Dossier Fragrances that Promise to Delight the Senses

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

As you are already aware, I am so impressed by Dossier fragrances (Reviewed HERE & HERE) that I eagerly continue to try their fragrances, and I am delighted by their selection and quality.

As I previously noted,

Dossier makes high quality cruelty-free and vegan fragrances that are very luxurious, and yet quite affordable. Inspired by famous iconic perfumes, their permutations are equally compelling, but at a fraction of the price. Their elegant glass bottles are punctuated my thick metal caps with a magnetic closure, and everything about their fragrances embody high quality and high style. I think that this is a brand that everyone who loves perfume should know about. 

While Dossier got their start making fragrances inspired by iconic perfumes, they just launched Dossier Originals, The Genderless Collection, which is a new chapter that explores their own creative vision in perfume making. I can hardly wait to experience them!

Dossier's Mission:

Dossier was founded out of a desire to make premium fragrances accessible to everyone. As scent enthusiasts ourselves, it became impossible for us to turn a blind eye to the price markups traditionally seen in the industry. Whether it be marking up scents because of celebrity endorsement fees or pricey packaging, we realized perfumes were being sold for way more than they cost to make.

It’s time to say goodbye to feeling lost or left behind when it comes to experiencing premium fragrances and to welcome a new way to shop; your own. With Dossier, enjoying clean, ethically sourced, long-lasting, high-end perfume is within reach.

For those who feel overlooked by the industry, who are tired of fragrances being an investment, or who are curious about stepping into a new way of consuming perfumes, we can’t wait to take the journey with you.

All of their fragrances are Vegan | Cruelty-free | Clean ingredients | Paraben & Phthalate-free | Colorant & UV Filter Free. 

Dossier Woody Sandalwood ($49.00 for 1.7 oz.) which is inspired by Le Labo Santal 33, is a gorgeous unisex fragrance that is warm, rich, woody and smoky. It is moody with just enough sweetness to temper the richness and the creaminess– making it a more complex and compelling scent. I do not own the Le Labo perfume, from which it sought inspiration, but I am familiar with it, and this is a lovely nod to the original. On me, it is long-wearing, and it sits close to the skin.

Notes:

• TOP (The first notes you smell): Violet Leaves, Cardamom
• MIDDLE (The heart of the perfume): Orris, Ambrox, Cedarwood, Cypriol
• BASE (The notes that linger all day): Musk, Sandalwood, Amber

According to Dossier,

Woody Sandalwood (inspired by Le Labo Fragrances' Santal 33) is a tribute to the often underutilized precious nature of Sandalwood. Often considered a second player in the perfume industry, this scent capitalizes on the highest quality sandalwood: the Mysore variety from India. The result is uncomparable sandalwood that highlights its creamy facets, perfectly balancing the sharpness of other woods, while simultaneously giving a smooth continuity to floral bouquets. Pair that with the magical nature of sweet violet, classic orris, and woodsy musk, and Woodsy Sandalwood will soon become a new classic.

Qualitative and minimalistic, Woody Sandalwood (our impression of Le Labo Fragrances' Santal 33) brings to mind the comfort of a warm hug, conveying a strong feeling of inner sensuality that’s unmatched by any comparable scent.

Ingredients: Amyris Ess, Cardamom Ess, Carrot Ess, Cypriol Ess, Sandalwood Ess, Timbersilk, Musk T, Beta Ionone, Cashmeran, Methyl Laitone, Ambrox DL, Ambroxan, Florol, Vertenex, Undecavertol, Phenoxanol, Hedione, Vanilline, Bacdanol.

Concentration: 25% | Gender: Unisex

Dossier Ambery Cherry ($49.00 for 1.7 oz.) which is inspired by Tom Ford Lost Cherry, is a unisex fragrance that concerned me at first. When I first sprayed it, the top notes smelled like maraschino cherries with almond drizzle, but after a few minutes there was a wonderful unfolding of the rose and jasmine, and once the creamy and warm base notes, punctuated by vanilla, emerged, then it became a warm and creamy fruity floral that was utterly scrumptious. I was afraid that I was going to smell like a pâtisserie, but once the potency of the cherry receded, this proved to be an utterly gorgeous fragrance.

Notes:

• TOP (The first notes you smell): Cherry, Almond, Cinnamon
• MIDDLE (The heart of the perfume): Cloves, Rose, Jasmine, Plum
• BASE (The notes that linger all day): Peru Balsam, Tonka Bean, Vanilla

According to Dossier,

Ambery Cherry (inspired by Tom Ford's Lost Cherry) opens with an incredible burst of cherry and almond, which progressively vanishes to give room to warm spices, like cinnamon and clove, and fresh flowers, like rose and jasmine. Next, vanilla and Peru balm materialize, warming up the fragrance to give room for a rich and ambery structure.

