Isleta

D:SOL MMXVI · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

D:SOL MMXVI Isleta is a unisex scent that opens with green mandarin orange, bergamot and juniper leaf, then moves into fig and jasmine sambac. It starts fresh and citrusy, with juniper leaf and monarda adding a green, lightly spicy edge. In the heart, fig and jasmine sambac bring a soft, fruity and floral feel, kept light by white tea and clary sage. The base settles on sandalwood, amyris and patchouli, giving it a woody footing. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. It reads as fresh and easy rather than heavy, and it suits men and women alike. Its profile is close to Alterra Natural Spirit Eau Fraîche and Strangers Parfumerie Oliver.

Bad Lily

TALE Parfum · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Green

TALE Parfum Bad Lily is a green, floral unisex scent that opens on galbanum, cyclamen and nettle. The opening is fresh, green and slightly sharp, built on galbanum, cyclamen and nettle. In the heart, lily of the valley, datura and solanum bring the floral side forward while the greenery stays present. The base of musk, patchouli, damson plum and tree moss sets it on an earthy, woody footing, with spicy and synthetic touches running through it. Michael Nordstrand is the perfumer. Its profile is close to Diptyque Eau de Lierre and Lengling Figolo.

Wandering Rain

7.2

Future Society · 2026

Fresh · Aquatic · Synthetic

Future Society Wandering Rain is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent built around blue lotus, pear and black tea. Pear and citrus notes give it a cool, lightly fruity brightness, while blue lotus softens that into something like damp air. Eucalyptus and violet leaf add a green, crisp chill. Black tea brings a dry, faintly spicy edge, and orris root with musk keeps everything on a clean, powdery footing. Synthetic, woody and earthy touches sit quietly in the background. Imaginary Authors Every Storm a Serenade and Le Labo Baie 19 have a close profile.
