Emirates Pride Perfumes

Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Green Stravaganza

aro·lav·mos·gre

Esencia Loewe 1988 Eau de Toilette

Petitgrain, bergamot, and lavender lead with a sharp, aromatic freshness — tarragon and galbanum adding an herbal, faintly bitter edge that keeps the opening from reading as purely citrus.

amb·sof·woo·flo

Naomi Campbell · 1973

Mystery

woo·aro·lav·fre

Moschino · 1997

Uomo? Moschino 1997 Eau de Toilette

With most of the composition concentrated in the heart and base, this reads as an aromatic woody driven by a few bold materials.

amb·van·mos·flo

Givenchy · 2006

Ange ou Démon Givenchy 2006 Eau de Parfum

Ange ou Démon opens with an unusual pairing of mandarin brightness against saffron's dense, resinous warmth — a contrast that justifies the angel/demon concept immediately.

ros·van·woo·fru

Guerlain · 1996

Champs-Élysées Guerlain 1996 Eau de Toilette

The opening is fruit-forward but not tropical — melon and peach are soft and slightly powdery, with almond adding a marzipan warmth and violet pulling in a cool floral tinge.

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.

hon·lea·tob·oud

Reine de Saba · 2022

Oud Précieux

Honey spreads first, thick and slightly waxy, drawing guaiac’s sharp smoke into a sticky leather accord that smells like cured tobacco leaves warmed on skin.

Mercedes-Benz · 2017

Mercedes Benz Club Black

The opening of Mercedes-Benz Club Black is all bergamot clarity—a bright, sharp citrus that disappears quickly to reveal what lies beneath.

swe·fru·pat·war

Angel Glamorama

Bergamot and coconut open with a tropical, slightly sweet brightness, melon adding a juicy freshness before jasmine steps in to keep it from reading as purely edible.

swe·fru·car·war

Angel Collector 2019

Pineapple and melon burst open with syrupy sweetness, coconut milk softening the edges while bergamot keeps the fruit from collapsing into candy.

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.

amb·van·ros·alm

Cacharel · 2002

Gloria

Gloria arrives with rose and amber together — an opening that skips the usual citrus foreplay and goes immediately warm.

fre·fru·aqu·war

Mercedes-Benz · 2016

Mercedes Benz Cologne

The opening strikes with bright grapefruit and pink pepper, a clean citrus bite that carries a peppery snap rather than sweetness.

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.

pat·van·fru·swe

Angel Eau de Parfum Rechargeable Edition 2015

aro·fre·lav·mus

Roberto Cavalli · 2006

Roberto Cavalli Black

Tarragon and bamboo open with a crisp, slightly anisic green snap, more culinary herb than garden.

lea·woo·pat·amb

Mercedes-Benz · 2015

Mercedes Benz Club Extreme

A short citrus glint from bergamot and mandarin opens the composition before the leather steps forward, dry and tannic rather than animalic.

car·swe·fru·woo

Show Collection Angel Extrait de Parfum

Melon and coconut splash first, giving a tropical, almost suntan-lotion brightness that the strawberry quickly sweetens into candy-like territory.

woo·pat·iri·pow

Givenchy · 2020

Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée

Gentleman Eau de Parfum Boisée opens with a crack of black pepper that feels more restrained than aggressive—enough heat to signal intent, but quickly absorbed into a dense, resinous cedar core.

cin·war·woo·van

Mercedes-Benz · 2019

Mercedes Benz Select Night

Select Night is Mercedes-Benz's most nocturnal entry—bergamot and cardamom open with energy and warm spice that signal the intent immediately.

Issey Miyake · 2011

L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Gold Absolute

swe·cho·car·fru

Angel Magic Star

Bergamot provides a brief citrus spark before peach and apricot dominate with lush stone fruit sweetness.

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.

woo·lav·sof·amb

Mercedes-Benz · 2018

Mercedes Benz Man Private

Cardamom opens cool and aromatic, the only top note carrying a clean spicy lift before the heart takes over.

