Welcome to Big Boss Fragrance Reviews, where Christopher Lee, aka "Big Boss," explores the world of scents. Discover the latest fragrances, get in-depth reviews, and find your signature scent. Join us on this aromatic journey!
Parfums de Marly has released a trio of flankers: Carlos, Eragon, and Valero — positioned as fresh/spicy interpretations within the brand’s lineup. These have been widely tested and reviewed by fragrance communities and all show mid-to-low consumer ratings compared to other PdM releases.
Confirmed Notes & Reception
• Carlos – citrus, pink pepper, black pepper, geranium, red thyme, ambroxan, tonka, vetiver & cedarwood. Rated ~2.9/5 by community voters.
These scores place the trio below many classic niche standouts, though they still appeal to fans of fresh, aromatic compositions.
Availability & Pricing • All three are currently available worldwide via authorized Parfums de Marly retailers and boutiques. • Standard edp sizes (100ml): $320–$380 USD retail, with discounts often seen on larger e-commerce fragrance marketplaces. • Decants & samples available from niche sellers (~$8–$30 each).
Perfume Comparisons For context: • Carlos sits in a similar fresh-spicy category as Creed Aventus Cologne (but leaner and with pepper prominence). • Eragon recalls the bright spice of Montblanc Explorer Ultra Blue with extra warmth. • Valero can be compared to Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Cologne for its aromatic citrus spice profile.
Consumer Feedback Reviewers praise their wearability and mass appeal, but many note they lack the distinctive depth expected from classic PdM signatures.
Armani has officially entered 2026 with a bold new fragrance energy: Power of You, the latest addition to the Emporio Armani family that blends bright tropical passionfruit, creamy florals, and warm vanilla sweetness into a modern gourmand experience that’s both uplifting and sensual. 
Unlike Stronger With You flankers that lean amber-spicy or woody, Power of You is vibrant, juicy, and radiant — perfect for everyday wear, date nights, or those moments when you want a scent that feels confident without trying too hard. The composition opens with passionfruit, evolves into elegant frangipani, and settles into a smooth vanilla base that lingers all day. 
Price & Availability: 💸 Estimated around $95–$125 USD for typical Emporio Armani formats (50–100 ml). 🛍️ Already available online and in stores at official Armani Beauty counters, major retailers, and duty-free locations. Armani Beauty’s fragrance catalog lists multiple Emporio Armani You family releases, and Power of You is rolling out as the newest signature. 
Where to find it: ✨ Armani Beauty official website ✨ Department stores with Armani counters (Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s) ✨ Sephora & Ulta where Armani fragrances are stocked
Perfume family context: This sits in the larger Emporio Armani You universe — alongside classics like Emporio You and Stronger With You — but carved out as its own fruity-vanilla forward statement rather than a spicy amber iteration. Fans of lighter, fruity-floral vanillas will appreciate how it contrasts with deeper flankers like Stronger With You Parfum. 
What people love: 🌟 Juicy passionfruit for a fresh, modern opening 🌟 Creamy frangipani for a tropical floral heart 🌟 Vanilla for warmth and longevity 🌟 A feel-good scent that works year-round — especially spring to early fall
Armani’s Power of You isn’t just another release — it’s a new signature vibe that blends youthful energy with everyday elegance.
Ryziger Parfums has officially released Sexy Dirty Bastard, a bold extrait de parfum that leans fully into modern niche territory. This is an unapologetic, statement-making scent built for those who enjoy fragrance with weight, depth, and attitude. The opening blends hibiscus, raspberry, and cinnamon for a rich, slightly sweet spice, setting the stage for a dark floral heart of rose layered with benzoin and cypriol. As it dries down, bourbon vanilla, musk, and oud take over, creating a warm, sensual base that feels dense, intimate, and intentionally provocative.
This is not designed to be subtle or crowd-pleasing. Sexy Dirty Bastard wears confidently, with a plush rose-vanilla-oud structure that nods toward the modern luxury niche style while maintaining its own identity. It’s bold, slightly dirty, and clearly meant for evenings, colder weather, or moments when presence matters.
Availability: Sexy Dirty Bastard is officially available now through Ryziger Parfums’ website and select niche fragrance retailers.
Price: $275 USD, positioning it firmly in the high-end niche category alongside other extrait-level luxury releases.
If you’re following the newest niche launches rather than mass-market drops, this is one of the more talked-about releases right now.
A smooth, modern unisex fragrance blending iris, chestnut, pear, and pink pepper up top, flowing into jasmine and caraway, and settling into a warm base of vanilla, angelica, and cedar. Creamy, musky, and softly sweet without being loud. Price: ~$95–$120 (50ml) Availability: Available now via Christopher Lee Fragrances (official website & drops) Info Source: Brand release details & note pyramid

⸻
3. Byredo – Bal d’Afrique Absolu
A brighter, more concentrated spin on the classic. Blackcurrant, bergamot, and lemon sparkle on top, with violet, praline, and musk, drying down to amber, vetiver, and cedarwood. Effortlessly wearable. Price: ~$320–$350 Availability: Byredo boutiques, Byredo.com, high-end department stores Info Source: Brand listings & retailer pricing
⸻
4. Matiere Premiere – Vanilla Powder
Minimalist but luxurious. Vanilla absolute leads, supported by coconut powder, tonka bean, white musk, and palo santo. Soft, airy, and intimate—true skin scent energy. Price: ~$240–$270 Availability: Niche fragrance retailers, LuckyScent, Matiere Premiere boutiques Info Source: Brand note breakdowns
⸻
5. Christian Dior – Ambre Nuit
A timeless unisex amber built around cinnamon and cardamom, layered with soft spices, and grounded in amber and musk. Elegant, smooth, and refined. Price: ~$300–$330 (125ml) Availability: Dior boutiques, Dior.com, select luxury department stores Info Source: Dior Maison Collection listings
⸻
Final Thought: This lineup shows where unisex perfumery is heading in 2025—warm ambers, refined sweetness, soft woods, and skin-centric luxury. No gimmicks. Just quality, balance, and presence.
