Welcome to the Tom Tom Club!
Tom Ford and the olfactory creations attributed to him are to be taken seriously. I don't know why I haven't paid more attention to them until now, because everything I have tested so far has been better - than expected, than the mainstream, and above all different! Different from what one might expect from the name, t...

Cat Grass in Springtime
Spring can no longer be denied, and that's a good thing. I crave green, life, a new beginning. And that's also a reason for "Panda." I was a bit worried, as a well-mannered woman of a certain age, that a) I would have to offend Victor Wong because I might not like the fragrance in which he had a hand with the little ye...

Worthy of a Queen?
Queen's is a floral fragrance from the house of Anglia-Perfumery, but unfortunately, it is the first from this stable that doesn't blow me away. Perhaps I'm not currently open and tolerant towards new scents, but this one has neither anything particularly beautiful nor anything new, unlike, for example, Velvet Rose or...

Flowers of Tuscany
After testing Love, The Key to Life this morning, which is still lingering in the air even though I was away for a bit, I just remembered which scent it also reminds me of! Tuscany per Donna! Haven't smelled it in a long time, but it's stored in the right part of my brain for recall! Tuscany was never really in demand...

Love is the Last Bridge
is a book by Johannes Mario Simmel that has helped this fragrance achieve a certain cult status. As perhaps the discerning reader may know, Simmel had the habit of letting fragrances play a secondary yet significant role in his novels. Not all of them were familiar to me in terms of scent, but I already knew In Love Ag...

Not Milady's finest moment...
...but still better than some others that sell better. I am a fan of Vivienne Westwood. In my eyes, she does nothing wrong, and I have been following her work since the 80s. However, her first fragrance is not my favorite; that title goes to Anglomania: in my opinion, a stroke of genius. The Boudoir available today is...

A Tube of Roses, Please, and Some Green!
With the announcement of this new Exclusiv-Guerlain, I immediately had Chloé 1975 in my nose, as the former tuberose bomb from the Lagerfeld house has now been mutilated beyond recognition and is no longer a candidate for purchase for me. Not a fan of floral scents, yet I have always been quite fond of the loud tuberos...

Completely Floral!
I find overly floral scents to be an abomination. The more flowery, the more it reminds me of grandmas, I think. I will probably lose my last 2 friends at Parfumo with this opinion, but I am being honest. Of course, there are a few floral fragrances that are exceptions: À la Nuit by Serge Lutens, one or two non-rosy ro...
