This Is Really Him!

Zadig & Voltaire

Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Green Stravaganza

Massimo Dutti

Cristal Zest

Without a stated top, the perfume opens directly on petitgrain and basil — a dry green-aromatic chord with petitgrain's bitter-citrus woody edge and basil's herbal sharpness.

swe·pow·flo·lac

MSK 004/NTL

van·pat·flo·cit

Trussardi · 2011

Trussardi Donna Trussardi 2011 Eau de Parfum

Yuzu opens with a clean, slightly bitter citrus — sharper than lemon, more rind than juice.

cho·swe·pow·flo

Trussardi · 2006

Inside

Coffee and almond, opened on a freesia stem.

van·cit·car·lac

A Sweet Pastry in Paris

A Sweet Pastry in Paris opens with a clean wedge of lemon — bright but quickly softened — before sliding into the heart, where sugar cane gives the impression of caramelized syrup more than fresh juice.

iri·lav·lea·swe

Givenchy · 2017

Gentleman Givenchy Givenchy 2017 Eau de Toilette

Created by Olivier Cresp and Nathalie Lorson, Gentleman 2017 revives the Givenchy Gentleman name after a decades-long hiatus with a deliberate tension between classical fougère structure and contemporary wood-amber orientalism.

lav·woo·ear·fre

Dolce & Gabbana · 2020

K Dolce & Gabbana 2020 Eau de Parfum

K EDP is a Mediterranean aromatic that takes the K EDT formula and runs it deeper.

cit·ear·aro·pat

Dolce & Gabbana · 2019

K Dolce & Gabbana 2019 Eau de Toilette

Blood orange opens with a sharp, slightly bitter citrus edge — more pith than juice, which keeps it from reading sweet.

fre·fru·swe·sof

Viktor & Rolf · 2019

Spicebomb Night Vision Viktor & Rolf 2019 Eau de Toilette

Granny Smith apple snaps open with a tart, almost cider-like green bite that the pyramid lists first, immediately followed by green mandarin’s softer, zestier citrus that keeps the top bright rather than sour.

amb·iri·woo·smo

Givenchy · 2022

Gentleman Eau de Parfum Reserve Privée

Reserve Privée takes the original Gentleman structure and drapes it in a quieter, more resinous glow.

van·cit·woo·swe

Mandarina Duck · 2014

Black Extreme

Black Extreme starts with bergamot — clean and slightly sharp — before orange blossom and a fresh orange note move in, nudging the composition toward a soft, creamy floral-citrus territory.

rum·lav·woo·smo

Chopard · 2000

Casran

A late-90s aromatic-oriental for men.

iri·pow·aro·fre

Givenchy · 2021

Gentleman Eau de Toilette Intense

The Gentleman line's modern era is defined by iris — not the buttery, powdery orris root of older French perfumery but something colder and more structural.

whi·aro·oud·sof

Mirror Mirror Collection - Miroir des Majestes

Miroir des Majestés opens with a sharp, resinous burst of cardamom that quickly gives way to something more enveloping.

lav·swe·iri·war

Givenchy · 2018

Gentleman Eau de Parfum

The opening strikes a sharp contrast: bright lavender smoothed by bergamot, then jolted awake by cracked black pepper.

Chloe Innocence

Chloe Innocence opens with a brief flash of bergamot before settling into a soft, powdered floral heart.

aro·woo·fre·gre

Givenchy · 2019

Gentleman Cologne

Gentleman Cologne opens with the brisk clarity of citrus—petitgrain's slightly bitter green edge tempered by lemon and bergamot that feel more functional than ornamental.

van·mus·woo·bal

Boucheron · 2017

Vanille de Zanzibar

Vanille de Zanzibar opens with pear and a pinch of jasmine — the pear cool and watery, the jasmine clean rather than indolic, setting up a soft fruity-floral overture before the vanilla arrives.

cit·aro·woo·fre

Antonio Banderas · 2021

Blue Seduction Energy Aqua

Lemon and bergamot provide a sharp citrus opening that merges with mint's cool freshness and lavender's aromatic herbality.

swe·whi·pow·war

Mandarina Duck · 2009

Pure Black

Bergamot opens with a brief citrus clarity before the composition settles into its warmer center.

