49 fragrances

4711 Original Eau de Cologne

4711 — For many reviewers this is a brief pleasure: bright, slightly bitter citrus peel, dry herbs and a clean orange-blossom thread, sitting close to the skin and fading quickly..

Acqua di Gio Eau de Toilette

Giorgio Armani — Fresh and woody overall, in wearers' words: a bright, slightly sharp marine opening with bergamot, then a dry cedar background..

Aventus

Creed — It starts as pineapple, apple, bergamot and blackcurrant and turns smoky and mossy as birch, patchouli and musk come through, a clean, fresh thread running from start to finish.

Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum

Chanel — Citrus and pepper up front, then ginger and smooth sandalwood, finishing musky and woody with a thread of incense.

BOSS Bottled Infinite Eau de Parfum

Hugo Boss — Green apple opens it, cut with cinnamon and mandarin, before lavender, rosemary and an olive-wood dryness carry it to a scrubbed finish that owner after owner names shower gel, some in praise and some with a shrug.

Calyx Eau de Parfum

Clinique — Tart grapefruit and guava, then clean rose and neroli; in wearers' telling, green leaves and oakmoss leave the finish damp and leafy..

Chrome Eau de Toilette

Azzaro — Bright citrus, cool metal and mineral water, then clean musk and a dry tea-and-wood character that some wearers compare to freshly washed linen..

CK One Eau de Toilette

Calvin Klein — Clean in the literal sense: wearers describe citrus and green tea over a soapy musk, the scent of having just showered.

Classic Warm Cotton

CLEAN Beauty Collective — Freshly dried laundry, as reviewers keep putting it, built from bright lemon, cotton and a marine note on warm musk.

Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum

Chanel — It opens loud and settles closer, as many reviewers tell it, with orange, rose and jasmine resting on a prominent patchouli base..

Cool Water Intense Eau de Parfum

Davidoff — Green mandarin starts it, orange Fanta to one nose, and a creamy coconut nectar follows before an amber base that refuses to leave.

Cristalle Eau de Toilette

Chanel — Sharp citrus and cool, green hyacinth with jasmine beneath, turning close and transparent as it goes on, in many wearers' experience..

Déclaration Eau de Toilette

Cartier — Cumin gives it a warm edge that divides people, sensual skin to some and stale clothing to others; around it, as wearers tell it, sit cool green cardamom and bone-dry bitter orange on cedar.

Dune

Dior — Dry mineral air, sea breeze and a faint hay-like sweetness, likened by reviewers to pebbles, driftwood and dust.

Eau des Merveilles Eau de Toilette

Hermès — Woody, a little leathery, neither floral nor sweet: as wearers tell it, salt and orange peel lie on warm resin and cedar, and for some it is all they wear.

Eternity for Men Eau de Toilette

Calvin Klein — Candied lemon peel and something like washed lettuce greet one owner; others meet mandarin and lavender, then sage, basil and geranium settling over soft woods.

Explorer Extreme Parfum

Montblanc — Bergamot opens it bright, then a dark licorice that no note list mentions takes over, with patchouli, vetiver and a damp leather underneath.

Glow Eau de Toilette

Jennifer Lopez — Just-showered skin is the brief, and wearers say it delivers: clean soap, cold cream and body lotion over a soft, musky powder.

Green Tea Scent Spray

Elizabeth Arden — Lemon and bergamot, then leafy green tea with a celery-seed accent.

Happy Eau de Parfum

Clinique — Fresh, clean and light, and the kind of scent strangers stop you to ask about: owners who have worn it for decades tell of colleagues and students wanting the name.

Happy for Men Eau de Toilette

Clinique — Clinique brings out the lemon press and the mandarin peeler, as one reviewer puts it: a bright citrus with a herbal, marine cool, one wearer's first fragrance friend and another's turn-of-the-millennium gift.

Invictus Eau de Toilette

Rabanne — Grapefruit and a salty marine accord sweetened almost to bubblegum: a teenage signature of the early 2010s, worn to the club, the office and the gym alike.

