Indeed, Stradivari by the House of Matchabelli is a timeless classic in perfumery. It's impossible realistically to compare it with any other fragrance, for it has such distinction, with powerful and subtle aromas in a masterful recipe. It has a wide floral opening with subtle citrus support which soon allows the woody...
Read review →Sounds unbelievable, but it's true. I was looking at perfumes at a Heathrow, London perfume shop some years back when two ladies behind the counter commented on how lovely I smelled, and asked me what I was wearing!

I think this stands up well against some scents priced at five or six times its cost. A fresh edp with complexity, including subtle floral tones, through sweet, fruity notes, endi...
Read review →Here's a perfume that hits you right away, though not harshly. It has a steely, metal tone to it, with citrus tones at the front, followed by lovely, smooth woody fragrances, and a musky, dusky, mossy finish. I really like this one from the Al Rehab stable. At just over US$5 for the 35ml bottle, it is, to use a word, c...
