Patchouli of Rwanda

The 7 Virtues · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The 7 Virtues Patchouli of Rwanda is a fresh, citrusy floral that sets patchouli in a green, earthy frame, and it is described as a women's fragrance. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. The perfume has been discontinued and is aimed at women. Red grapefruit and freesia give it a fresh, floral-citrus feel. Green hibiscus adds a green tone, cedar blossom a woody side, and Rwandan patchouli an earthy depth. Fruity and spicy touches soften the accord. Lanvin Les Notes de Lanvin - I: Vetyver Blanc and The Different Company De Bachmakov have a close profile.

Lotus Blossom

6.3

Susanne Lang · 2010

Fresh · Floral · Aquatic

Susanne Lang Lotus Blossom is a fresh, floral perfume made for women, where aquatic and green touches lighten the flowers. Lotus, freesia, peach blossom, gardenia and lily come together as a single bouquet. The fresh and floral accords lead, while the aquatic and green sides keep the scent airy and the woody and powdery touches stay in the background. Those who rated it find its longevity good, though the number of votes is small, so that verdict is tentative. It is designed for women. Elizabeth Arden Ardenbeauty and Trussardi Jeans have a close profile.

Tamboti Wood

6.2

Susanne Lang

Fresh · Green · Woody

Susanne Lang Tamboti Wood is a fresh, green-tinged woody scent built from sandalwood, cedar, tamboti wood and vetiver. The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent runs as a single woody line from start to finish. Sandalwood and cedar form a dry, clean frame, while vetiver adds a green, earthy edge. Tamboti wood rounds out the woodiness, and the fresh accord keeps it light rather than heavy. It is a unisex profile, not leaning to either side. Longevity is rated moderate, though that rests on only a few votes. Terres Dorees Vétiver and Plantes & Parfums Eau du Ventoux Vétiver have a close profile.
