Don Paradisae

Don Paradisae by the Dutch house Eauk, released in 2020, is a green, spicy, resinous scent positioned as a masculine fragrance. Everyone who describes it calls it green; about two thirds also find it spicy, woody and amber-like, and a minority notice resinous or aromatic sides.

Mandarin leaf and petitgrain give a bitter, green citrus opening, and lavender adds a clean herbal line. Pimento and red chilli pepper bring a sharp, unusual heat that sets the scent apart. Osmanthus sits in the middle with a soft apricot-and-leather floral note. Pine and cedar give a dry, resinous wood, oakmoss a damp earthiness, and leather, incense, labdanum and amber a warm, smoky, balsamic base.

Don Paradisae suits autumn and cooler spring days and works for both day and evening. It will appeal to someone who likes green, piney scents with spice and smoke rather than sweetness or freshness.
