oud·smo·amb·war

Absolute by Exclusive

Sicilian lemon and lavender open with the familiar structure of a modern fougère, geranium adding a subtle rosy-herbal note that shifts the opening slightly beyond the conventional.

cit·aro·fre·gre

Commodity · 2017

Bergamot

Bergamot opens bright and clean, with a more bitter-edged citrus brightness than the typical sweet zest.

Victoria'S Secret · 2021

Tease Creme Cloud

Tease Crème Cloud opens with a soft, pillowy vanilla that feels more aerated than heavy—less custard, more whipped cream left to settle.

cin·amb·war·flo

Chamego

"Chamego" is a Brazilian colloquialism for tender, cozy closeness.

woo·amb·cit·war

Herve Leger Homme

Herve Leger Homme opens with yuzu's clean, tart citrus brightness lifted by fresh ginger — a combination that reads crisp and invigorating without any sharp edges.

swe·fru·pow·vio

Tommy Hilfiger · 2006

Tommy 10

mos·mus·pow·ozo

Sarah Jessica Parker · 2009

Dawn

Violet leaf opens the composition with a sharp, watery-green snap — cucumber-like, faintly metallic, more leaf than flower.

amb·woo·war·ani

Hilary Duff · 2006

With Love

**With Love** opens with a sweet, fruity clarity—mandarin and pomegranate meeting clean florals without tipping into syrup.

tub·mus·fru·tro

Vera Wang · 2011

Lovestruck

Lovestruck opens with a clean, almost soapy brightness that quickly gives way to its tuberose heart.

fre·cit·war·woo

Lucky Me Intense

Lucky Me Intense opens with a crisp green apple before finding its character in a lush floral-herbal heart.

gre·fre·flo·whi

Bond No. 9 · 2008

Andy Warhol Union Square

Lily of the valley opens cleanly — green, slightly watery, and uncomplicated.

sof·woo·aro·fre

Kenneth Cole · 2019

Mankind Legacy

Nutmeg and clary sage open with a dry, softly spicy warmth that feels like crushed leaves and kitchen spice rather than loud pepper.

mus·pow·fru·cit

Donna Karan · 2019

DKNY Stories Eau de Toilette

Pink pepper and citrus open with a sparkling spicy-citrus burst that feels bright and slightly sharp.

gre·fre·flo·whi

Bond No. 9 · 2013

Union Square

Lily of the valley and grass create a crisp green opening with a dewy floral freshness.

iri·lac·fru·swe

Donna Karan · 2018

DKNY Stories

DKNY Stories opens with a quick flare of pink pepper—bright but not sharp, more vivid than spicy.

van·pow·woo·swe

Vera Wang · 2023

Rock Princess 2023

Ylang-ylang dominates the opening, releasing a custard-sweet floral cream that the peach softens into fuzzy skin rather than juicy bite.