Daring, extravert, and gourmand, Ambery Cherry (our impression of Tom Ford's Lost Cherry) is a unique and tantalizing statement, drawing you in or leaving you looking for more. Either way, it’s a scent that can’t be ignored.

Ingredients: Almond Abs, Benzoin Siam Res, Guaiac Wood Ess, Lie de Vin Ess, Vetiver Ess, Hedione, Iso E Super, Habanolide, Vanilline, Coumarine, Sandalore, Heliotropine, Ebanol, Benzaldehyde, Phenyl Ethyl Alcohol, Ambroxan, Ethyl Vanilline, Acetyl Acetate Ethyl, Anisic Aldehyde, Styrallyl Acetate.

Concentration: 18% | Gender: Unisex

Dossier Powdery Coconut ($39.00 for 1.7 oz.), which is inspired by Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, is a unisex fragrance that is such a surprising juxtaposition of notes. It opens with a spicy cardamom that mingles with the citrus and pistachio, but then the creaminess of the ylang ylang and florals are punctuated by the cedarwood and amber. Once these notes mingle with the coconut, the impression is warm and yet airy. It is such a lovely aroma that wears most of the day on me.

Notes:

• TOP (The first notes you smell): Cardamom, Pistachio, Bergamot
• MIDDLE (The heart of the perfume): Ylang Ylang, Tuberose, Jasmine
• BASE (The notes that linger all day): Cedarwood, Amber, Benzoin, Coconut

According to Dossier,

Powdery Coconut (inspired by Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc) opens with a surprising cardamon-pistachio duet, quickly joined by a bouquet of white flowers led by Ylang Ylang (an exotic flower with multiple sweet, spicy, and slightly fruity facets). The base of the fragrance strengthens the warmth of the heart thanks to amber and benzoin. Pair all of that with the coconut notes to help maintain the sunny character of the fragrance.

Lush, unexpected, and warming, Powdery Coconut (our impression of Tom Ford's Soleil Blanc) is a highly qualitative solar fragrance that will inspire you to curl up in a surprisingly sultry bubble of comfort!

Ingredients: Pink Pepper Ess, Benzoin Res, Bergamot Ess, Cardamom Ess, Mandarin Ess, Petitgrain Ess, Ylang Ess, Benzyl Salicylate, Hedione, Musk T, Muscenone, Cosmone, Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate, Ethyl Linalol, Heliotropine, Iso E Super,Vanilline, Timbersilk, Linalyl Acetate,Benzyl Acetate, Aldehyde C18, Methyl Anthranilate, Benzyl Propionate, Phenylethyl Alcohol, Hydroxycitronellal.

Concentration: 18% | Gender: Unisex

Dossier Spicy Orchid ($39.00 for 1.7 oz.), which is inspired by Tom Ford Black Orchid, is a sultry unisex fragrance that really captures the spirit of Black Orchid. It is a dark and moody scent that is warm, spicy and altogether intoxicating. As the scent opens up, the spiciness from the cinnamon and pink pepper slowly gives way to the ylang ylang, and then the warm and creamy sandalwood, vanilla and patchouli emerge at the base. The is a wonderful and rich aroma that lasts all day on me.

Notes:

• TOP (The first notes you smell): Cinnamon, Pink Pepper, Mandarin
• MIDDLE (The heart of the perfume): Ylang Ylang, Orchid, Plum
• BASE (The notes that linger all day): Sandalwood, Vanilla, Incense, Patchouli

According to Dossier,

Spicy Orchid (inspired by Tom Ford's Black Orchid) opens with a combination of cinnamon, pink pepper, and ylang-ylang. Together, these pairings drive directly to the orchid heart. Rich and multi-faceted, as the fragrance evaporates, patchouli, creamy sandalwood, plum, and vanilla wrap the orchid in an opulent trail.

Dense, assertive, and sensuous, Spicy Orchid (our impression of Tom Ford's Black Orchid) is an intoxicating floral scent, reminiscent of exotic summer nights.

Ingredients: Pink Pepper Ess, Lemon Ess, Patchouli Ess, Vetiver Ess, Ylang Ess, Exaltolide, Iso E Super, Hedione, Vanlline, Bacdanol, Linalol, Habanolide, Vertofix, Beta Ionone, Florol, Cinnamic Alcohol, Ambrox DL, Aldehyde C18, Vetynal, Canthoxal, DMBC Butyrate, Sandalore, Citronellol, Benzyl Acetate, Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate, Linalyl Acetate, Coumarine, Geraniol.

