Ultimate Seduction

Ultimate Seduction by Laurent Mazzone Parfums, released in 2014, is a woody floral with a sweet side. Woody is the accord every wearer names; most also find it floral, about half describe it as gourmand, and a minority note green, amber and citrus shades.

The notes are listed as a group. Orange and pink pepper give a bright, slightly spicy opening, with blackcurrant and currant leaf and bud adding a tart, green, fruity edge. The heart is iris, violet and rose, a soft, powdery, slightly cosmetic bouquet, and praline brings a nutty, caramel sweetness underneath. The base of patchouli, cedar, white wood, woody notes and amber is dry and warm, the patchouli adding earth and the amber a smooth, resinous glow.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The powder and praline suit autumn and winter, evenings and dressier occasions, and it will appeal to people who like iris and violet compositions with a sweet, woody finish rather than a cold one.