cin·pat·amb·lea

O Boticário · 2021

The Blend Cardamom

The Blend Cardamom opens with a sharp aromatic burst: bergamot and ginger spark the top, with cardamom and black pepper layered underneath, lending an immediate spiced warmth.

cit·woo·flo·fre

Trussardi · 2022

Trussardi Donna Levriero Limited Edition

Yuzu and bergamot create a bright citrus opening with tart and aromatic qualities.

gre·mos·woo·ear

Mandarina Duck · 2016

Black & Red

Violet leaf introduces a crisp, green metallic edge that dominates the opening with its aqueous character.

tob·mus·cit·woo

Trussardi · 2006

Trussardi Inside for men

A green-citrus opening: yuzu sharper than lemon, basil sitting just behind it, bergamot giving the whole top a familiar Italian-cologne shape.

iri·pat·amb·lea

Lalique · 2015

Encre Noire a l'Extreme

Encre Noire a l'Extreme takes the original's dark vetiver premise and pushes it toward the ceremonial.

cit·mus·aro·woo

Silver Sparkle

Lime and lemon open with a sharp, effervescent citrus sparkle that feels bright and slightly tart.

pow·iri·mus·lac

Lancôme · 2018

Iris Dragees

A dusting of powdered sugar over candied almonds—Iris Dragées opens with a soft pink pepper sparkle that quickly dissolves into its namesake sweetness.

whi·cit·woo·fre

Christian Lacroix · 2001

Eau Florale

Violet leaf and bergamot open the fragrance on a green, slightly sharp note — the leaf giving a cool, watery edge before anything floral surfaces.

whi·amb·van·bal

Mauboussin · 2013

Mauboussin l'Elixir pour Elle

Gardenia dominates the opening, its creamy white petals fleshed out by jasmine’s greener indole edge and a soft, lemon-tinged rose that keeps the bouquet from turning syrupy.

war·fre·woo·amb

Zadig & Voltaire · 2017

Capsule Collection This Is Him!

Grapefruit cuts a bright, slightly bitter arc across the opening, its zest sharpening the edges of black pepper that rides just beneath.

ros·swe·flo·van

Lancôme · 2017

Parfait de Roses

A rose perfume that refuses to whisper.

iri·vio·ear·woo

Boucheron · 2017

Iris de Syracuse

A crisp pear opening tempered by black pepper announces a composition more poised than its fruity start suggests.

flo·gre·whi·fre

Remember Me

Remember Me opens with yuzu and bergamot — a citrus pairing that leans Japanese rather than Mediterranean, giving the opening a cleaner, crisper character than Dior's more traditional citrus-floral structures.

cit·ear·lav·woo

Lalique · 2013

Encre Noire Sport

A citrus-vetiver flanker that strips away the original Encre Noire's brooding darkness in favor of brightness and movement.

ear·woo·aro·mus

Lalique · 2006

Encre Noire

Encre Noire opens with a dark, almost mineral vetiver that feels pulled from damp earth rather than distilled for polish.

cin·amb·mus·flo

Boucheron · 1999

Jaipur Saphir

The opening is a jolt of tart yuzu lifted by green cardamom—not sweet, but astringent and spiced, more wake-up call than invitation.

rum·sof·swe·fru

Nature's · 2017

Pepe Fondente

Black Pepper provides a sharp spicy opening that quickly melds with juicy Blackberry and indolic Jasmine.

tub·van·whi·swe

Amouage · 2018

Love Tuberose

The opening is an almost narcotic wall of white florals—tuberose and gardenia pushed to the edge of indolic heaviness, undercut by jasmine's brightness.

tub·van·amb·flo

Grain de Folie

A creamy white-floral oriental that opens with a thin slice of lime and barrels straight into the heart.

cit·whi·flo·aro

Chopard · 2017

Neroli a la Cardamome du Guatemala

A citrus-floral cologne in miniature.

van·pow·woo·war

Pascal Morabito · 2012

Or Boreal

Jasmine and freesia open with a bright white-floral character, quickly grounded by bergamot's citrus freshness.