Dossier Fougere Oud ($39.00 for 1.7 oz), which is inspired by Tom Ford Oud Wood, is a unisex fragrance that is a leathery and woodsy Oud punctuated by tobacco, patchouli and pink pepper. The cedarwood emerges after a few minutes, and it adds a beautiful complexity to this deep, rich and captivating scent. This is long-lasting and potent, and this is a wonderful scent for people captivated by rich oud fragrances.

Notes:

• TOP (The first notes you smell): Rosewood, Tobacco, Pink Pepper, Coriander
• MIDDLE (The heart of the perfume): Oud, Patchouli, Vetiver
• BASE (The notes that linger all day): Tonka Bean, Labdanum, Cedarwood

According to Dossier,

Oud - also named Agarwood - is one of the most exclusive raw materials in perfumery, coming from a tropical evergreen tree called the Agar tree. When certain fungi grow on this tree, the tree naturally responds by releasing a resin which gives rise to the formation of resinous heartwood, known as Oud. Mainly used in the Middle East, Oud contributes mesmerizingly deep, warm, spicy, leathery, balsamic, and woody notes.

Mysterious and intense, Fougere Oud (inspired by Tom Ford's Oud Wood) offers a twist of Orient with a traditional masculine fragrance structure named "fougere" (a blend of citrus, geranium, and patchouli notes).

Ingredients: Pink Pepper Ess, Guaiac Wood Ess, Cardamom Ess, Cypriol Ess, Incense Ess, Tonka Bean Abs, Patchouli Ess, Sandalwood Ess, Iso E Super, Musk T, Kephalis, Linalol, Z11, Hedione, Helveltolide, Ethyl Linalyl Acetate, Ambroxan, Cashmeran, Vanilline, Coumarine, Heliotropine.

Inspired by famous iconic perfumes, their permutations are equally compelling, but at a fraction of the price. Their elegant glass bottles are punctuated my thick metal caps with a magnetic closure, and everything about their fragrances embody high quality and high style.

As you know from my last review of Dossier fragrances (HERE), I think that this is a brand that everyone who loves perfume should know about.

Dossier's Mission:

Dossier was founded out of a desire to make premium fragrances accessible to everyone.

For those who feel overlooked by the industry, who are tired of fragrances being an investment, or who are curious about stepping into a new way of consuming perfumes, we can’t wait to take the journey with you.

Dossier Floral Jasmine ($39.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired by Tom Ford Jasmine Rouge, Floral Jasmine is a luscious and intoxicatingly beautiful permutation, and interpretation, of Jasmine. For me, the Tom Ford fragrance has a intense syrupy thickness that can be a bit heavy and unrelenting, and therefore the Dossier's variant is preferable for my body chemistry. Jasmine Sambac is tempered by the Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage and Vanilla, and the end result is a warm and creamy floral with just a touch of spice. It is sublime, luxurious and thoroughly enveloping without being too heavy. 

According to Dossier,

Floral Jasmine (inspired by Tom Ford's Jasmin Rouge) unveils all the facets of Jamine Sambac, one of the most wonderful species of jasmine, native to tropical Asia. In this creation, the voluptuous aspects of this unique raw material - already a fragrance in and of itself - are highlighted with a spicy touch on the opening, a saturated floral heart, and a sensuous base.

Exuberant, natural, and self-indulgent, Floral Jasmine is THE scent for jasmine lovers, or for anyone willing to discover the scent of this beautiful flower at its best.

TOP NOTES (the first notes you smell): Neroli, Cardamom, Bergamot, Pepper

Dossier Powdery Hawthorn ($39.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired By Tom Ford Metallique, Powdery Hawthorn opens up with a stunning citrus aroma, but as it dries down the vanilla adds a creamy and warm sensibility that rounds out the edges of the citrus. It is a fruity floral that has a chameleon complexity that enables it to undergo a stunning metamorphosis throughout the day.

According to Dossier,

Powdery Hawthorn (inspired by Tom Ford's Metallique) re-creates the powdery scent of ancient cosmetics and fragrances, blending flowers that are no longer common, like hawthorn and heliotrope. Paired with warm vanilla, balm, and Aldehydes (synthetic molecules discovered more than a century ago), this scent is energized with floral notes, adding a dazzling and metallic touch.

