Béjar · 2014

Floral · Spicy · Woody

Béjar Secret Sandalwood is a unisex fragrance built on a soft, powdery woody base of sandalwood, musk and vanilla, with a floral and lightly spicy layer on top.

In the base, sandalwood, musk and vanilla dominate, while the oriental, resinous and slightly smoky accords keep the woody foundation warm. Nishane Santalové and Isabelle Ariana Parfums Mystic Wood have a close profile.

Béjar · 2014

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

With no season or occasion votes, nothing can be said about timing; its sweet, smoky build suits those who want a thick, warm-textured scent. It opens with vetiver and hibiscus, and the citrus accord gives a brief lift. The heart holds Sumatran benzoin, violet absolute and styrax, with the violet pulling the scent towards powdery.

Oud Secret

7.2

Ramón Molvizar · 2011

Floral · Synthetic · Spicy

Ramón Molvizar Oud Secret is a floral, spicy oriental with a powdery, resinous feel, built on oud, vanilla and cedar, and worn as a unisex scent. Its sillage is rated as good, and half of the voters call it strong, though only a few have voted. There is too little information on longevity, season or occasion to say when it suits best. It sits between masculine and feminine, working on either. The top opens with aniseed, geranium, blond woods and orange, so spice and bright freshness arrive together. Caraway, rose, violet and jasmine in the heart bring the floral side forward. The base of oud, vanilla, cedar and patchouli turns it sweeter and woodier as it dries. L'Occitane en Provence Oud & Rose and Swiss Arabian Sehr Al Sheila have a close profile.

It opens with geranium, bergamot and Bulgarian rose, giving a fresh, green first impression. In the heart, musk, magnolia and violet soften the rose. The base of Turkish rose, tuberose absolute, Texas cedar and Mysore sandalwood sets it on a woody footing, while fruity and spicy touches stay in the background.
