  I stumbled upon this French house with its discovery set (and watch out, the customer service is top-notch). Although the notes weren’t my favourites at first, I’ve been hugely surprised. It smells dry, very dry, and barely sweet despite the tonka bean. The hazelnut accord is clear, as if they were grated, toasted and dried, but without the bitterness of the skin; it doesn’t smell like a jar of nuts. The saffron wants to speak but is blended so well that it doesn’t dominate; it’s original and welcome, far from those heavy oriental saffrans. Here, the tobacco, mixed with an unlisted iris, gives a dusty and elegant touch, like an old pipe tobacco but balanced. It’s not synthetic like the Tom Ford. I see it for everything, perhaps more for cold weather. It lasts about six hours with two sprays. It’s an accessible niche, but don’t buy it blindly; take advantage of the set discounts. It’s different, sober and elegant, provided you like those notes.

  Dusty and dry, the iris here shines with a woody touch and the bitterness of hazelnut. At first, it might catch you off guard, but once it settles, it becomes very refined. It’s not my dry style, but the quality is undeniable. Perfect for escaping the worn-out Dior Homme or Valentino. Projects well for two hours, and then, when you bring your nose close, it still smells good for another four or five. I can see myself wearing it in spring or autumn; it smells more feminine to me, though on that woody and bitter side, a man could wear it too. The best part is that the price is reasonable and the ingredients are wholesome. Au revoir!

  A nutty aroma with a powdery iris. The saffron is noticeable at first, but it’s not strident or overly oriental. I don’t feel the tobacco, just a slight smoky touch coming from the tonka bean. As it dries down, the almond and iris blend with a beautiful sandalwood, shifting from dry to creamy and addictive, sweeter but measured. Plus, it has an aromatic touch that balances the warmth and works brilliantly. Although it might seem otherwise, it’s not gourmand. It’s unisex, though it leans slightly feminine. Projection is moderate to high for the first two hours before settling into an intimate trail, lasting over eight hours. It’s not a beast mode, so I see it as autumnal or wintry, yet very versatile. In short: a beautiful, distinct, and fantastically constructed scent, one of my favourites from the entire collection.

  Oh la la is an absolute hidden gem. Whenever people talk about iris, they always mention Dior, Valentino or Prada, but Teo Cabanel stands right up there, if not better. I wore it in winter and received countless compliments, especially from women, which is rare; it’s a fragrance that’s hard to dislike and easy to love. A colleague even asked me what it was because she wanted to buy it herself. The only downside is that it’s only available on their website, although they do gift samples with your purchase. I hope this small niche house continues to exist so they can keep gifting us works of art like Oh la la. It’s an iris wrapped in sandalwood and hazelnuts with a touch of tonka bean; this sandalwood is pleasant and rounds off the iris, unlike Santal 33, which smells of rotting oranges to many. It lasts all day at work without needing reapplication, with good projection and trail. It amused me that a girl leaned in close to my neck and thought it was Carolina Herrera, even though it wasn’t, but she loved it. It’s the kind of fragrance you can’t hate, it captivates women, yet I believe it’s a masculine scent. I’d wear it in the cold; it might work in the heat, but I’d be wasting it. It’s the second best from the house, just behind Café Cabanel, which is now very expensive.

  Oh la la is a hidden gem. While everyone talks about Dior Homme or Prada L’Homme, Teo Cabanel stands its ground or even surpasses them. I wore it in winter and received many compliments, especially from women, which is no small feat. It’s hard to dislike and easy to love. My partner asked for the name so she could buy one herself. The only drawback is that it’s only sold on their website, although they now offer free samples. It’s an iris wrapped in sandalwood and hazelnuts with tonka bean. This sandalwood is pleasant, nothing like Santal 33, which smells of rotten oranges to some. It lasts the whole working day without needing reapplication, with constant bursts. It amused me that a girl who liked it came up to smell it and thought it was Carolina Herrera, but she loved it. I’d define it as the perfume you can’t hate, which women adore and can wear themselves, although I believe it’s masculine. I’d wear it in the cold, perhaps in the heat but that would be a waste. It’s the second best from the house, surpassed only by Café Cabanel.

  To me, it smells like nothing, not even the much-discussed iris. The iris isn’t subtle and should stand out here, but it doesn’t. There’s no trail or longevity. I don’t detect the tobacco either, just a hint of hazelnut if you concentrate hard. Another niche miss from Cabanel.

  This perfume smells like nothing at all, certainly not iris as some have claimed. Iris is hardly subtle; it stands out prominently and cannot be hidden. There is no trail and no longevity. I detected no tobacco either, only a hint of hazelnut if you know it’s there and concentrate hard. Another niche letdown from Cabanel. 😖

  The first Cabanel I actually like. It’s an iris that’s a little sweet, more powdery than creamy, reminding me of the scent of fresh paper. It’s not super complex, but it is comforting. For me, it sits in the same family as Sunny Side Up by Juliette has a Gun, though Oh la la is a touch sweeter, with a hint of rice similar to Kenzo Amour. It lasts around six hours with a soft to moderate trail.

  The first Cabanel that has won me over. A sweet iris, more powdery than creamy, smelling of paper straight from the printer. It’s not complex, but it’s comforting. It sits in the same family as Juliette has a Gun’s Sunny Side Up, though this is sweeter, with that rice note reminiscent of Kenzo Amour. Lasts around six hours and leaves a soft trail.

  Smells like a brand new furniture store, pure beige, and untouched car leather. It’s the scent of immaculate carpeting, a silent looping advertisement, and that longed-for Scandinavian vibe that makes you feel like you’re in another dimension.

  Smells like a load of Ikea wood, stepping into a brand-new shop, pure beige. It smells like the sales assistant giving you a dirty look, the display window with only three items, the untouched leather in a car nobody has driven. It smells like spotless carpeting, a screen replaying the same silent advert, and transracial Scandinavian longings.
