10 perfumes in similar style to Spring Flower by Creed

The Orange Extraordinaire collection.

A perfume inspired by Isaac Newton, apples, afternoon tea and the invisible forces that pull people closer.

This perfume is the first experiment of the house for their new extraordinaire line (not that they ever favored ordinary or safe).

Firstly, Experimentum Crucis has the most extraordinary projection and longevity as well as a novel multidimensional architecture of a formula. As you wear it, a scented dimension of Experimentum Crucis comes into being around you. No wonder, as the inspiration behind the perfume is the extraordinary Isaac Newton, the theory of gravity and the setup of universe.

To balance the perfume’s amazing projection, its character is quite transparent. It’s made up of elusive soft woods, a hint of waxy apple skin aroma, a shade of distant gentle tea rose and some spicy sparks. All notes are amalgamated together into a nebulous aromatic galaxy.

An aromatic, dreamy citrus scent inspired by the sumptuous Andalusician city of Marbella. With rose, amber and peach this perfume is fresh, floral and sophisticated.

The soft, gentle, enveloping fragrance of Teint de Neige in its most concentrated version. Recalling images and atmosphere of the belle-époque, with sweet and powdery notes of jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang on a base of musk, tonka beans and heliotrope.

An ode to the most noble flowers in perfume. This is an exquisite composition that denotes the floral symbol of femininity, love, passion, adoration and admiration.

Citrusy freshness mixed with jasmine, freesia and violet and lily, Lys Nobilis offers a beautifully refined scent with a lasting effect.

Perfumer: Luca Maffei, Atelier Fragranze Milano – Italy

Ultimate vintage glory. Mandodari Mandodari feels like it belongs to the era before the mass production and synthetic musks took the industry over. It’s a complex blend featuring precious rich floral absolutes and animalic bases.

This perfume (at 48% strength) is double the concentration of the original Mandodari. The perfumer adds extra smokiness with the tropical sal tree absolute (choya raal) and a tree ash accord (cade oil + birch tar).

Absolutes of rose de Mai, jasmine grandiflorum, orange blossom, tuberose as well as natural ambergris and civet steer the formula in the vintage dimension. There is an intentional YSL’s Opium spicy cameo too.

In 203 sweet berries meet rose and radiant amber.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story. Try 203 if you like carefree sunny perfumes full of fragrant references to summer: ripe berries, sea breeze, blooming roses and jasmine.

Perfumer for 203: Corinne Cachen

Rich, musky and powdery Besos (Spanish for kisses) has a big spicy jasmine sambac heart. The volatile carefree flower is anchored with earthy powdery iris  absolu and ambery benzoin.

Perfumer: Shyamala Maisondieu, the nose behind perfumes such as Velvet Orchid (Tom Ford), Incognito (Rouge Bunny Rouge), Terre de Lumiere (L`Occitane) among others.

The Sniff on Besos:

"... the heart of Besos is delicately and pleasantly floral. It has shades of both carnation and strawberry milkshake at times but it is never overpowering or too sweet. As it opens fully it becomes dry, powdery and almost a little old-fashioned. One can imagine a beautifully coiffed Edwardian lady smelling like this."

Moonlight was commissioned by Brocard to Bertrand Duchaufour. It is the brand’s first experiment with an approach to perfume making as conceptual art and luxury.

To understand this perfume you need to ponder on the nature of monlight and the fact that it is only sunlight reflected off the lifeless satellite.

The perfume feels even more tender, a bit like the Moon’s reflection in a pond. The formula is a uniform gentle flow of cool spices, splashes of freesia, mimosa and iris interlaced with oakmoss and musk. It stays close to skin as if designed to be a to be a secret known only by the wearer.

The bottle deserves a separate mention, it's heavy crystal with exactly 57 facets, the same number you have in the classic diamond cut, the perfect number to capture light inside the crystal and to make it pulse within. 

You can actually spin the bottle (the base has been cut in a special way) to admire the play of light inside the moonstone coloured tincture.

A scent of dead rose vine. A dry and withered being, stomped upon by those who once loved.

FLORIAN GALLO

Perfumer: Tomoo Inaba

Rich and gothic Moth starts with a heavy dose of dark spices to jolt your senses before settling into a dusting of honey-sweet rose and powdery florals. Slowly, it tests its wings, taking flight on an exotic journey of nagarmotha, guaiac wood and patchouli. Beneath it all lingers a smoky undertone that serves as a constant reminder to fluttering creatures of the danger in the tantalizing flame.
