EMES #214 Sugar Cane — A Citrus Fragrance with a Sugary Mood
EMES #214 Sugar Cane is an oil perfume released in 2017 by the American niche house EMES.
This unisex fragrance is for those who love fresh citrus compositions with a soft fruity nuance and the distinctive sweetness of sugar cane.
Its name perfectly captures the character of the fragrance: bright, juicy and appetising, while retaining a modern niche minimalism.
EMES was founded in the United States in 2013 and builds its aesthetic around purity of concept, numbered releases and distinctive perfumery concepts.
#214 Sugar Cane fits this direction perfectly: there is no attempt to create an overloaded pyramid, with the focus instead placed on the contrast between sparkling citrus freshness, juicy fruits and a green sugar cane accord.
Fragrance Character and Development
At first, #214 Sugar Cane comes across as a cool citrus burst with bright tartness and delicate sweetness.
Bergamot and lemon create a clean, crisp impression, while mandarin adds a sunny roundness.
Yuzu reinforces the composition's fresh character with a subtle bitterness, keeping the fragrance from becoming cloying.
As it develops, lychee joins the citrus core with its translucent fruity nuance.
Sugar cane softens the energetic opening and gives the fragrance a sense of natural sweetness reminiscent of fresh juice or a crisp green stalk.
As a result, the perfume remains airy while gaining a more noticeable, smooth and sensual presence.
Longevity, Sillage and Wearability
Oil perfume concentrations usually develop close to the skin, but this release is said to have very strong sillage.
It can therefore make a noticeable presence in its surroundings and is well suited to those who appreciate an expressive scent and want their perfume to remain perceptible throughout the day.
Information about the exact amount to apply to skin and clothing is not provided, so it is best to start with a small amount and assess the development gradually.
The citrus-fruity character makes #214 Sugar Cane especially suitable for spring and summer, warm weather, walks, dates or holidays.
In the cooler seasons, its sweet green side may unfold with greater density and brightness.
Who Will Enjoy EMES #214 Sugar Cane
This fragrance will appeal to women and men looking for a versatile perfume with a clean, positive and instantly recognisable mood.
It does not require a specific style: it pairs well with everyday clothing, sporty looks and relaxed summer outfits.
At the same time, its rich sillage gives the composition confidence and makes it more noticeable than an ordinary fresh citrus fragrance.
Similar Fragrances
For comparison, take a look at Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Yuzu, which also explores light citrus freshness with yuzu and green nuances.
Additional points of reference in this direction include Yves Rocher Fruits de Noel Orange & Amande and Fresh Sugar Lemon.
However, EMES #214 Sugar Cane stands out through its more pronounced sugar cane sweetness and especially strong reported sillage.
