Pronounced "See-ah-j", is the French/technical term for the trail created by a scent when it is worn on the skin. It comes from the French for "wake" and can best be described as how a fragrance diffuses "in a person's wake," or behind the wearer as they move. A fragrance need not be a heavy one to have a large sillage. Sillage is not the same as projection (how a fragrance is perceived by others around the wearer). Instead, it is enhanced by motion and ambient temperature as well as the inherent qualities of the skin (as well as, to refer to my last post, if it contains Davana flower, or other similar "chameleon" ingredients). It (the skin chemistry) becomes a substrate to the scent. For the aforementioned "ambient temperature", this is why some scents, such as the Rayhaan Lion eau de parfum I previously posted, would be considered "too intense" for summer/hot weather. Whereas, the Armani Stronger With You line, for example, is better in cold weather; claimed by many to have a sillage over a kilometer. The video attached to this features a perfume student rating different men's colognes, and also mentions "sillage", among other terms. Also, her reaction to Armani SWYA from 4:58 to 5:30 is priceless ;-)

MITH is a modern Thai fragrance house. MITH means Made in Thailand, and the brand focuses on wearable, refined scents made with well-known international perfumers. Ferris Wheel Sunset is a MITH collaboration with Carnival. It was perfumed by Chris Maurice / Christian Carbonnel. Notes: bergamot, ginger, rosemary, geranium, ambergris, woods, amber. Ferris Wheel Sunset is a clean, fresh spicy citrus fragrance with a smooth amber-woody dry down. To me, it gives that sunset carnival vibe — bright at the top, a little aromatic in the middle, then smooth and masculine/unisex as it settles. I get bergamot and ginger first, then rosemary and geranium give it a classy green aromatic feel. The base is where it gets smoother with amber, woods, and ambergris. This is not a loud, heavy fragrance, but it performs better than a basic freshie. I would expect around 5–7 hours with a nice scent bubble for the first few hours, then it sits closer to the skin. Great casual scent, easy to wear, and very good for warm weather. Performance:Longevity: 5–7 hoursProjection: moderate, about 2–4 feet early Sillage: moderate trail Season: Summer / SpringUse: daytime, casual, summer evening Top 5 MITH fragrances I’d look at: 1. Mystery for Him 2. Ferris Wheel Sunset 3. Nude 4. Mellow Musk 5. Another Tea Ferris Wheel Sunset is a strong one from the house, especially if you like fresh citrus aromatics with a smooth woody amber finish.
