter orange bring a fruity sweetness, which vanilla and cocoa deepen. Sandalwood, cedar, oud and frankincense give a woody, resinous base, and iris adds a soft powdery touch. The overall profile leans oriental. Those after a similar profile could also look at Ted Lapidus Oud Noir and Clive Christian C: Woody Leather.
