The inspiration for this scent was a dark, wood-clad cocktail bar. Like all of Commodity's scents, it's meant to be worn on its own or layered with other fragrances. The fragrance starts out with major gin notes — juniper, ginger and citrus. As it dries down, it transforms into a vampy combination of musk, smoky oak and patchouli. Douse yourself in this wearable libation before heading to a speakeasy.
The darker, edgier scent in the Sinner/Saint duo from Kat Von D, we love the spicy, gourmand notes. Juicy mandarin and plum are exquisite along sweet jasmine, vanilla and orange blossom and earthy patchouli, vetivier and wood. There's a hint of cinnamon, which adds a little spiciness and depth. Try this one for your next GNO — your friends will be asking to spritz it on themselves.
What started as a luxurious scented candle brand morphed into a fragrance powerhouse as well. The entire fragrance line (and bottle artwork) was inspired by 18th-century floral paintings. Black Tulip is a sweet, seductive, grown-up fragrance that marries plum and violet with the bright spiciness of pink peppercorn and earthy patchouli. This scent is meant to be worn when you want someone to take notice.
This light, fresh, fruit-forward scent is just like a walk through the countryside. Juicy pear blended with powdery, floral freesia make a delectable fruity floral that is unique and familiar at the same time. Notes of amber, patchouli and wood give it more depth and staying power. This is a scent you'll want to wear every day.
If you haven't experienced the whimsy and playful nature of Moschino, check out this perfume housed in the brand's take on a Windex bottle. The name says it all — it starts as a sparkling and fresh, aquatic fragrance with bergamot, raspberry, mandarin and ylang ylang. As it dries down you start to get the patchouli along with powdery notes of osmanthus, peony, cedarwood and ambrox (a synthetic form of ambergris). Wear it when you want a little extra pep in your step — especially at the office where you'll be sniffing it all day.
