A funny anecdote

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... out on one of my regular Sunday afternoon fragrance trolls (what else is there to do an a Sunday afternoon?) I walked up to the Dior counter in a department store and was accosted by the Sales Assistant who immediately wanted to slap the new J'Adore all over me. I told her I didn't do flankers. She a...

Peut-être un spectaculaire coucher de soleil?

A 'sunny day' to my nose this fragrance is not ... perhaps more like a spectacular sunset? Notwithstanding, Jour Ensoleillé is part of a Sonoma Scent Studio sample set I recently ordered and I am completely thrilled by it! I've noticed that I compare quite a few frags that I review to Kilian Hennesey's releases. I'm no...

A decent flanker!

More often than not when I see a flanker of a well loved fragrance I roll my eyes to the heavens and murmur 'not another one!?!'. Then I go ahead and try it anyway, the fragrance junkie in me terrified of missing out on something good … and I experience the waves of disappointment with a knowing grimace. Not, thankfull...

Variations on a theme ...

En route to my semi permanent job on a tropical Island I was thumbing through the on board Duty Free magazine and found Perfume Calligraphy available for purchase at a much better price than in Department stores back home. I bought it :) ... I have bemoaned the fact that this one and Lauder's Wood Mystique are pretty m...

Methinks the Lady doth protest too much ...

... but as far as I'm concerned she can protest all she likes!! WOW!!! There is a really good reason I love Dominique Ropion's work ... the man is simply a genius!! This 'portrait' is not of a demurely clad Monet-esque maiden reading innocently in a bower of trees, she's a Rubens-like scantily clad Delilah ... demandin...

Lauder's Oud

Wood Mystique is definitely a release that harks back to Lauder's glory days. I have a long association with this company and their fragrances (even having worked for them briefly in my youth) and imho their fragrant efforts of the last 10 years or so have been lackluster and boring. I have two bugbears about this frag...

Suitably comfortable

Brecourt is not available where I live ... my bottle of Eau Trouble was gifted to me by a fabulous friend from Monaco. It's absolutely delicious! Eau Trouble exhibits notes of tangy, hesperidic fruit up top, quickly mellowing into a powdery woodsy melange. I definitely get touches of Incense and Tea and a cosmetic Iris...
