Eau de Toilette

Worth pour Homme Eau de Toilette is a classic-leaning masculine chypre fougère that pairs citrus and green notes with a woody, leathery base; it has been discontinued. It opens with the brightness of mandarin orange, bergamot and petitgrain, while lavender, rosemary, cinnamon and nutmeg add a spicy, herbal edge. In the heart, geranium, green notes, pine needle and carnation come forward. The base of vetiver, oakmoss, leather and cedar settles into an earthy, dry ground, softened a little by tonka bean and musk. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, with summer next, and daytime, office and leisure wear lead the occasions. Nearly half of voters call it masculine, and a good share call it classic.

Worth Miss Worth is a floral, sweet and powdery women's chypre that has been discontinued. It opens with aldehydes, galbanum and peach, with bergamot and hyacinth softening the green, fruity start. At the heart, jasmine, rose, lilac and iris form a full bouquet, while honey adds sweetness. As it dries, musk, raspberry, moss and sandalwood settle into a creamy, powdery base with a light spicy edge. Moss keeps the chypre structure in place, with frankincense and cedar staying in the background. Le Galion Megara and Revlon Moon Drops have a close profile.