cit·fre·flo·aqu

Trussardi · 2017

Trussardi Donna Goccia a Goccia

Yuzu opens with a tart, almost effervescent sparkle that quickly folds into lemon’s sharper edge, creating a citric flash that feels chilled rather than sweet.

lav·fre·aro·vio

Bentley · 2015

Infinite Intense

Lavender, black pepper, and violet open Infinite Intense with a combination that doesn't quite fit any category — the lavender is classic masculine, the pepper adds heat, and the violet introduces a cool, powdery sweetness that softens the opening into something more ambiguous.

flo·amb·woo·hon

Givenchy · 2000

Oblique Rewind

Bergamot opens crisp and clear before melting almost immediately into a honeyed jasmine heart — the citrus acts less as a top note and more as a brightener for what follows.

pow·amb·vio·iri

Paul Smith · 2009

Paul Smith Man

The opening pairs yuzu and bergamot with a small star-anise twist, citrus-bright with a faint liquorice cool that gives the first minutes a slightly unusual edge.

fru·swe·flo·cit

Neon Candy

Pink pepper crackles first, a fizzy sparkle that lifts the bergamot into a neon brightness.

smo·war·van·woo

Zadig & Voltaire · 2016

This Is Him!

This Is Him opens with a jolt of black pepper and grapefruit—crisp citrus cut with heat, more rock show than boardroom.

smo·mos·woo·fre

Montana · 2011

Graphite

Cool violet leaf and bergamot meet a peppery crack on the opening, dry and slightly metallic, the kind of clean grey-green that earns the bottle's name in the first thirty seconds.

alm·nut·woo·pat

Zadig & Voltaire · 2012

Tome 1 - La Pureté for Him

Almond leads immediately at the opening, clean and slightly sweet, anchored by bergamot that keeps it from feeling too confectionery.

flo·cit·fre·van

Trussardi · 2019

Trussardi Donna Eau de Parfum Intense

Yuzu opens with a bright, tangy citrus note that is both refreshing and slightly sour.

lea·smo·war·cin

Bentley · 2013

Bentley for Men Intense

The opening strikes with a sharp, cold bergamot brightness that black pepper lifts into something almost metallic—polished chrome rather than warmth.

whi·coc·swe·fre

Alien Goddess Intense

Coconut milk and bergamot arrive together, tropically bright but tempered by a soft, grounding warmth.

ros·van·cit·woo

Azzaro Pour Elle

Azzaro Pour Elle opens cleanly: orange provides a bright, solar citrus, and cardamom adds just enough warmth to keep the opening from reading as generic.

fre·swe·aro·ani

Bentley · 2013

Bentley for Men

Bentley For Men opens with a brisk snap of black pepper and bergamot that quickly gives way to something warmer and more indulgent.

swe·woo·amb·lav

Bentley · 2017

Momentum Intense

The opening arrives with a bright lavender-bergamot blast that feels scrubbed and athletic, more spa towel than barbershop.

pow·war·amb·van

Emirates Pride Perfumes · 2024

Masters

Cardamom leads with its warm, aromatic spice, giving an immediate soft-spicy impression.

Dolce & Gabbana · 2003

Sicily

The opening is a flood of sun-warmed citrus and orange blossom—bright without sharpness, honeyed without heaviness.

oud·ros·woo·amb

Mirror Mirror Collection - Miroir des Voluptes

Miroir des Voluptés is the most opulent entry in Mugler's Mirror Mirror Collection.

whi·fru·woo·van

Montana · 1994

Suggestion Eau d'Or

Peach fuzz and violet leaf land first, a fuzzy-fruit top that feels almost lactonic against cool bergamot.

woo·cit·amb·whi

Zadig & Voltaire · 2024

This Is Really Him!

