Reunion / Optico.re

Optico · 2016

Sweet · Gourmand · Oriental

Optico Reunion / Optico.re is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent, softened by powdery and creamy touches. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin without filling the room. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Sugar powder opens it on a sweet, powdery note. In the heart, ambrette seed, tonka bean and Siam benzoin add a resinous, oriental warmth. Vanilla and white musk leave it on a soft, creamy base, with a smoky edge staying in the background. Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka and Zara Tonka Obsession have a close profile.

Irmao

7.9

Monom · 2014

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Monom Irmao is a unisex scent built around vanilla, cinnamon and ginger, sweet and spicy with a smoky edge. The notes in Irmao aren't split into layers; they read as one blended whole. Vanilla and amber lay down a sweet, gourmand base, while cinnamon, ginger and clove add a warm spiciness. Vermouth brings a slightly dry line, and white tobacco and vetiver give a resinous, smoky depth. Heliotrope softens the sweetness. The character is mostly oriental; Unic Collection Vanille - Hot Vanilla and François Delì Sweet Tobacco have a close profile.

Pathos

9.0

Aquaflor

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Aquaflor Pathos is a men's fragrance that opens with pink pepper, citron and Calabrian bergamot and settles into a woody heart of vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Citrus and spice come first; the heart then builds an earthy, green fougère feel from vetiver, patchouli and lavender, softened by ylang-ylang and sandalwood. In the base, musk, tonka bean, oakmoss and ambergris anchor it in a resinous, slightly oriental chypre mood. The fresh, fruity first impression gradually turns deeper and woodier. Gritti 19-68 and Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme Summer 2014 have a close profile.

Sacro

7.8

Monom · 2014

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Monom Sacro is a sweet, spicy and woody unisex scent built around amber, oud and frankincense. In Sacro, amber, frankincense and oud form a resinous, smoky base. Vanilla and ylang-ylang sweeten it, while cistus and sandalwood add a warm, woody softness. Patchouli and vetiver bring an earthy weight, and coriander adds a spicy edge. An animal facet runs alongside the oriental character, so the whole reads dense and dark. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it comes across as one piece from start to finish. Armani Privé - Ambre Orient and Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense have a close profile.
