Hidden Accords

Similar to YSL Black Opium, yes, but to me it smells more like Nishane Hundred Silent Ways. It’s sweeter than the latter though. Yes, this smells like other perfumes, I get it, but it is beautiful nonetheless. I have fallen in love with Istanbul which is a carbon copy of Kilian’s Love don’t be shy but I MUCH prefer the Unique’s version which is stronger, projects like a beast and lasts for at least 12-14 hours, way longer on fabric. This, like Istanbul, also lasts a looong time, much longer than BO and HSW. At the end of the day, call it what you want, clone or not, their perfumes are stronger than whatever it is they’re supposedly copying. I have tried Kutay, which is a boozy, semi sweet frag that leans a bit masculine but I enjoy it, I never smelled anything like it before, and SoScentific, which I found has too much amber to my taste (had to scrub that one off!) I have both BO and HSW, I stopped using BO because it didn’t last long on my skin so I got HSW which I like more. I have a small 2 ml decant of this and once my HSW bottle is finished I will probably buy this one. Much stronger!! PS: testing this out in one arm against Hundred Silent Ways in another and holy molly, they smell EXACTLY the same, like, there’s not a bit of difference at all, it’s like they’re the same juice in different bottles. I’m trying to find differences between them but there is none. Maybe HSW is a tad bit creamier and sweeter actually, but nope, there’s no obvious differences. I will report back on longevity when compared side by side. Update: carbon copy of HSW, no doubt! Longevity was actually comparable, they both lasted through the day. Lovely smell that I can’t get enough of. I’ll enjoy my HSW for many months to come so having this would be redundant!

Hidden Accords by Unique'e Luxury is a beautiful, feminine sweet floral fragrance that immediately reminded me of Nishane Hundred Silent Ways. It also bears a strong resemblance to Printemps Blanc by Maison Mataha, which happens to be one of my personal favorites. All three fragrances share a similar creamy, sweet floral character, making them easy to appreciate if you enjoy this style of perfumery. Despite the coffee note listed in the composition, I personally do not detect any noticeable coffee accord. Instead, the fragrance unfolds as a smooth and elegant floral scent with a lovely sweetness that never feels overwhelming. What sets Hidden Accords apart for me is its luxurious drydown. It feels richer, smoother, and more refined than Hundred Silent Ways. Another reason I prefer it is the absence of the prominent tuberose note found in Hundred Silent Ways. Since tuberose is not a note I particularly enjoy, Hidden Accords resonates much more with my personal taste while still delivering the same feminine and sophisticated floral elegance. If you enjoy fragrances such as Hundred Silent Ways or Printemps Blanc, Hidden Accords will appeal to you as well. It offers the same addictive sweet floral appeal while presenting it in a way that feels particularly polished, luxurious, and perfectly suited to those who prefer a softer floral profile without a dominant tuberose note.

The opening on this is beautiful and addictive. It's gourmand and edible, like a dessert. My nose picks up on a caramel like effect, which I think is the Pear, Coffee and Vanilla combining to create that accord. It smells like a freshly baked pear tarte tatin, with a lovely cup of coffee on the side. It's a comforting, alluring scent, and one which I believe would fit perfectly in a date environment, or night out. A good time for wearing this is the autumnal or winter months, or maybe cool spring evenings. Whilst labelled unisex, I feel this suits a highly confident woman, whose elegance and beauty will turn heads, with the scent to match.

Feminine, sweet (but not too sweet), and incredibly pleasant. A versatile fragrance, too! My bottle just got to me after playing with a tester - I’m wearing this now but I could also see myself reaching for this in the cooler months. It projects, but definitely not so much that it would bother people around, but it’s definitely no skin scent. I can see this working in my office and definitely would make an excellent spring or summer wedding scent or just something you grab when you’re heading to lunch. Would recommend (and really happy my friend convinced me to get a bottle after saying it smelled great on me). This is a very solid line!

I love this scent profile. A mix of sweet fresh jasmine and a very light coffee note. I own Nishane hundred silent ways and i find it similar to Hidden Accords but i like Hidden Accords more. Performance is really good, long lasting with above average projection. Price is also really good. I got it for the same price as the 50 ml Nishane. Highly recommended perfume. 23-APR-2025
