Nirmal

7.2

Laboratorio Olfattivo · 2010

Fresh · Floral · Green

Laboratorio Olfattivo Nirmal is a unisex scent that turns carrot, violet and orris root into a green, powdery floral, opening fresh and settling into a sweet, woody warmth. Carrot brings a cool, green freshness at the top, while violet and orris root in the heart push the scent towards a powdery, floral line. In the base, amber, suede and cedarwood join the sweetness to a leathery, woody warmth, with a spicy touch running behind. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the settings it is placed in most often. It reads slightly more feminine than masculine, though plenty of voters call it masculine. Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood and Gucci Flora by Gucci Generous Violet have a close profile.

Post Hume

7.1

Son Venïn · 2019

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Son Venïn Post Hume is a sweet, spicy and smoky unisex scent built around cinnamon, tobacco and clove. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Masculine and feminine readings are close, so it sits between the two. Cinnamon opens with a warm spice, with tobacco and clove in the heart. In the base, vanilla and tonka bean sweeten it, while vetiver, leather and smoky notes add a dark woody, earthy and resinous depth.