Lemon and grapefruit create a sharp, effervescent opening that feels like carbonated citrus zest rather than fresh juice.

cit·swe·aro·fre

Valentino · 2024

Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Green Stravaganza

Bergamot opens briefly with a clean citrus lift before coffee asserts itself as the dominant character.

swe·cit·woo·aro

Moschino · 2011

Moschino Forever

Star anise opens with a sharp, licorice-tinged brightness that cuts through the air—almost medicinal at first, softened slightly by bergamot's citrus glow.

woo·fre·amb·ozo

Armand Basi · 2013

Wild Forest

Nutmeg gives the opening a dry, slightly soapy lift, the kind of warm-cool spice that reads more aftershave than gourmand.

sof·woo·aro·war

Oriflame · 2014

Giordani Man Notte

Black Pepper crackles at the top, its dry heat snapping open the scent before a dark, jammy Plum and the oily bitterness of roasted Coffee take over.

woo·smo·flo·mus

Yves Rocher · 2007

Ode au Reve

Ode au Rêve opens with a whisper of sandalwood that feels more resinous than woody, immediately setting a hushed, contemplative mood.

cit·mus·gre·fru

Biotherm · 2008

Eau Pure

Eau Pure hits immediately with a trio of citrus — lime sharpest, grapefruit providing bitter-sweet volume, lemon tying them together with familiar brightness.

lav·pat·ozo·mar

Issey Miyake · 2021

Fusion d'Issey Extrême

Fusion d'Issey Extrême takes the original's elemental premise and dials the warmth up.

pat·woo·fre·aro

Bentley · 2015

Infinite Eau de Toilette

Lavender and cedar open together — the lavender is clean and slightly herbal rather than barbershop, while the cedar adds a dry, linear backbone from the first breath.

fru·whi·amb·pat

Tous l'Eau pour le Corps

Black currant opens with a tart, almost wine-like tang that stains the jasmine’s creamy petals, creating a bruised-fruit floral accord that smells like petals dropped onto berry-stained skin.

van·mus·sof·fre

Parfums De Marly · 2013

Meliora

Meliora opens with a burst of tart black currant and raspberry, their juice-stained sweetness cutting through with surprising clarity before the florals arrive.

whi·flo·fru·pow

Gianfranco Ferré · 2016

Camicia 113 Eau de Toilette

Magnolia opens with a creamy white floral character that feels both fresh and slightly citrus-tinged from bergamot.

mus·amb·mos·ani

Le Labo · 2010

Another 13

Another-13 opens quietly, almost deceptively plain—a whisper of crisp apple and pear that vanishes before it settles.

iri·woo·pow·ear

Shiseido · 2000

Zen 2000

Bergamot opens, but only briefly — within minutes the heart takes over.

woo·flo·aro·ozo

Chopard · 2017

Magnolia Au Vetiver du Haiti

Despite the name, the listed pyramid leans more floral-woody than vetiver-driven.

pat·amb·flo·cit

Tous L’Eau Eau de Parfum

Lemon and mandarin orange open with a soft, juicy citrus brightness — gentler than the eau de toilette sibling, sweeter and more rounded.

fru·tro·swe·coc

Bonjour Señorita

Raspberry opens with a bright, juicy sweetness that mingles with bergamot's crisp citrus edge for an energetic introduction.

iri·ros·mos·ear

Lalique · 2006

Perles de

Perles de Lalique opens with a dewy, almost translucent rose—less floral bouquet than the scent of petals touched by morning mist.

flo·woo·whi·fru

Trussardi · 2011

Trussardi Donna (2011)

Trussardi Donna opens with a clean, citric brightness—yuzu's tart, faintly floral edge cutting through without shrillness.

lac·whi·tub·flo

Tuberose in Blue

Neroli opens bright and waxy, its orange-blossom oil shearing quickly to expose a creamy white-floral heart where tuberose dominates, supported by heliotrope's marzipan facet and freesia's watery lift.

aro·cit·gre·fre

Azzaro Aqua Frost

ros·hon·flo·whi

Boucheron · 2013

Place Vendôme

Place Vendôme opens with the kind of confidence one expects from a jeweler at the center of Parisian luxury: pink pepper and orange blossom alongside rose, warm and polished from the first note.

Dolce & Gabbana · 1999

D'G Feminine

Mimosa opens it alone — a single top note serving as a bright, honeyed-green curtain before the florals arrive.

flo·fru·whi·aro

Coach Dreams Sunset

Coach Dreams Sunset opens with a brief flicker of bergamot that quickly dissolves into something softer and warmer.

