Best Mawj Appletini by PARIS CORNER Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

This fragrance summons the strength and elegance of a modern ruler.

Spicy saffron, cardamom and clove boldly herald the main event: an oud rose sexed up with musk. A hint of raspberry and caramel makes you lick your lips. Power meets seduction.

Perfumer: Mark Buxton

A delicious shimmering amber to follow the movement of your body like a fantastic beast.

It conjures up aromas of licorice rum, autumn sunset apples, and smoky bitter sweet tonka.

“Udbaha” means “marriage” in Bangla, and this extrait references the Bangladeshi Holud Night celebration before the wedding. The festival is decorated with marigolds, roses and tuberoses. The aromas of festival sweets and treats fill the air: sugar, nuts, cardamom and saffron, mingling with oranges, pineapple and ripe mangoes. A spicy/earthy paste of turmeric and fenugreek is applied to the bride and groom’s body, enhanced by warm amber. And summoning the ceremonial application of henna, Bengal oud and oakmoss weaves a funky green trail through the proceedings. A deep and joyful perfume.

Fruit punch with emphasis on the PUNCH. Scratchy-sweet pineapple joins forces with crisp green apple and rich mango for a tropical explosion. Before the dust settles, soft almond and coconut infuse the floral and woody haze.

A tribute to the scents of Colombia, this extrait de parfum suggests a late-night dinner for two under the stars. A gourmand dance of aromas is carried on the warm breeze: coffee, rum, chocolates. Powdery, pillowy vanilla and iris blur into vetiver and sandalwood for a sumptuous dream.

Perfumer: Clément Marx

The Riviera. The Mediterranean fills the horizon. You’re driving along a coastal road with the roof down, feeling free. In this extrait, lemon caviar, zesty ginger and icy cardamom puts jut in your strut, while tomato leaf, neroli and black tea summons an aromatic dance. Frankincense and cypriol offer shade in the sunshine.

Perfumer: Paul Guerlain

Swedoft shade an overdose of juicy bergamot with a surprising choice of a drop of smoky oud. The effect is a sensation of cleanness but as if you washed your skin with tar soap.

"Fiore di cotone" is an Italian expression for "cotton flower", used to describe a fresh, clean scent. This EdP is powdery and green, thanks to the interplay of lavender with musk and bergamot. Artemisia lends a subtly herbaceous and bitter edge, putting a little starch in this smell of freshly-washed sheets.

Nawab of Oudh is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection and represents India, the land that gives us oud, a plethora of spices, and so many beautiful flowers.

The name of the perfume can be interpreted in two ways. It’s a literal reference to the rich history and culture of India: hawab or nabob meaning ‘the ruler’, and Oudh the historical name of the modern day Uttar Pradesh region. However, given the current fashion for oud perfumes, you can interpret the name “the oud to rule them all’.

Nawab of Oudh has the complex architecture of many ingredients, surrounding the oud heart deep within. And on the way there, you will travel through layers of cardamom and other fresh spices, extravagant garlands of exotic flowers, the sea breeze of ambergris, and more.

The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42% - hence the 'intensivo' in the title.

“Živeli” (ZHEE-vuh-lee) is a common Serbian toast used to wish good health and a long life. In this extrait, a juicy burst of plum brandy melts into a leathered tobacco, encapsulating a celebratory night out with friends. Giddy joy is further fluffed by cherry and raspberry notes, while the leather aspect is warmed by honey, saffron and labdanum.

This composition is 24% parfum concentration, with 70% natural ingredients. Capped in Mexican Riviera Gray marble in a delicately etched glass bottle.
