Lemony Licorice!

Like many Caron perfumes this goes through various phases, which I like in particular. The one thing I can't figure out is where the smokiness is coming from! I would guess from the licorice, but, on my skin its faint but there and adds quite a lot of depth in the drydown.

I really love the rush of freshness with the lemon verbana in the beginning, and the drydown is where I get the the licorice the very faint smokiness, and the spices. This is like 2 perfumes in one!

I don't find this to be ordinary at all, and really very unusual for a Caron in particular! This to me is a 3 season scent. Maybe even 4 to add a ray of sunshine to the winter doldrums.

This is also quite unisex. Guys could wear this without issue.

Sillage is low after the initial hour or so, but everything can't be a sillage monster right? Longevity however, is really amazing for an EDT...8+ hours.

Lemony Herbal Cologne--Light on the Licorice

I recently tested Hermès Hermessence BRIN DE REGLISSE, next to which Caron EAU DE REGLISSE seems *very* light on the licorice. This composition reminds me much more of the Lolita Lempicka limited edition EAU DU DESIR. I know, I know, obscurum per obscurius...

So what's it all about? A very lemony herbal cologne with a underlying light layer of licorice in an oriental base which becomes sweeter in the drydown--must be the vanilla, though this does not smell very vanilla-y, in the end. EAU DE REGLISSE is definitely more sweet than EAU DU DESIR, which is a super-refreshing herbal-lemon cologne.

I like EAU DE REGLISSE, but for what it is, I do think that EAU DU DESIR is quite a bit better, and if I were looking for all black licorice almost all of the time (with a touch of lavender...) I'd go for BRIN DE REGLISSE.

A cup of herbal liquorice tea, anyone ?

This one opens like a typical cologne with a bright lemon verbena, which is quickly joined by anise or liquorice. Actually the very sharp lemon verbena reminds me quite a lot of "Escale a Portofino" by Dior, but with liquorice hiding slightly below it and slowly peeking through as time passes, joined by teasing hints of coffee as well. A little later the licorice is also joined by a fresh ginger accord, that only sits around for about half an hour before it dries down to a sweet milky and musky woody base, with patchouli and vanilla as the main players.

Straight up this is not a semi-gourmand licorice scent like Body Kouros or Lempicka au Masculin, as it only turns sweet in the drydown, but actually there are some similarities to the drydown of Body Kouros after 3-4 hours. A bright, sharp and clean fragrance and quite minimalistic, even if it's not linear as such. Very unisex indeed.

Projection and longevity are unfortunately on the duller side, projecting for a good hour, but as it passes into the drydown it turns into a skinscent. I would find this to be mostly suitable for a warmer summer day.

Licorice Fougere

It’s very interesting, well-balanced Licorice Fougere with sunny citrus of Dior Eau Sauvage/Diorella, followed by lavender, gentle touch of vanilla, spicy herbs, galbanum, musk and oak-moss. Perfect for a long relaxing weekend.

Licorice from Start to Finish

If you like licorice or sweet wood, you’re in the right place. The scent is a bit unusually spicy in the top note, but even here the sweet wood is present..
In the heart note, it’s wonderful, the somehow sharp ginger mixed with sweet wood, but don’t worry, vanilla is only very faintly detectable as a fixation, rather a bit of patchouli and again sweet wood lets the scent, which lasts long on me, gently fade away.
A fragrance for men and women, not floral, not lemony; the ingredients may sound somewhat boring, but you should definitely give it a try, very unusual as it really smells like licorice, from start to finish.
And the scent somehow reminds me of a witch's kitchen from a fairy tale; at least that’s how I imagined a witch's kitchen would smell when I was a child.
But just test it for yourself.
