No 1. 3.1 Phillip Lim - Collage
Notes: Italian bergamot, white pepper extract, black pepper from Madagascar, juniper berry, magnolia accord, Indonesian patchouli, Virginian cedarwood, incense

Although I tend to think of Six Scents' fragrances to be unisex, this scent is a bit more on the masculine side, with citrus and pepper spiked with juniper berry and somehow smelling a little like rye bread. The cedar is more prominent than the patch or incense, but overall, the scent is light and fresh and sophisticated.

No 2. Damir Doma - End / Beginning
Notes: purple ginger extract, olibanum from Somalia, vetiver, cedarwood, guaiacwood, cardamom, coriander seed, cistus, birch tar, styrax, benzoin, tonka bean, sandalwood, beeswax absolute, gurjum balsam, patchouli, myrrh, opoponax, olibanum hyperessence

Despite all of the heavy spice and resin notes, No. 2 is actually fairly light with a predominate ginger note backed up by myrrh and patchouli. It's still warm and resinous and a bit sexy, perhaps a bit masculine but I'd wear it.
