Tolu Balsam

Paco Rabanne

The opening is sharper than you might expect—sage cutting through citrus like crushed herbs on cold stone.

Ormonde Jayne

The first breath delivers a silvery brightness—orange blossom cut with the herbal, slightly medicinal edge of clary sage.

Yves Saint Laurent

Opium announces itself as a cultural event as much as a fragrance.

Laurent Mazzone Parfums

Patchouli Bohème opens with a brief woody-green preface — geranium's slightly minty, rose-adjacent freshness alongside a general woodiness that signals this is not a sweet or floral composition.

Swiss Arabian

Shaghaf Men opens with orange, lemon, and lavender — a straightforward aromatic-citrus intro that positions itself firmly in the fresh masculine tradition before the composition starts layering in its more unexpected elements.

Bath & Body Works

Velvet Sugar is a full-tilt gourmand with surprising structural complexity.

Giorgio Armani

Named after the deep-blue gemstone found only near Tanzania's Kilimanjaro, Indigo Tanzanite opens with almond warmth and a thread of bergamot that keeps it from becoming cloying.

Pierre Guillaume

Caramel opens thick and burnt, immediately folding in roasted coffee to create a bitter-sweet espresso-bean accord that clings to the skin.

Kenzo

Power Cologne opens with a warm aromatic accord — bergamot lifts the citrus while coriander and cardamom add dry spice from the first spray.

Roja Parfums

A nocturnal animalic chypre that opens with a brief flicker of bergamot before plunging into the resins.

Roja Parfums

Parfum de la Nuit 2 opens on orange-lemon-bergamot — a polite citrus shell that lasts about as long as it takes to settle the bottle.

Aether Arts Perfume

Ambergris opens things in an austere, marine-animalic register — there is a density here from the first moment, with little in the way of brightness or lift.

Givenchy

Enflammé opens with coffee and labdanum simultaneously — no conventional top note here, just the immediate declaration of a dark, resinous composition.

Maison Mona di Orio

Benzoin dominates, pouring out a molten, resinous glow that clings like hot honey.

Yves Saint Laurent

Opium opens with a spice rack shaken loose by jasmine and plum — clove and pepper rush forward, bergamot lending a citrus scaffolding, the whole opening both declarative and deliberately exotic.

By Terry

Parti Pris opens with tuberose in full force — creamy, indolic, and slightly waxy.

O Boticário

Egeo Provoque strips back to a near-minimal architecture: narcissus, saffron, amber, and tolu balsam.