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.

bal·aro·swe·fre

Paco Rabanne · 2014

Black XS Potion for Him

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.

woo·aro·fre·cit

Oriflame · 2021

Signature For Him Parfum

Pink pepper crackles first, a dry sparkle that lifts the lemon and bergamot into a bright, slightly rosy citrus flash.

woo·cit·lav·mos

Esencia pour Homme

Esencia Pour Homme opens with a rush of citrus and green herbs—lavender and tarragon cutting through bergamot and petitgrain with almost medicinal sharpness.

cin·hon·lea·car

Paco Rabanne · 2013

Black Xs l'Aphrodisiaque for Men

Cinnamon, saffron, and lemon open with a sharp bite — citrus quickly subsumed by the spices.

amb·fre·woo·war

Mercedes-Benz · 2015

Infinite Spicy by Olivier Cresp

Star anise opens with a sharp, slightly liquorice-tinged spice, more cool than hot.

cit·lav·mus·her

Parfums De Marly · 2019

Sedley

Sedley opens with a brisk citrus wave—mint, bergamot, and grapefruit colliding in a clean, almost athletic clarity.

Victoria'S Secret · 2021

Vs Him Deepwater

pat·mus·ear·flo

Yves Saint Laurent · 2008

Elle Summer Fragrance 2008

Ginger and peony open with a warm-cold pull — the spice tingling against the wet flower — before raspberry and freesia bring a juicy, slightly tart heart.

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.

flo·van·cit·fre

Moschino · 2004

Couture

Bergamot opens cleanly, as it does for half the florals of the early 2000s, then makes way quickly for the fruit-floral core: pomegranate here is sharp and tart rather than jammy, propping up jasmine's rich indolic bloom and peony's powder-pink register.

woo·gre·swe·ros

Dune Pour Homme

Dune pour Homme opens with a green, almost medicinal brightness—fig leaf and sage meet basil in a fresh, herbaceous wave that feels more apothecary than sun-drenched beach.

van·car·lac·woo

Wanted Girl By Night

Wanted Girl By Night stakes its territory immediately — rum and Chantilly cream create a sugary-alcoholic opening that's opulent without equivocation.

smo·van·mus·woo

Kenzo Amour Indian Holi

Incense opens Indian Holi alone — not the thick ecclesiastical kind but a clean, dry, slightly citrus-edged resin that sets a contemplative stage.

ros·pat·van·swe

Angel Garden Of Stars - La Rose Angel

The opening delivers bergamot tempered by pink pepper's dry spice, a brief clarifying gesture before Bulgarian rose arrives in full bloom.

car·swe·cit·woo

Nina Ricci · 2011

Nina Snow Princess

Lime cracks open the bottle with a quick green-citrus bite, and within a minute the scent tips into pure dessert: caramel and praline, dense and buttery, the sort of accord that smells like a pastry case in winter.

cin·amb·woo·fre

Kenzo Jungle Homme

Kenzo Jungle Homme arrived in 1998 as one of the warmer, spicier masculines of a decade that preferred aquatics and aromatic freshness.

flo·ros·smo·woo

Alessandro Dell'Acqua · 2001

Alessandro Dell Acqua

With no top accord, the perfume opens straight into peony and rose — peony bright and dewy, the rose darker, slightly jammy, with a soft floral powder hanging around them.

O Boticário · 2018

Love Lily

Love Lily opens with a light, citrus-tinged freshness — bergamot and neroli giving it a clean, slightly bittersweet edge, freesia lending a delicate powdery floralcy underneath.

amb·flo·iri·fru

Yves Saint Laurent · 2008

Elle Intense Eau de Parfum

The first impression is a vivid raspberry, jammy and tart, that quickly gives way to a smoother blend of jasmine and iris.

gre·aro·cit·fre

Giorgio Armani · 2005

Emporio Armani City Glam for Him

A breezy early-2000s masculine built on the clean-citrus-sport template of its era.

her·fre·cit·gre

Roberto Cavalli · 2006

Just Cavalli Blue

Just Cavalli Blue opens with a sharp rush of mint over bergamot, the lychee adding a slippery, slightly sweet fruitiness that stops the citrus from feeling too stark.

ear·cit·mos·woo

Mercedes-Benz · 2017

Mercedes Benz Silver

A clean, stripped-back masculine that leads with sharp grapefruit before vetiver takes over as the dominant thread.

