1–60 of 68

212 Men NYC Eau de Toilette

Carolina Herrera — One wearer smelled it on a well-groomed colleague and ordered a bottle, another has worn it for seventeen years, and a third hears New York nightlife from before social media.

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..

Be Delicious Eau de Parfum

DKNY — Crisp green apple and cucumber with grapefruit, then clean magnolia and muguet, drying to a powdery finish of pale woods, amber and musk.

Beautiful Eau de Parfum

Estée Lauder — One owner, given it as a high-school Christmas present in the mid-1980s, now wears nothing else, and for many it has been a signature since the 1980s: a lush bouquet of rose, lily, tuberose and lily of the valley on creamy sandalwood.

Blackbird Parfum

Olympic Orchids — Ripe blackberry with dry grass, fir balsam and resinous cedar.

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..

Carnal Flower Eau de Parfum

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle — Tuberose front and centre, with a cool, green eucalyptus-and-melon opening.

Champaca Parfum

Ormonde Jayne — Moderate, close wear is the usual report for this creamy champaca and freesia on warm, starchy rice, freshened by green tea and bamboo..

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.

Cool Water Eau de Toilette

Davidoff — Still the cleanest thing to wear on a hot day, to its owners, this is the blue aquatic that set the template: mint, lavender and a salty, ozonic splash on musk.

Copper Eau de Parfum

Comme des Garçons — Built on a contradiction, and wearers feel both halves: a sharp green, peppery opening that several compare to a handful of coins, then a soft settle into vanilla and myrrh.

Coven Eau de Parfum

Andrea Maack — Wet soil, moss and a green burst of galbanum: the forest floor after rain, and the word many wearers reach for is witchy.

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..

Curve for Men Eau de Cologne

Liz Claiborne — First worn by many as schoolboys, it was a bargain-shelf compliment-getter of the late 1990s and 2000s, and one fan remembers a poor man's pineapple scent that got there before Creed: pineapple and bergamot on green, peppery herbs, drying to a soft woody musk.

Daisy Eau de Toilette

Marc Jacobs — Staying close and lasting a few hours, by reviewers' general account, this is light wild berries and white violet on soft sandalwood..

Drakkar Noir Eau de Toilette

Guy Laroche — The fougère a generation of men wore for going out: lavender and aromatic herbs on a dark barbershop base.

En Passant

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle — Wet lilac and cucumber with a warm, dough-like accent.

Encelade

Marc-Antoine Barrois — Sour rhubarb, damp earth and leather with a strong green character, which some wearers liken to tomato leaf, compost or burnt matches.

Encre Noire Eau de Toilette

Lalique — Here cypress and vetiver come across as damp earth, roots, bark and smoke, above softer wood and musk, though some catch a cleaner, almost minty green.

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.

Eternity for Women Eau de Parfum

Calvin Klein — Lily of the valley, carnation and a sprig of sage, scrubbed so clean that wearers keep reaching for the laundry: detergent, soap, a crisp white shirt.

Explorer Platinum Eau de Parfum

Montblanc — Violet leaf leads, green and faintly metallic, over clary sage and a cedar that several owners call creamy rather than dry; a coconut-water sweetness turns up again and again, though no coconut is listed.

Fahrenheit Eau de Toilette

Dior — Mandarin, green violet and smoky leather, with an opening wearers keep likening to petrol or hot rubber.

Fantosmia Eau de Parfum

Jorum Studio — Dense and slightly medicinal to many wearers, drawing closer as it settles: pepper, pimento and fennel, green shiso and mate, over tobacco and leather..

Fat Electrician Eau de Parfum

Etat Libre d'Orange — A vetiver gone soft in the middle: wearers get smoky roots and cedar over chestnut cream, marron glacé and a dusting of vanilla, comfortable rather than austere.

Fathom V

BeauFort London — Cold green stems, pond water and lilies: a florist's refrigerator, in the comparison reviewers reach for most often.

Fig-Tea Eau de Toilette

Nicolaï — Osmanthus, orange and green tea with an apricot-like davana accent, on a soft guaiac-and-amber background.

Green Tea Scent Spray

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

HUGO Man Eau de Toilette

Hugo Boss — For several wearers this was the first real aftershave, the canteen-shaped flask of 1990s school discos, and an owner in their late fifties still wears it.

Hwyl

Aesop — Dry thyme and elemi, wood dust and incense.

Jasmin et Cigarette Eau de Parfum

Etat Libre d'Orange — In the accounts of those who wear it: rich jasmine and cold tobacco ash, a dry turmeric accent, and a little tonka sweetness under the smoky floral..

Le Beau Paradise Garden Eau de Parfum

Jean Paul Gaultier — Mint and ginger open with a cold snap while green, watery notes sit underneath; then come coconut and a humid fig that one wearer likens to the Amazon rainforest and another to a very good coconut hair conditioner.

Legend Eau de Parfum

Montblanc — Two comparisons come up again and again in the reports: a hot shower, and Abercrombie & Fitch's Fierce.

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..

Papyrus Moléculaire Eau de Parfum

Maison Crivelli — Paper more than wood: wearers describe starchy, sun-bleached reeds, pencil shavings and clean skin, with a curl of cigarillo and a milky softness underneath.

Philosykos Eau de Parfum

Diptyque — Green fig leaf, bark and dry woods, with pepper for an edge, as reviewers describe it.

Pleasures Eau de Parfum

Estée Lauder — Cut grass and dewy white flowers, lily, peony and lilac, as clean as an expensive soap: the 1990s spring floral that many have worn for decades and still get asked about.

Poets of Berlin Eau de Parfum

Vilhelm Parfumerie — Blueberry muffin, wearers often say: tart blueberry and lemon on sweet vanilla, with orris and vetiver drying the finish, and it often wears closer after the opening..

Polo Blue Eau de Toilette

Ralph Lauren — Melon and a great deal of cucumber, then basil, sage and a soft suede: a just-showered blue that one owner has reached for three summers running and another, who first wore it in high school, has bought again.

Roasted Green Tea Eau de Parfum

J-Scent — Roasted green tea with nutty, savoury peanut and seaweed impressions, cooled by mint and wintergreen before a softer iris-and-vanilla drydown, as reviewers describe it..

Rouge Eau de Parfum

Comme des Garçons — Ginger and pink pepper with earthy, faintly sweet beetroot; later on, wearers say, incense and cistus turn it dry and resinous..

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..

Snowy Owl Extrait de Parfum

Zoologist — Cold rather than sweet: wearers describe snow, cold stone, chalky iris and the water left in a vase, with mint and a little coconut lotion at the edges.

Spicebomb Night Vision Eau de Parfum

Viktor&Rolf — Green apple is the note wearers name first, then pepper and chili and a sweetness that reads as a Christmas tree to one reviewer and a shisha bar to another.

Steamed Rainbow

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

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..

Thunderstorm Cologne Spray

Demeter Fragrance Library — Demeter describes earth and plant oils in humid air around a summer thunderstorm.

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..

61–68 of 68

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..

Vétiver Eau de Toilette

Guerlain — Guerlain's note list combines bright citrus with nutmeg and pepper, followed by earthy vetiver, tobacco and tonka bean.

Voyage Eau de Toilette

Nautica — From college classes to job interviews, this is the budget summer scent wearers throw on without thinking: green apple and cucumber on a salty, watery lotus.

White Linen Eau de Parfum

Estée Lauder — Sheets drying in the sun, or a bar of good white soap: sparkling aldehydes on rose, lily of the valley and orris, drying to vetiver and moss.

White Tea Eau de Toilette

Elizabeth Arden — If neutral had a scent, one wearer says, this would be it: creamy tea and a clean sea breeze settling into soft musk, as easy at the office as at bedtime.

Womanity Eau de Parfum

Mugler — Sweet and salty at once is the whole design, and wearers say it lands: green fig and fig leaf over a skin-warm saltiness that reads as sea air rather than seafood.