Luminous and surprising, like a second skin, Powdery Hawthorn is an incredible journey through time, revisiting a vintage fragrance structure with a futuristic metallic twist.

An indulging coalescence of floral saccharine and deep vanilla, the allure of the Tom Ford Metallique Eau de Parfum is akin to bathing in the falls of Skógafoss. Although sometimes marketed as a feminine fragrance, this is a unisex perfume that can be worn by both men and women. In fact, it packs a punch with gender-neutral richness and intoxicating appeal. It is a definitive take on bold veracity and fearlessness.

Opening with subtly light top notes of bergamot and metallic aldehydes, the scent revives your olfactories like a gust of fresh air. It then combines the depth and power of woody vanilla and creamy sandalwood into an aroma that unlocks your inner verve and vitality. The floral notes of white hawthorn and lily-of-the-valley also blend through seamlessly to create an intricately designed fusion of flowery woodland.

TOP NOTES (the first notes you smell): Aldehydes, Neroli, Orange Blossom

Vegan | Paraben & Phthalate-free | Colorant & UV Filter Free.

Dossier Ambery Sage ($49.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired by Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous, this unisex scent is a leathery fragrance that has a warm undercurrent from the amber and vanilla, but a slight sharpness from the lavender, sage and bitter almond. The woodsy and leather notes, mixed with the herbal notes, create a very distinct and spicy aroma that is warm and enduring. It is a truly remarkable scent.

According to Dossier,

Ambery Sage (inspired by Tom Ford's Fucking Fabulous) is a deep textural fragrance, opening on a dense sage and bitter almond duet, quickly gaining momentum thanks to a reconstituted but extremely expressive leather accord, ennobled by orris roots. In the background, tonka bean and amber notes still warm this luscious composition.

Intoxicating, decadent, intense, Ambery Sage is the perfume of all excesses, without any compromise on the quality of raw materials.

Vegan | Paraben & Phthalate-free | Colorant & UV Filter Free.

Dossier Floral Rose ($39.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired by Le Labo Rose 31, this is a beautiful interpretation of the iconic Le Labo scent. This fragrance opens up as a clear Rose, but don't be fooled into thinking that it is a typical rose scent. Instead, the incense, cedarwood, musk and amber create a rich and complex aroma that is punctuated by the rose. It boasts a spicy woodsy sensibility that tempers the sweetness of the rose, and it is altogether intoxicating.

According to Dossier,

Floral Rose (inspired by Le Labo's Rose 31) capitalizes on the rich scent of the beloved queen amongst flowers: Rose Centifolia. Boasting a soft floral finish and rich femininity, Floral Rose is paired with smoky cumin, mystical incense, unexpected ciste, and warm amber. Together, these additions result in the unveiling of the dark side of Rose Centifolia, not unlike highlighting the unlit face of the moon...

Gender fluid and highly qualitative, Floral Rose (our impression of Le Labo's Rose 31) perfectly alternates between feminine and masculine, without any false notes.

A gorgeous feast of floral notes, Le Labo Rose 31 presents a bouquet of sensational tones worn to flatter and envelope its owner. The unique blend of rose and cumin top notes, along with the woody cedar and agarwood undertones lets anyone experience the complexity of it. The subtle freshness of the unisex Rose 31 fragrance means it is worn to accessorize you, like a delicate piece of jewelry that subliminally accentuates the décolletage. The fusion of these beautiful botanical top and base notes creates an unguarded scent of vulnerability that demands to be discovered and understood by whoever passes by. The central floral note of the Le Labo Rose 31 is that of Centifolia rose, a deliciously traditional fragrance used to make every spritz feel like stepping into a blooming woodland of Spring roses.

TOP NOTES (the first notes you smell): Rose Centifolia, Cumin

MIDDLE NOTES (the heart of the perfume): Vetiver, Incense, Cedarwood

Dossier Aromatic Star Anise Eau de Toilette ($29.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired by Dior's Sauvage, Aromatic Star Anise Eau de Toilette is a decidedly woodsy scent that is punctuated by pepper, patchouli, amberwood, citrus and lavender. While it is considered a masculine fragrance, I actually think that the dry down is more of a unisex scent. I do not have Dior Sauvage, against which I can compare this scent, but it is warm, woodsy and decidedly tantalizing. 

According to Dossier,

Aromatic Star Anise (inspired by Dior's Sauvage) rewrites a very classical masculine fragrance structure named "fougere" (a blend of citrus notes, lavender, geranium, and patchouli). Paired with highly qualitative raw materials and a touch of fantasy thanks to star anise, this scent delights the senses in a whole new way. Aromatic Star Anise from Dossier pays tribute to one of the most recognizable scents in the world: Sauvage by Dior.