cit·mus·woo·war

Versace · 2006

Versace Man Eau Fraîche

Versace Man Eau Fraîche opens with a bright citrus charge—lemon and bergamot sharp enough to wake you up, softened slightly by cardamom's aromatic warmth.

lav·woo·pat·cin

Amouage · 2016

Bracken Man

The opening is brisk and herbaceous—lavender smoothed by citrus, with nutmeg lending a dry, almost medicinal edge.

car·rum·van·amb

Bake

The opening is warm rum, barely diluted—sweet but not saccharine, carrying that molasses-dark depth that sits between the bakery and the bar.

iri·cit·fre·woo

Montana · 2001

Montana Homme

Montana Homme leads with bergamot and lemon — clean, bright citrus that fades quickly into an aromatic heart.

amb·ozo·mar·sal

Dolce & Gabbana · 2017

Light Blue Eau Intense

Light Blue Eau Intense opens with a bright, almost crystalline lemon that feels cold-pressed and immediate.

mos·pat·woo·war

Ange ou Demon (Perfume Extract)

Saffron and thyme crack open metallic and herbal, the spice’s leathery edge immediately tinting the air a rusty orange.

van·mus·smo·flo

Kenzo Amour

Kenzo Amour opens with almost nothing — no sharp citrus jolt, no assertive spice — just the slow unfurling of heliotrope, the almond-sweet flower that smells like powdered sugar with a floral undertow.

cin·lea·amb·iri

Penhaligon'S · 2011

Juniper Sling

Juniper Sling opens with a flash of cinnamon-dusted citrus—warm, effervescent, almost cocktail-bright.

whi·fre·mus·ear

Victorio & Lucchino · 2015

No 1 Azahar Radiante

Pink pepper crackles first, a bright, papery spark that lifts the bergamot into high, metallic citrus relief.

whi·cit·swe·woo

Victorio & Lucchino · 2015

Nº 1 Azahar Radiante

Pink pepper crackles against bergamot, releasing a bright, effervescent sparkle that feels like carbonated citrus.

mus·cit·lav·aqu

Montblanc · 2016

Legend Spirit

The opening of Legend Spirit feels like a citrus wind—grapefruit and bergamot lifted by pink pepper's bright, almost effervescent bite.

L'Eau Par Kenzo pour Homme

L'Eau par Kenzo Pour Homme opens with an immediate rush of yuzu—bright, tart, almost mineral in its clarity.

cit·fre·swe·flo

Nina Ricci · 2009

Nina Precious Swarovski Edition

Lime opens bright and effervescent, slicing through bergamot’s softer citrus oil to create a sparkling, tart introduction that feels like carbonated water over ice.

car·hon·swe·fru

Angel Mugler Show Star

Coconut and melon sparkle up top, their creamy-juicy tandem instantly candying the jasmine beneath.

pow·war·amb·van

Emirates Pride Perfumes · 2024

Masters

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

che·whi·fru·swe

Givenchy · 2011

Le Bouquet Absolu

A fruited floral that opens with bright neroli and bergamot tempered by ripe strawberry, more jammy than sharp.

fre·cit·war·aro

Cerruti · 2014

1881 Bella Notte Man

Lime and lemon open sharply, a clean citrus spark that fades relatively fast.

cit·woo·fru·fre

Biografia Desperte

Biografia Desperte opens with a single citrus stroke — lemon, sharp and unsweetened, the kind of opening that reads aim-the-day rather than perfume-as-mood.

fru·flo·ros·amb

House Of Bo · 2023

Rosario

Pomegranate and lemon meet in a bright, mouth-watering spritz that feels more crushed fruit than candy.

mus·woo·bal·cin

Moschino · 1998

Uomo

Moschino Uomo opens with a dusty warmth that feels both spiced and resinous, never quite revealing all its layers at once.