Chopard · 2017

Vetiver d'Haiti au the Vert

The provided pyramid is sparse: amber, cedar, musk, with magnolia and pink pepper threading through.

van·pow·iri·her

Bvlgari · 1997

Petits et Mamans

Petits et Mamans is designed to be safe enough for newborns — a context that shapes every compositional decision.

smo·mos·woo·ear

Olfactive Studio · 2011

Autoportrait

The opening is deceptively bright—bergamot flares and fades, leaving room for what lies beneath.

woo·whi·pat·war

Boucheron · 2019

Patchouli d’Angkor

Pear and bergamot open with a soft fruitiness, lightly tart, before jasmine moves in with a green, slightly indolic presence.

fru·gre·woo·cit

Lalique · 2018

Electric Purple

Grapefruit opens with a tart citrus spark that is immediately cooled by a sharp mint freshness.

whi·woo·lea·swe

Thameen · 2024

Chords

Neroli bursts first: neroli and orange blossom pour a honeyed white-floral brightness that feels almost sticky, while bergamot slices a cool citrus edge through the sugar.

mos·lav·fre·aro

Paul Smith · 2000

Paul Smith Men

Lavender and basil set a herbaceous, slightly bitter top, with orange and bergamot lending sweetness to keep the opening bright rather than medicinal.

woo·aro·fre·fre

Cool Water Deep

An apple-led top — green and slightly tart rather than sweet — gives way quickly to clary sage, the herbal pivot that pulls the opening away from anything fruity.

oud·cit·fre·fru

Mandarina Duck · 2006

Mandarina Duck Man

Blood orange, grapefruit, and peach open with a fruity-citrus burst that is bright and slightly sweet.

flo·pow·cho·swe

Amouage · 2016

Lilac Love

Lilac Love opens with a cascade of white and pastel florals that feel surprisingly light despite their richness—gardenia and jasmine lead, softened by heliotrope's powdery sweetness and the dewy transparency of peony.

lea·war·ani·whi

Amouage · 2015

The Library Collection Opus IX

The opening is immediate and unapologetic: peppercorn heat collides with bright jasmine, creating an oddly compelling tension between spice and white flower.

gre·cit·aro·fre

Mandarina Duck · 2013

Cool Black

Black pepper crackles first, a dry, dusty spark that lifts the bergamot’s thin citrus oil into something almost ginger-hot.

fru·war·whi·lac

Jimmy Choo · 2018

Jimmy Choo Fever

The opening strikes with a rush of lychee and grapefruit that's almost neon-bright, quickly anchored by a deep plum accord that pulls the sweetness into darker territory.

vio·woo·ear·fre

Gianfranco Ferré · 2015

Camicia 113

A crisp white shirt in liquid form—Camicia 113 opens with magnolia and bergamot that feel freshly laundered rather than sweet, the peony adding a cool, watery brightness.

mus·cit·flo·fru

Trussardi · 2008

Trussardi Inside Delight

Lemon zest cuts through a creamy magnolia opening, the citrus shaping the flower into something cleaner and less heady than magnolia tends to land on its own.

mos·cit·fre·war

Angel Schlesser · 2007

Esprit de Gingembre Pour Femme

Bergamot leads with a restrained citrus opening — clean and uncomplicated, not particularly bright or tart.

iri·lea·woo·fru

David Beckham · 2018

Classic Touch

Apple and pear tumble out first, crisp and lightly sweet, while grapefruit slices their sugar with a bitter citrus edge.

swe·fre·aqu·aro

Trussardi · 2020

Trussardi Donna Pink Marina

The opening is bright and direct—melon and lemon mingle without turning syrupy, more airy than sweet.

woo·van·swe·whi

Lalique · 2022

Soleil Vibrant

A bright, luminous opener of ginger and pear over bergamot — the ginger snapping slightly against the soft pear, the bergamot pulling everything toward citrus-cologne territory.

pow·fru·van·flo

Mexx Waterlove Woman

Melon and apricot create a watery-sweet splash that feels like chilled fruit salad left by the pool.

cit·pat·woo·war

Angel Schlesser · 2020

Profound Orange Wood

Orange opens bright and juicy, its sweet zest immediately tempered by the bitter-green edge of petitgrain that shadows it within the first minutes.

cit·mus·swe·pow

Parfums De Marly · 2021

Oriana

Oriana opens with a vivid spray of grapefruit and bergamot, bright and almost effervescent, before raspberry arrives with its characteristic sweet-tart intensity.

