Best Vanilla Haze Extrait de Parfum by Fugazzi Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

The name S24 refers to the double S in the Maysson brand logo, paired with 24 to signify the very first perfume the house released in 2024. Bitter/nutty notes of saffron and hazelnut accent the woody-leather theme, softened by amber, benzoin and toffee. A fragrance summoning new beginnings, confidence and determination.

Named after a rare, indigenous red grape variety from the French Jura, this sensual, enveloping iris composition is built on an overdose of Bavarian iris germanica Danner. This varietal is characterized by extreme powderiness and strength. Its fruity-sweet and floral-violet notes are enriched with rare Piedmontese hazelnut extract, tonka bean absolute and sandalwood oil for depth and drama. Cat’s paw softness with all claws hidden.

Lances is a Spanish word that means the fleeting but decisive moments that change everything ever after. Risks are taken, character is forged. This extrait embodies this risk and reward dynamic with the high-contrast tension between hazelnut and four varieties of lavender. The effect is intriguingly ambiguous, simultaneously pulled towards the gourmand with the help of vanilla and sandalwood, while maintaining an aromatic aloofness thanks to the lavender and cedarwood.

Inspired by the innovative use of materials that allowed 18th century clockmakers to construct the first truly accurate marine chronometers, Lignum Vitae combines elements of wood, metal and salt to produce a truly unique, transportive fragrance. Lignum vitae itself is an incredibly dense wood - the only wood which is guaranteed to sink in water - which is indigenous to the Caribbean and the north coast of South America. The brand’s nautical theme is enhanced wonderfully by caramel, a madeleine cake accord and a cool winter lemon note which provide a truly unique gourmand experience akin to smelling warm shortbread, muffins or cupcakes.

In combining unexpected and exotic raw materials, Beaufort London celebrates the innovative spirit which brought to an end the search for lost time, and permitted the safe passage of ships across the world.

This soft tropical skin scent opens with a burst of bright bergamot and lemon zest, setting the stage for a heart of creamy jasmine and coconut water. Floral notes of rose, neroli, orange blossom and geranium unfold beneath, adding a delicate, sunlit richness. As the sun sets, warm amber, sensual musk and airy ambrette create a lingering  finish — like sunset on your favourite island.

A happy gourmand perfume with a note of praline, amber and patchouli, all glazed with bergamot.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 501 if you have a sweet tooth and like aromas of tasty treats such as cake, candy and various patisseries.

The lush green of the treetops fades to a dull gold. What seems a peaceful transition actually raises a blaring alarm to the creatures below. Time is running out. But for generations, mighty oaks have fulfilled a promise to provide, and leaves are not the only bounty tumbling to the forest floor. Chipmunks scurry among the detritus in their quest to collect the plumpest acorns. They eagerly gather what they can and, cheeks bulging with nuts, scamper home to line their snug burrows before falling leaves give way to biting snow.

Zoologist Chipmunk captures an autumn forest bursting with ripe nuts. Juicy quince, dusted with cardamom and nutmeg, dangles tantalizingly among naturalistic woods and green, milky kernels. Chipmunk invites you up into the branches, offering a dazzling vantage point from which to enjoy the rich golden and russet hues of the changing seasons.

Sandalwood enriched by cedarwood and enhanced by just-roasted hazelnut. Tender powdered heliotrope lightens for a nuanced sweetness that’s somewhat leatherey. While a blend of driftwood and sea salt styles this fragrance to delicious a cool pirate finish.

Clean, abstract and intriguing. Is it the smell of the new velvet seats in a dark cinema? Or the conditioned cool air? Or the fragrant echoes of trendy perfumes floating in between the spectators?

Cinematic is put together from an overdose of clean white musk, crisp hazy cashmeran, dry savory spices and a few drops of bitter carnation essence.

Aromatic sage, coriander and black pepper combine with mandarin and lemon for laid-back sophistication. Vetiver and musk give it muscle, while orris provides lean, refined woodiness.