Dolce & Gabbana · 2020

Light Blue Love Is Love pour Femme

Light Blue Love Is Love pours out bright and fizzy, lemon zest with a candied edge that never quite settles into citrus cologne territory.

aro·fre·swe·woo

Mercedes-Benz · 2022

Mercedes Benz Ultimate

Lavender opens with a clean aromatic freshness that is immediately softened by apple's fruity sweetness.

pat·war·amb·aro

Paco Rabanne · 2018

Black XS (2018)

The 2018 reformulation opens with a bright sage-and-lemon greeting that quickly gives way to the fragrance's true character: a warm cinnamon-praline core that dominates the middle development.

flo·ros·fre·sof

Yves Saint Laurent · 2007

Elle

Elle opens with a soft peony accord that feels slightly soapy and fresh, like clean linen warmed by sun.

fru·amb·mar·flo

Antonio Banderas · 2007

Blue Seduction

Blue Seduction opens with a bright melon-mint combination that feels almost edible—sweet, cool, and synthetic in a way that defined many mid-2000s men's fragrances.

van·mus·lac·swe

Yves Saint Laurent · 2016

Black Opium Nuit Blanche

The opening strikes with sharp anise and pink pepper, a cold jolt that cuts through the sweetness you might expect from the Black Opium lineage.

tub·van·fru·flo

Valentino · 2012

Valentina Assoluto

The opening is plush and unapologetically fruity—ripe peach softened by bergamot, a contrast that feels both feminine and slightly daring.

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.

ros·amb·van·ozo

Dolce & Gabbana · 2018

Light Blue Italian Zest 2018

The opening is a bright citrus shock—lemon and bergamot stripped of sweetness, almost tart, like squeezing fruit over cold tiles.

lav·amb·fre·aro

Paco Rabanne · 2002

Eau Paco Rabanne

A green-aromatic structure dressed up with deeper fougère bones.

woo·aro·amb·fre

Pierre Cardin · 2009

Pierre Cardin Collection Cedre-Ambre

Cardamom and nutmeg open dry and peppery, the spices crackling over skin for a brief, heated minute before amber slides in, thick and resinous, swallowing the sparkle.

fru·fre·gre·aro

Mercedes-Benz · 2018

Mercedes Benz Select

Opens with a tart, jammy black currant against bergamot — the cassis already pushing toward a faintly sulphurous, fruity-green sparkle that's a touch metallic in the best way.

hon·car·swe·flo

Prelude S.

Prelude S opens sweet and edible — brown sugar warmed at the edges, with honey thickening the centre into something close to dulce-de-leche.

cit·fre·pow·swe

Agua de

Olivier Cresp opened the new millennium for Loewe with a unisex citrus-woody accord that remains a quiet classic.

flo·pow·fre·swe

Giorgio Armani · 2006

Emporio Remix for Her

Emporio Remix for Her opens with a distinctive accord: pear and cranberry provide the fruit, while star anise adds a herbal, licorice-edged sharpness that distinguishes this from the typical 2006 fruity feminine.

mus·flo·fre·cit

Yves Saint Laurent · 2009

Elle Shocking (Elle Eau de Toilette)

Created by Olivier Cresp as a 2009 limited-edition flanker of Elle.

swe·war·woo·van

Armand Basi · 2000

Armand Basi Homme

Armand Basi Homme opens with cinnamon front and center, flanked by cardamom and lavender — warm, slightly sharp, and immediately spicy.

fru·woo·ros·flo

Lacoste Fragrances · 2003

Lacoste Pour Femme

**Lacoste Pour Femme** opens with a crisp apple note that feels more tennis-court fresh than orchard ripe, paired with the soft transparency of freesia.

Dolce & Gabbana · 2023

Devotion

Devotion opens with a haze of candied orange blossom, warmed immediately by a caramelized rum note that gives the white floral an unexpected richness.

van·sal·mar·amb

Dolce & Gabbana · 2014

Light Blue Escape To Panarea 2014

The opening is all brightness—bergamot citrus cut with juicy pear, a fizzy sweetness that feels like sunlight on water.

pat·war·whi·woo

Yves Saint Laurent · 2021

Black Opium Extreme

A more concentrated, shadow-draped variation on the familiar Black Opium blueprint.

amb·mar·sal·ros

Dolce & Gabbana · 2019

Light Blue Sun 2019

Light Blue Sun opens with a sharp, sunlit lemon that feels more Mediterranean terrace than tropical beach—clean and slightly alkaline, like citrus squeezed over warm stone.

