Classic Collection: Aqua Orientalis - Bahou

Florascent · 2008

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Florascent Classic Collection: Aqua Orientalis - Bahou is a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex scent that suits autumn and winter evenings. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and leisure wear leading. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Half of voters read it as feminine and about a third as masculine, so it sits comfortably on either side. It opens with saffron, clove and turmeric, and that spicy start turns to the resinous warmth of myrrh and opoponax in the heart. The base of oud, sandalwood and frankincense leaves an earthy, smoky woodiness. The overall feel is sweet and oriental. Amouage Interlude Man and Profumum Roma Patchouly have a close profile.

Les Exclusives - Cinnambre

8.5

Florascent · 2011

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Florascent Les Exclusives - Cinnambre is a floral fragrance for women that pairs bright citrus with a sweet, gourmand and resinous warmth. It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange, a sparkling citrus note. In the heart, jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang build a full floral core, while benzoin and vanilla in the base sweeten it into a powdery, resinous warmth. Spicy and smoky tones stay in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it sits closer to the skin than it projects. Voters rate it well, though the number of votes is small. ID Parfums Jardin de Bali and Esteban Ambrorient have a close profile.
