Mastic

Elizabeth Arden

Green Tea Bamboo opens with a spray of citrus — bright lemon, grapefruit, bergamot — and the sharp green bite of galbanum and bamboo stalk.

Cartier

Luxuriance is one of the four 2021 Rivières de Cartier — Mathilde Laurent's sketches of running water in scent — and reads exactly the way the line is meant to: deliberately partial, more concept than full pyramid.

Davidoff

The opening is a single bright stroke of mandarin, juicy but not sugary.

Calvin Klein

Eternity Cologne for Men opens on a bright, slightly soapy burst — aldehydes and juniper berries produce a classic cologne-like sparkle, with ginger underneath adding a dry, slightly warming bite.

Azzaro

A three-note structure done with intent, not by accident.