woo·mos·pow·mus

Cacharel · 2001

Noa l'Eau de Parfum

Plum and peach introduce a ripe, slightly tart fruitiness that is immediately softened by freesia's delicate white floral touch.

cit·swe·lac·whi

Nina Ricci · 2022

Nina Soleil

Nina Soleil takes the apple-bottle silhouette of the Nina franchise into bright vacation territory.

mus·ros·whi·fru

Dolce & Gabbana · 2016

Light Blue Love in Capri

Light Blue Love in Capri separates itself from the original Light Blue through galbanum and heliotrope — two notes that pull the flanker in a different direction.

flo·ros·gre·fre

Emanuel Ungaro · 2011

Diva Rose

Lychee and bergamot open with a juicy sparkle that frames the Bulgarian rose in crystalline light.

woo·fre·cit·sof

whi·swe·cit·fru

whi·woo·tub·fru

Today Tomorrow Always Celebrate

Lavender and neroli create an aromatic citrus opening with a fresh herbal edge.

cit·car·van·fru

Nina Ricci · 2015

Les Délices de Nina

A bright lemon opening quickly gives way to the heart of this composition: green apple laced with caramel and a whisper of jasmine that keeps it from tipping into pure gourmand territory.

ros·mus·fru·flo

Giorgio Armani · 2005

Emporio Armani City Glam for Her

City Glam opens with a plush, wine-dark fruit accord—plum and blackcurrant mingling in a way that feels ripe but not sugary, more velvet than juice.

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.

Issey Miyake · 2013

L'Eau d'Issey Absolue

L'Eau d'Issey Absolue opens with a soft freesia prelude, a watery floral that signals its kinship to the original L'Eau d'Issey but with warmer intentions.

van·fru·alm·whi

Nina Ricci · 2010

Le Paradis de Nina

The opening announces itself with a plush almond accord softened by orange blossom, the citrus edge barely breaking through the enveloping sweetness.

smo·war·vio·her

A spiced, resinous take on the CH framework.

woo·whi·fru·aro

Roberto Verino · 2006

VV Aqua Women

Peach and bergamot create a juicy citrus-fruity opening that feels immediately refreshing and bright.

mus·fru·swe·fre

Tomorrow

Tomorrow opens with a fuzzy peach-raspberry accord softened by an unexpected whisper of patchouli, less earthy than resinous.

lav·aro·woo·fre

Korloff Paris · 2018

Iris Dore

Lavender opens with a brisk, herbal snap, quickly rinsed by grapefruit’s tart sparkle and bergamot’s faint metallic edge.

aro·fre·sof·flo

Antonio Banderas · 2009

Seduction in Black

Seduction in Black opens with a tart, slightly bruised blackcurrant note sharpened by bergamot, creating an immediate sweetness that feels more casual than luxurious.

flo·swe·nut·war

Escada S

Escada S opens with a plush, jammy plum and black currant accord that feels both sweet and slightly tart, like biting into ripe fruit just short of overripe.

whi·fre·aro·woo

Tous

The original Tous opens with a sharp violet leaf accent—green, almost cucumber-like—softened by bergamot's hesitant citrus.

L'Eau Par Kenzo Electric Wave pour Femme

Electric Wave skips the citrus opening typical of the L'Eau line and lands directly on jasmine — a single, white-floral throughline that sets the tone for the wear.

woo·amb·fre·sof

Mercedes-Benz · 2018

Mercedes Benz Man Grey

Pink pepper crackles first, a dry sparkle that bergamot sharpens into metallic citrus.

swe·lac·iri·cit

Carolina Herrera · 2014

CH Grand Tour

Grapefruit slices the opening with a bitter-sour spray that fools you into expecting a full citrus cologne, yet within minutes the fruit folds into a cool iris butter whose carrot-seed facet muffles the brightness and turns the composition face powder-dry.

van·flo·amb·mus

Collistar · 2018

La Vaniglia

Bergamot lends a brief, sunny citrus lift that quickly recedes behind a lush floral heart.

fre·aqu·whi·swe

Nina Ricci · 2013

Nina L’Eau

The opening is bright and uncomplicated—crisp apple meets citrus clarity, a sharpness tempered by neroli's soft petals.

Dolce & Gabbana · 2022
