Si, Mas! by Si, Mas! makes an immediate impression with a blast of neroli and citrus blossoms. It is a floral fragrance designed to push past the usual clean, polite garden scents. The opening is sharp, green, and slightly bitter, thanks to lemon blossom and orange blossom. As the fragrance warms on the skin, it transitions from a bright, sunny citrus into a heavy, waxy floral heart dominated by ylang-ylang and jasmine. A distinct, animalic costus note in the base prevents it from becoming too sweet, adding an earthy, almost human warmth that lingers for hours. It suits lovers of indolic white florals who want something with a bit of grit, making it perfect for warm spring days or humid summer evenings.

Bijan by Bijan is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Bijan was launched in 1986. The nose behind this fragrance is Peter Bohm. Top notes are Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom, Narcissus, Neroli, Bergamot and Basil; middle notes are Honey, Tuberose, Carnation, Jasmine, Bulgarian Rose, Orris Root and Lily-of-the-Valley; base notes are Benzoin, Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Heliotrope, Oakmoss, Cedar and Patchouli. It opens with Ylang-Ylang, Orange Blossom. The heart moves into Honey, Tuberose. In the dry-down, Benzoin, Sandalwood give it its base. From the way people describe wearing it, this comes across best as ideal for cold winter nights; a lush oriental; soft amber vanilla drydown. The trade-off is that it may feel sweeter and heavier than some people expect; heavy and not for everyone; newer versions lack original vintage depth depending on taste and setting. Taken toge