K by Dolce&Gabbana Eau de Toilette

Dolce&Gabbana — Blood orange, lemon and juniper open it, then a chili-pepper sharpness, lavender and a woody close; one owner wears it on every trip to Italy for its coastal feel, another hears the shower gel of a childhood swimming club.

Karma Perfume

Lush — Straight back in an old head shop is where several wearers land: sweet, syrupy orange oil on pine and a raw, green patchouli, with a thread of incense.

Libre Eau de Parfum

Yves Saint Laurent — Noticeable at a distance and long-wearing, by the general run of reviews, it pairs sharp, aromatic lavender and orange blossom with sweet vanilla..

Light Blue Eau de Toilette

Dolce&Gabbana — Crisp and fresh is how wearers put it: sharp lemon and green apple against a light cedar background..

Like This Eau de Parfum

Etat Libre d'Orange — Pumpkin and ginger as warm, savoury vegetables and spice, with bright tangerine at the start.

Mûre et Musc Eau de Toilette

L'Artisan Parfumeur — Picked off the bush, leaf and thorn included, the blackberry sits on a clean white musk, though for some the fruit barely shows and it wears as fresh laundry.

Narcisse Noir (2021) Parfum

Caron — Less animalic than older Narcisse Noir, wearers who compare the two often find: dry orange blossom and jonquil, a green, waxy narcissus, and sandalwood and vetiver beneath..

Sauvage Eau de Parfum

Dior — Rounder and a little sweeter than the eau de toilette, by most accounts, with peppery bergamot, lavender and warm spice on a big, clean ambroxan base.

Sel Marin Eau de Parfum

Heeley — Salt, lemon and wet algae with a dry mineral character; the vivid opening often narrows to a close vetiver, wearers say..

Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Guerlain — To some reviewers the sharp bergamot opening reads rubbery or animalic before the softer vanilla arrives; beneath it lie powdery vanilla and tonka, smoky leather and resin..

Steamed Rainbow

D.S. & Durga — Humid pavement, water and a faint plastic edge that wearers liken to pool floats or bubble solution.

Sunflowers Eau de Toilette

Elizabeth Arden — Melon and peach sit at the centre of almost every report, lifted by bergamot and softened into a clean, sunlit floral.

Sweet Leaf Eau de Parfum

Room 1015 — Grapefruit, eucalyptus and a green, resinous cannabis accord, with a sharp turpentine accent; wearers find wood and patchouli softening it later..

The Ghost in the Shell Eau de Parfum

Etat Libre d'Orange — Soft as it is, some wearers find it long-lasting: yuzu and a milky skin accord that leaves synthetic, plastic or cool metallic impressions, resting on moss and amber woods..

Tom Yum Eau de Parfum

Parfum Prissana — Lime leaf, lemongrass and galangal with jasmine and coriander: the vivid herbal-citrus opening gives way to a woody patchouli drydown, with generally moderate wear, reviewers say..

Tommy Eau de Toilette

Tommy Hilfiger — Fresh-washed, the scent of 1990s high-school corridors and, to one reviewer, a well-groomed tennis player: spearmint and bergamot, green apple, cranberry and a cotton-soft drydown.

Tommy Girl Eau de Toilette

Tommy Hilfiger — Bright citrus, astringent for the first minutes: mandarin, grapefruit and mint up front, a passing breath of rose, and hours later something like a freshly laundered jumper out of a cedar drawer.

Tonnerre Eau de Parfum

BeauFort London — Gunpowder, brandy and charred wood after a brief citrus opening, as wearers tell it, with birch tar adding a smoked-meat impression before it settles toward salt and ash..

Unknown Pleasures Eau de Parfum

Kerosene — Earl Grey and lemon show early, reviewers notice, then a warmer, sweeter pastry of caramel, vanilla and waffle cone takes over..

Virgin Island Water Eau de Parfum

Creed — Sharp lime and bergamot, then creamy coconut and white flowers; as the citrus fades, soft tonka and musk remain, usually close to the skin by wearers' accounts..

Wanted Eau de Toilette

Azzaro — Lemon and ginger fizz at the start, then cardamom, a synthetic green apple and a tonka-and-vetiver dry-down; one wearer calls it a sugar-water balloon, another a scent for every season, day or evening.