Dossier's Aromatic Star Anise is a Dior Sauvage dupe that's more sophisticated and richer than anything else available in the market. Designed based on the traditional French fragrance formula "fougere", which consists of a citrus scent with lavender, geranium, and patchouli notes, our take on this popular eau de toilette seduces all kinds of customers, with zero compromises on scent.

Our Dior Sauvage dupe radiates a fresh, spicy flavor. Aside from the citrus note, you also get a delicious blend of juicy Calabrian bergamot, mandarin notes, and spiced star anise. Outdoorsy and fresh, Aromatic Star Anise (our impression of Dior's Sauvage) expresses strong, unmistakable masculinity.

TOP NOTES (the first notes you smell): Bergamot, Pepper, Star Anise

MIDDLE NOTES (the heart of the perfume): Lavender, Nutmeg, Geranium

BASE NOTES (the notes that linger all day): Patchouli, Amberwood, Vetiver

Vegan | Paraben & Phthalate-free | Colorant & UV Filter Free.

Dossier Powdery Tobacco Eau de Parfum ($39.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired by Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, Dossier really captured the spirit of the original. Having worn Tom Ford's iconic fragrance for many years, I was skeptical that anyone could come close to grasping the complexity of this scent, and yet they have. This is an utterly intoxicating fragrance that is rich, creamy, complex and sensual. The smoky tobacco is warmed up by the creamy vanilla, and it is nothing short of a modern masterpiece, and Dossier was able to convey this with their nod to this iconic fragrance. I live in the original scent every fall and winter, and will happily do the same with Dossier's Powdery Tobacco.

According to Dossier,

Powdery Tobacco (inspired by Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille) sublimates the unique scent of tobacco leaves. Fruity and sweet honey facets of tobacco are highlighted, and lit up by a touch of ginger. Then, the fragrance unfolds at the base for more depth thanks to vanilla, tonka bean, and gourmand notes of dry fruit and cacao.

Opulent, highly qualitative, and assertive, Powdery Tobacco (our impression of Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille) perfectly reinvents the cozy atmosphere of the lounge in a London club. 

This is a distinct scent that compels, seduces, and mesmerizes. Plus, it is stylish and adaptable enough to meet the needs of both men and women. Delve into the most adventurous roots of love as top notes of tobacco leaf and spice massage your olfactories. Release your inherent verve as middle notes of vanilla, cacao, and tonka bean imbue you with youthfulness. Receive inspiring visions of glacier-carved cliffs and granite hills as base notes of dried fruits and woody notes tease your senses.

Our Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille dupe channels the spirits of tobacco leaves, vanilla, tonka bean, dry fruit, and cacao into a fragrance that permeates you with cherub-like exuberance. Taste the sweetness of budding florals and aromatic petals as this bouquet spices up your mood. Powdery Tobacco is your best choice if you wish to revel in the fruity and sweet honey facets of tobacco.

Dossier Citrus Neroli Eau de Parfum ($39.00 for 1.7 oz. from Dossier): Inspired by Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, this fetching fragrance embodies the DNA of the original– a fact to which I can attest given that I have worn the original for many years. The citrus top notes are tempered by warmth of the amber and musk base notes, and the result is an alluring fresh and modern scent that is breathtakingly beautiful. I usually wear the original scent in the summer and spring, and it gives me such great pleasure. I will happily do the same with Dossier's Citrus Neroli.

According to Dossier,

Citrus Neroli (inspired by Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino) lifts traditional Cologne structure up, mixing armfuls of effervescent, fizzing citrus notes. In this fragrance, association of musk and neroli (distilled orange blossom) brings a pure cleanness sensation, also carrying softness and long lastingness to the sparkling freshness.

Directly inspired by the smells and sensations of the Italian Riviera, Citrus Neroli (our impression of Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino) combines freshness and warmth. Hidden behind an apparent simplicity, the beauty of this complex construction can make it surprisingly addictive, though.

Inspired by the rich citrusy scent of neroli – a flower lending its name from the Italian Riviera, Neroli Portofino in the Tom Ford collection calls to mind the unique olfactory properties of its eponym – fresh, honeyed, and full of floral luxury. The fragrance stands out from other brands, transporting you to a blissful stroll amidst lemon trees and myrtle bushes, with the wonderful smell of verdant foliage lingering in the crisp hot air of a summer’s day. 

TOP NOTES (the first notes you smell): Neroli, Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon
