A moody reinterpretation of Neroli, where time slows and senses gently drift. Bright Moroccan Neroli blossoms entwine with the dark, green attitude of Cannabis Leaf. This duet is sweetened by the warm, honeyed richness of Beeswax Absolute. Zesty Green Mandarin and luxurious Orange Blossom Water float the composition into a sparkling cloud of citrus. Elegant Orris Root gives sophisticated grounding. Drift in a spaced-out summer haze.

From the master perfume responsible for most of the Xerjoff range, Moon Glade is a very unconventional take on lavender. The perfumer added a charred coconut shell nuance and poured sweet peach compote to the clean musky vibes of the herb.

  • Aromagroups:

  • woody

It’s a delectable amber with focus on the gourmand aspect of that ancient perfume recipe. Usually, an amber mix would require a resin (labdanum, benzoin, etc.), patchouli and vanilla. In Beso Canalla this sweet component often represented and highlighted by vanilla was extended to many dimensions. It starts with gently sweet bergamot, descends into caramelized a sugar accord in the heart and dries down into a sweet sandalwood and amber amalgamation.

In the Beso perfume trilogy this formula represents the relaxed afternoon when you have had your early morning swim and are now gathering energies for the night out ahead (chilling in the sweet shade with an ice cold orangeade, feet buried in warm sand).

Warm, spicy and friendly, this extrait summons the good and protects you from the bad. A nutty haze of coconut a-swirl with cardamom, walnut and nutmeg soon deepens with the plush lushness of jasmine and iris. Fig, richly sweet and vegetal, adds contrast, while sandalwood provides cozy, just-out-of-focus grounding that is mellow and milky.

Hasbaya is a city in Lebanon, and Néroli Hasbaya is inspired by a Lebanese dessert called mouhalabieh, a milk pudding flavoured with orange blossom and pistachio. This extrait opens with incandescent neroli, wrapped in nutty’n’buttery hints of pistachio and almond. Orange blossom reveals its full depth in the base, and the creamy richness of sandalwood and Peruvian balsam enhance the enfolding trail of this radiant perfume.

About Gold Sugar by Aquolina

What makes Gold Sugar by Aquolina an oriental vanilla fragrance?
Gold Sugar is classified as oriental vanilla due to its combination of warm, sweet notes like caramel and coconut with rich oriental elements such as sandalwood and musk. The inclusion of citrus and floral notes like orange, mandarin, neroli, and orange blossom adds brightness and balance.
How do these fragrances differ from Gold Sugar in terms of sweetness?
While many of these fragrances share sweet notes like caramel, coconut, or orange blossom, some emphasise fresher or spicier elements such as thyme, tobacco, or ginger that reduce the overall gourmand sweetness compared to Gold Sugar. Others incorporate smoky or resinous facets, creating a different sweetness profile.
Can I expect a fragrance with the same creamy vanilla base as Gold Sugar here?
Not all fragrances listed replicate Gold Sugar’s creamy vanilla base. Some focus more on citrus, floral, or woody notes, and others introduce different accords like almond, tobacco, or rum, which alter the creamy gourmand character.
