A Green Vanilla
Upon first sniff, I was instantly reminded of Angelique Noire by Guerlain, only much greener. Which makes complete sense, being that there is cypress, galbanum and fig in the top notes. Fig may not immediately strike you as green, but it has green tendencies. So, you have probably gathered that Vanille Camouflage opens...

Surreal Vanilla
For those intimidated by vanilla, what you must understand is that natural vanilla is not candy-sweet, but subtle-sweet. Kilian Hennessy blames Bath & Body Works for the demise of perfume. Without hesitation, I must say that I agree. For years, they have portrayed wrong impressions of different essences. There is somet...

Yellow Diamond becomes more floral opposed to fruity. The clean aspect is more as...

Mind Games
The mind game with this brand is that you are paying primarily for packaging. I am underwhelmed by nearly every fragrance this brand offers. While I do enjoy Double Attack, it's far too polite for $375 USD. Safe and crowd pleasing, but lacking performance and longevity. This scent profile has been done many times in th...

The Power Woman
Funny how smelling a fragrance can instantly place you on a timeline where you never existed. Fragrances in the 70s took time to gain popularity, especially if they were not widely available. I imagine this was very popular by the early 80s, because that is the vibe that I got when I sprayed this in the Chanel boutique...
