The wintry clove hits me in the nose
Sculpture Voyage en Orient definitely opens the spice cabinet for winter, in my opinion. Cloves are particularly abundant in the spice cabinet. You definitely have to like that; otherwise, this fragrance is rather a bold choice. The scent starts for me with a powerful burst of clove. Although the clove is somewhat tame...

Solid, but not quite my world.
Vanilla Coco is a solid fragrance, but personally, it is too feminine for me. The notes of vanilla and coconut are definitely recognizable. However, over time the fragrance takes on a strong floral character, which makes it a bit too feminine for my taste. The scent starts with a combination of vanilla and coconut for...

The Name is Deceptive
The Oud by John Varvatos does contain the term Oud, but with all due respect, this is not a true Oud fragrance. I honestly expected that. What we have here is primarily an oriental-spiced scent with a pleasantly light freshness at the beginning, which gradually reveals more resinous accents over time. The fragrance ope...

Lattafa delivers simply..
Art of Arabia III is a spicy, sweet, warm fragrance for the colder days of the year, and once again, Lattafa shows what they can do. This scent smells really beautiful, and over time it gains more depth and becomes rounder. At first, it is already nice, but I somehow smell a hint of a kind of plum that I don't quite li...

A great leather scent with fruity notes
Cashmere Currant is a really great leather scent with fruity nuances. The leather is noticeable and present, yet never overwhelming. Alongside this, we have these fruity nuances, primarily from black currant. This combination is finely tuned and fits together perfectly. Many are already familiar with this combination o...

I expected you to be different. But that's not meant negatively.
California Breeze is somehow a different kind of scent than I expected. I was anticipating more fresh vibes. Somehow I thought of a cool, citrusy summer fragrance. I hadn't looked at the notes. In any case, it’s not quite like that. Nevertheless, it does have fresh, citrusy hints. The fragrance starts off a bit citrusy...

Relatively Bitter Freshness on a Date with Noticeable Tuberose
Leen unfortunately does not suit my taste. When I first tested it a few months ago, I was not impressed and have given the fragrance a chance here and there, but to this day my opinion has not changed. We have a relatively bitter, fresh scent paired with a quite prominent tuberose, as well as what feels like an unpleas...

Love or Die: A Love That Fades Quickly After Spraying
Love or Die is a fragrance that isn't really well-known. At least here in Germany, there is generally no talk about the brand G Parfums. The Love or Die was also the first fragrance I have tested so far. The scent has an incredibly beautiful vibe for me right at the beginning, immediately after spraying. I definitely g...

This top note is so good on warm, sunny days
I really like Speed Legends overall. I find the initial phase very convincing and beautiful. Unfortunately, it takes slight turns that I personally don't quite like. However, it is still a great fragrance overall, and on warm days, in the sunshine, it really shines and is the most enjoyable then. The scent starts fresh...

Fresh, Citrusy + Coconut Vibe
The Absocute starts off with a really great citrus component that feels totally refreshing. After a short time, this fresh citrus note recedes a bit, and coconut comes forward to greet us. A sweet coconut accord that is never overly sweet or overwhelming. Not at all. For most of the duration of the fragrance, we have a...

A great summer release from CK for me
Reflections starts off with a wonderful combination of lemon and ginger. It feels quite zesty and there’s also this lovely green iced tea note. Over time, the zestiness fades, but this great mix of the aforementioned accords remains. The scent progression is quite linear. Only towards the end does a very subtle musk no...