flo·fru·cit·fre

Oriflame · 2017

Lucia Bright Aura

The opening is bright and slightly tart — green apple and white currant together read clean and green, with lemon peel sharpening the freshness.

lav·pat·amb·mar

O Boticário · 2023

Arbo Intenso

Arbo Intenso opens with tropical citrus — pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon together, bright and slightly sweet but dry rather than candied.

flo·fre·gre·whi

Trussardi · 2016

Trussardi Donna Eau de Toilette

The opening carries a translucent brightness—melon's clean sweetness lifted by yuzu's citrus snap.

lav·whi·aro·woo

Lalique · 2020

Imperial Green

Lavender opens Imperial Green with a cool, slightly camphoraceous bite that feels like snapping a fresh sprig between your fingers.

flo·whi·mus·woo

Voile de Jasmin

A delicate, transparent white floral built around jasmine at its most ethereal.

pat·aro·fre·woo

David Beckham · 2016

Beyond Forever

Bergamot and nutmeg open with a light, slightly spiced citrus quality — the nutmeg adds warmth without dominance.

lav·iri·swe·aro

Givenchy · 2017

Gentleman (2017)

The 2017 reformulation of Givenchy's Gentleman opens with a bracing jolt of pear and pineapple, their brightness tempered by cardamom's resinous warmth.

flo·cit·mus·woo

Mandarina Duck · 2004

Mandarina Duck

The brand's namesake fragrance opens with a crisp bergamot that feels more functional than ornate, setting a clean backdrop rather than commanding attention.

Folie Douce

Folie-Douce opens with a sharp citrus brightness that quickly mellows into something quieter and more disarming.

fru·ros·mus·swe

Lalique · 2007

Amethyst

Amethyst announces itself with a tart burst of blackberry and black currant, their juice-stained sweetness cutting through the air with the kind of immediacy that made fruity florals ubiquitous in the late 2000s.

swe·van·fru·flo

Playboy · 2015

Play It Sexy Pin Up

Peach lifts the opening with syrupy orchard sweetness that clings to skin like canned nectar.

van·swe·flo·fru

van·swe·pow·whi

A plush white-floral composition that opens with a brief shimmer of citrus and rose before surrendering entirely to its heady heart.

alm·van·fru·cit

Roberto Cavalli · 2010

Just Cavalli I Love Her

Bergamot opens alone with a clean citrus brightness that fades quickly, serving as a brief introduction before the heart takes over.

woo·ear·cit·fre

The Smart Set

Grapefruit snaps open with a bitter-pith edge that bergamot softens into a cool citrus flash.

whi·woo·swe·fru

Roberto Cavalli · 2013

Just Cavalli

Just Cavalli opens with a sharp, clean neroli that feels almost medicinal in its intensity—bright citrus peel crossed with white flowers, airy and unsweetened.

iri·mus·flo·ros

Boucheron · 2013

Place Vendome Eau de Toilette

Place Vendôme EDT opens with one of the more distinctive top-note groupings in contemporary feminines — yuzu's bright, slightly rough citrus sits alongside peony's watery soapiness and osmanthus's apricot-and-suede quality, producing an opener that reads simultaneously fresh and quietly complex.

mar·flo·fre·aqu

Artistique Nymphea Lumière

Lotus opens cool and watery — the quintessential aquatic-floral note, faintly green, faintly powdery.

pow·swe·woo·flo

Lalique · 2013

ros·aqu·gre·fre

Trussardi Delicate Rose

A yuzu and bamboo opening gives Delicate Rose an almost aqueous transparency, like light filtering through paper screens.

Peach and orange open soft and juicy, the peach more fuzzy-skin than canned, the orange adding a brighter citrus lift.

Bergamot flashes first, a bright citrus blade that shears the pear’s aqueous sugar and keeps the top from slipping into jam.

My Euphoria

My Euphoria repositions the Euphoria lineage with darker materials: black currant's tart-jammy quality leads, then a heart that pairs tuberose's white intensity with orchid's diffuse exoticism and sesame's faint nutty creaminess—an unusual combination that gives the middle phase genuine texture.
