Fleur de Peau Multiuse Fragrance

Azzaro Pour Homme Intense (2015)

The 2015 flanker opens with an immediate cinnamon strike—not the red-hot candied kind, but a drier, almost bark-like warmth that feels masculine without veering sweet.

Legend Intense

Midnight Special

Legend Night

Legend Night opens with a rush of cool mint and cardamom that feels almost medicinal in its clarity, tempered by bergamot's citric brightness.

Eudora Eau de Parfum

Emblem

Emblem opens with a dry, slightly bitter grapefruit note alongside the warm medicinal quality of clary sage and the sweet spice of cardamom — a combination that reads as sophisticated fresh-oriental rather than simple citrus.

Yohji Yamamoto Femme

The pear opening arrives with a peculiar softness—not the crisp bite of fruit, but something hazier, almost powdered, dusted with bergamot and a shadowy black currant that pulls the brightness down into twilight.

Soir d'Оrient

A molten saffron opening—metallic, honeyed, almost medicinal—fades quickly into a dry pepper heart that feels less spicy than smoky.

Soir d'Orient

Soir d'Orient is a warm, resinous eastern composition that skips the usual oud-heavy formula for something softer and more diffuse.

Feerie Eau de Toilette

A gauzy veil of violet and raspberry lifts from the skin in the opening moments, softly narcotic and faintly tart.

Feerie Eau de Toilette Van Cleef & Arpels

A candied violet fantasy that leans unabashedly girlish, Féerie opens with the tart shock of raspberry against cool, almost metallic violet leaf.
