Escape the Ordinary

by MARYMARY · 2022

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

by MARYMARY Escape the Ordinary is a fresh, woody unisex scent built on Clearwood™, Javanol, Trisamber® and Timbersilk™. Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Voters spread the seasons fairly evenly, with autumn and winter slightly ahead. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. It doesn't commit to a masculine or feminine reading, and a modern character weighs most. As a whole the scent runs along a woody line, with a fresh, floral air over it. Sweetness and a powdery, creamy softness balance the firm wood notes, while the spice stays in the background. Its synthetic edge leaves a clean, tidy impression. Escentric Molecules Molecule 04 and Corps Volatils Expanded Carbon have a close profile.

Ibiza

7.5

Pure Island · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Pure Island Ibiza is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent that leans towards spring and summer, and towards leisure and daytime wear. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is used for daily wear, leisure, sport and the office. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. It leans masculine in the votes, though a fair share call it feminine, so it sits in between. The top is ginger, lemon, orange and grapefruit: citrus dominates, with the ginger adding a little spice. Marine notes and bergamot give the heart an aquatic freshness, and labdanum and amber settle it into an earthy, lightly warm base.

Bali

7.1

Pure Island · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Pure Island Bali pairs the brightness of orange with a warm base of sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla, in a unisex scent. Orange leads the opening, while ambrette seed and myrrh in the heart add a spicy, slightly powdery softness. The base of sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla settles in: the scent turns sweeter and rests on a woody, earthy ground. The overall impression runs from a fresh, floral, fruity start to a sweet, woody finish. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick summer, fall and spring, with winter chosen less often. It leans towards leisure, evenings and nights out, and also suits business and daily wear. It reads neither clearly feminine nor masculine, sitting somewhere between the two.

Dubai

7.1

Pure Island · 2023

Floral · Fruity · Spicy

Pure Island Dubai is a unisex fragrance that leans towards evenings and nights, setting a floral, fruity opening against a smoky, woody base. Mandarin orange and apple give a fresh, fruity brightness at first. In the heart, iris and rosewood add a soft floral and woody touch. The base is led by amber and oud, while the spicy, oriental, smoky and leathery accords give the scent a darker character. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though this rests on a small number of votes. Most voters pick it for a night out and for evenings, with fewer suggesting it for leisure or business.

Namasté

8.2

Friendly Hunting · 2016

Green · Spicy · Woody

Friendly Hunting Namasté is a green, woody unisex scent that leans towards fall and winter days. Woods, frankincense, grass and resins make up the scent. The green of the grass sits on a woody, resinous base; spicy, earthy and smoky accords pull it towards warmth rather than coolness, while a creamy softness takes the edge off. Voters find the longevity strong and the sillage good. Most pick fall and winter, and choose it mainly for leisure and evenings. Masculine and feminine votes run close, so it sits comfortably between the two. Alkemia Hexennacht and Rito Oltre have a close profile.

Eyes of Marrakesh

7.3

Friendly Hunting · 2016

Citrus · Fruity · Spicy

Friendly Hunting Eyes of Marrakesh is a unisex scent that sets the brightness of lime against the warmth of spices, wood and oud. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though both rest on only a few votes and should be read loosely. Votes spread across all four seasons, with summer and spring slightly ahead and autumn and winter close behind. It suits men and women alike and wears easily through the day. Citrus and fruity accords come through the lime, while the spices and oud settle it onto a warm, resinous base. The wood note ties the woody and oriental sides together, so a fresh brightness and an eastern depth sit side by side.

Cologne Xtreme

6.8

Duftwerk

It opens with orange blossom, while red plum and passion fruit shape the heart. Musk sits underneath and softens the whole.

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Voters pick leisure and daily wear most often, though business and evening get a fair share too. It reads neither masculine nor feminine. Its profile is close to Zara Boost My Feelings - No. 03 Holistic Flow and Yves Rocher Pur Désir de Fleur d'Oranger.

Duft der Demokratie

5.8

Blog der Republik · 2024

Floral · Green · Sweet

Blog der Republik Duft der Demokratie is a unisex scent that opens with birch leaf and linden blossom and carries white rose and carnation at its heart. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though only a few votes stand behind those ratings. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it is chosen most often for leisure and daily wear. Votes on character split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it sits somewhere between the two. Birch leaf and linden blossom give a green, lightly sweet start. In the heart, carnation, white rose and paper add a floral, spicy side. In the base, a sensual skin accord, fir and olive wood settle it onto a creamy, woody footing, with a faintly synthetic edge among the accords.

Sun & Sea

7.7

Friendly Hunting · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Friendly Hunting Sun & Sea is a fresh, citrusy women's fragrance, with aquatic and green touches that suit easy everyday wear. The scent is built on citrus notes, sea buckthorn and fern: bright, green and lightly fruity. Vetiver and musk set that freshness on a dry base, while Peru balsam adds a soft, sweet, powdery and creamy undertone in the background. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daytime and office wear, with evening and sport further behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin, though the small number of votes makes this a tentative read. Its profile is close to M. Micallef EdenFalls and Gritti Neroli Extreme.

Mariechen Macht Sich Schön

7.5

Duftwerk

Fresh · Fruity · Synthetic

Duftwerk Mariechen Macht Sich Schön is a unisex scent that pairs coconut, tobacco and blueberry, with a fresh, fruity face over a woody, leathery backdrop. Coconut and blueberry give it a sweet, fruity side, while tobacco, leathery notes and woody notes ground it in something dry and hide-like. Herbs add a fresh, green lift. The accords also carry a synthetic sheen with spicy and resinous touches. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin yet remains noticeable through the day. It sits between masculine and feminine and suits both. The votes are few, so these impressions are tentative. Niche 4 All Limon Oud and Chanel Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif have a close profile.

Mariechen Auf Wolke Sieben

6.5

Duftwerk

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Duftwerk Mariechen Auf Wolke Sieben is a fresh, floral women's fragrance, lightened by citrus and green tones and softened by a faint powdery touch. Rose, lilac and red fruits lead the scent. The floral side is freshened by aquatic and green accords, while the fruity note adds a little sweetness. Powdery and creamy accords soften that freshness. Its sillage is rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It reads as a feminine perfume. Guerlain Lovely Cherry Blossom and Guerlain Idylle Duet Jasmin-Lilas have a close profile.
