Cashmere Wood

Paco Rabanne

A salted mandarin brightness crashes into powdered vanilla cream almost immediately—an odd but deliberate collision that defines Olympēa from the first spray.

Molinard

Secret Sucré opens with nougat — not a gourmand approximation but the actual confection's character: almondy, softly sweet, with a powdery warmth that settles immediately.

Jaguar

An opening of rosemary, black pepper, and green apple positions this as a crisp aromatic — the apple contributes brightness without sweetness, staying firmly in herbal territory alongside the medicinal edge of the rosemary.

Stephane Humbert Lucas 777

Sand Dance by Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 opens with whiskey and anise — the kind of pairing that declares intentions immediately: this is a gourmand-Oriental, serious and slightly decadent.

Paco Rabanne

Olympéa Flora extends Paco Rabanne's goddess franchise toward something cooler and more mineral than its predecessors.

Carolina Herrera

Carlos Benaïm and Clement Gavarry construct Carolina around an unusual heart placement: black pepper in the middle of the composition alongside rose and forest fruits, where the spice sits as a structural element rather than an opening gambit.

Juicy Couture

Hollywood Royal is Juicy Couture at its most confidently maximalist — an unapologetic fruit-floral-gourmand that embraces sweetness as identity rather than as afterthought.

Roja Parfums

The opening is a bright citrus flourish — bergamot, lemon, and orange in confident, sunlit combination, pineapple arriving in the heart to give the fruit register a tropical underpinning before jasmine pulls the composition toward something more formal.

Dsquared2

Mint and thyme crack open cold and herbal, mint leading with a glassy chill while thyme adds a dry medicinal edge.

Bond No. 9

Manhattan opens with a dense collision of saffron, ripe peach, bergamot, and nutmeg — immediately rich, the fruits pushing forward while the spice adds a savory backbone that prevents it reading as simple gourmand.

Victoria'S Secret

Seduction Dark Orchid opens with a volley of tropical fruit — pineapple, yuzu, and blood orange — before settling into its true purpose: a dense, almost bruising floral heart built around black orchid, jasmine, and arum lily.

Avon

Intrigue opens on a gentle tension between soft cotton flower and the dry bite of black pepper — a contrast that makes the opening feel more composed than simply floral.

L'Artisan Parfumeur

Aliénor Massenet's approach to the house's founding obsession — vanilla — routes it through an unusual marine structure.

Avon

Rare Diamonds opens with the dusty-sweet combination of plum blossom and guava, a tropical softness that doesn't lean syrupy.

Bond No. 9

The opening is a spiced-fruit burst — cinnamon and nutmeg turning around a dark, jammy plum, bright mandarin playing counterpoint.

M. Micallef

Glamour opens on a cluster of fruit and spice that reads as a market stall at golden hour — ripe peach and apple cut through sweetness with cinnamon and saffron giving the opening an almost edible warmth.

Dolce & Gabbana

Velvet Incenso earns its name honestly.

O Boticário

The name translates to "Vanilla Sky" and the opening earns it: lemon and pink pepper flash briefly, bright and slightly spiced, before giving way almost immediately to something warmer.

O Boticário

Zaad Vision opens on aromatic green-spice territory: rosemary and thyme give it an herbal, almost medicinal bite while nutmeg and mandarin orange tighten the threshold into something drier and warmer than a simple fougère.

Victoria'S Secret

Sexy Little Things opens with crisp apple and osmanthus — the latter contributing a buttery, faintly apricot quality — balanced against water lily's clean aquatic lift.

Oriflame

Raspberry and pink grapefruit open with a pop of tartness cut by a jasmine note that keeps it from reading as fruit juice.

Paco Rabanne

Black XS Potion for Him opens with juniper — gin-dry, slightly resinous — then drifts into a heart of cashmere wood and wormwood that reads more bitter-aromatic than sweet.

Avon

Love to the Fullest opens on a single note of juicy black cherry — direct and sweet, without much preamble.

Zara

Black pepper crackles first, a dry spark that lifts bergamot’s bright oil and mint’s cool blade into a brisk, aromatic flash.

Avon

60's Mod opens with a sharp, spiced accord — black pepper and plum together create a dark fruit character that registers more assertive than sweet.

Salvatore Ferragamo

Incanto Bloom opens transparently — freesia in its bright, slightly peppery register, laid against grapefruit blossom rather than the fruit itself.

