A Hybrid between Invictus Sweetness and The One Fruitiness
Ouch! I really do not understand all the hate behind this cologne. There are quite a few controversial opinions that range from "Really Disgusting!" to "Goodness Gracious!". How could it be? I mean, everyone is free to express itself, yet I believe this cologne is everything but disgusting.... I came across Ferré's col...

Precious Powerhouse From The Eighties
I have good memories of this jewel. I can still remember the time when I used the original Coveri pour Homme, formerly known as Dollar$ (vintage), the bottle was kept in a blue flannel bag and manufactured by Eurocosmesi. At that time, it was so original and disruptive, so leathery, mossy, and ambery, a real compliment...

Fuchsia Macarons With Rose Cream Drops
"Osmanthus has a mouth-watering, honeyed, apricot-peachy top note, often used in perfumery to obtain a kind of floral fuzziness and a palpable softness akin to the skin of the soft fruits. But it is far from a one-trick pony: with notes of plums, prunes, and an undercurrent of leather-suede, it is a perfect addition to...

The Best Cheap Dusty Atmosphere Ever
I have often seen this perfume on sale in department stores, and have always been through it. After reading the reviews, and listening to the advice of a dear friend of the essences, I bought it. They label the classic Gloria Vanderbilt as a floral-oriental, but it’s not the opulent oriental flavouring trend of Middle...

Unlimited Joy and Happiness
ZARA Summer Collection 2017 edition is a real summer style of scent so that it would be perfect at this time of the year. It is a green, fresh, minty and citrusy interpretation of violet leaves with a nice touch of sandalwood and musk and with a whisper of spices. A masterpiece! It opens up with a beautiful initial tar...

Here Comes My Little Puppy
Vanilla Fever has been on my wish list since I tried it almost two months ago when it came out. First, it’s a vanilla perfume, and vanilla perfumes, especially too sweet and slightly cloying ones, are always hard for me to like. Thankfully, at least initially, Amber Fever is only moderately sweet, not too vanilla-y. So...

Café à la Parisienne
I bought Iris & Wild Cassis in a poke, or blind, as they say, in the world of fragrances. They were the last pieces available on the shelf, and the tester was miserably empty. Sniffing the sprayer, some well-known coffee macchiato with vanilla milk brought to mind the Black Opium Eau de Parfum, and it was this associat...

A Tropical Fever Dream, Bottled
According to the hype, Asad Zanzibar draws clear inspiration from Le Beau, sharing many of its nuances while carving a distinctive path. Having owned both Le Beau and Invictus Victory, I find Asad Zanzibar more reminiscent of the latter. It’s not as sweet as Le Beau and doesn’t lean heavily on tonka. Though both featur...