Avon

A solar floral built around narcissus — green-edged, honey-touched, faintly indolic, and distinctively different from the more familiar white florals it often appears alongside.

Avon

Bond Girl 007 Forever opens with a tart brightness — citron and black currant sharpened by a rhubarb edge that keeps the opening from tipping into sweetness.

Oriflame

Infinita opens with a citrus-floral-spice cluster that reads as one bright impression: kumquat and mandarin supply fresh sourness, pink pepper adds edge, and jasmine weaves through from the start.

Calvin Klein

Euphoria Essence opens with a concentrated pulse of blackberry and raspberry, both tartly ripe, edged with pink pepper that keeps the sweetness from going soft.

Carolina Herrera

Amethyst Haze opens on a clean spice accord — cardamom and pink pepper together create something sharp and dry, like the inside of an old spice cabinet.

Hugo Boss

A flanker named for a sea it never quite goes to.

Calvin Klein

Eternity for Men Intense opens assertively: bergamot and grapefruit carry the familiar citrus brightness of the Eternity lineage, but white pepper and black tea sharpen the opening into something with more edge.

Roja Parfums

Elixir Essence de Parfum opens on a single bergamot before unfolding one of the more powdered floral hearts in the Roja line — raspberry, ylang-ylang, heliotrope, peach, lily of the valley, violet, May rose.

Roja Parfums

Apex opens on a citrus trio — orange, lemon, bergamot — that's bright but already heavy at the edges, hinting at the resin pile beneath.

Zara

A soft, comfort-driven opening: cotton flower with magnolia gives the first impression of clean warmth and barely-there florality, nothing that demands attention.

Argos

Bergamot opens clean and citrus-bright, but the freshness is short-lived.

Roja Parfums

A bergamot opening cedes almost immediately to one of the densest white-floral hearts in the Roja catalogue: gardenia, tuberose, lily, lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, May rose — with a raspberry inflection that lifts the bouquet from indolic to slightly fruited.

Comme Des Garçons

Released in 2017 to mark fifty years since Andy Warhol's 1967 conceptual scent piece, this Maurice Roucel composition keeps a citrus aldehyde core but rebuilds it for a modern frame.

Zara

Memoire Intense is one of the fuller compositions in Zara's catalog — eight notes arranged in deliberate tiers.

Avon

Avon Essence opens with lavender and cardamom, a pairing that puts warm herbal structure and gentle spice up front in equal measure.

Balmain

Osmanthus and rose open with a fruity, slightly apricot-tinged warmth — osmanthus carries that characteristic stone-fruit softness that blurs the line between floral and gourmand without tipping into either fully.

Avon

Soie Rouge opens with the warm prickle of pepper over a sliver of orange zest and cashmere wood, giving the first impression a muted, textured warmth rather than sharp citrus clarity.

Oriflame

Sir Avebury opens with grapefruit, cypress, and bay leaf — a bracing herbal-citrus accord that is outdoorsy and slightly resinous.

Victoria'S Secret

Dream Angels Wish is the most ornate of the Dream Angels generation, an eight-note pyramid that walks deliberately from sparkle to soft.

Roja Parfums

Lavender opens this masculine fougère with a cool, slightly camphoraceous sting that the lime and lemon immediately sharpen into a metallic citrus edge.

Room 1015

Pink Pepper crackles at the top with a bright, fizzy heat that snaps the air open.

Câline

Jil Sander

Grapefruit and rose open with a tart citrus-floral duo, bright and slightly sharp against raspberry's sweet jammy fruitiness.

Perry Ellis

Star anise provides an immediate licorice-like warmth that is both aromatic and subtly sweet upon application.

Adolfo Dominguez

Neroli provides a bright, citrus-floral opening, while raspberry adds a sweet fruity accent that feels juicy and slightly tart.

Roja Parfums

Lavender, lemon, and bergamot create a bright aromatic citrus opening with herbal freshness.

Yves Saint Laurent

A 2017 limited bottle re-release of the 2014 Black Opium with the formula left intact — pear and pink pepper open onto coffee, almond, jasmine and licorice in the heart, then vanilla, patchouli, cedar and cashmere wood land in the base.

Bath & Body Works

Almond Vanilla opens with a citrus-and-pink-pepper sparkle that reads more like a champagne fizz than a real fruit segment — bright, warm, immediately tipping into the gourmand register the name promises.

Zara

Splendid Bronze opens floral and slightly powdery — jasmine and orange blossom indolic enough to register as adult, not the airy white-floral of mass-market fragrance.
