Unexpectedly Sumptuous and Out of This World
This sample has been sitting in my sample case for a year. I am not really interested in Rose dominant fragrances, so...that is my excuse. I was totally blown away by how untraditional and non-rose Forward Bal de Roses turned out to be. It is really very rich, complex and well-rounded and a perfect Winter Rose fragranc...

Magical Night of the Unicorn
Acqua di Colonia's Muschio has incredibly faint sillage, which is really its only drawback. Otherwise, this is a beautiful, almost mythical- powdery soft anisic and cardamom-laced musk- with a touch of creamy vanilla that is uniquely sexy without being particularly dirty. There is a dry talc note to this musk that is i...

Powdery. Soft and Cozy
I have the Parfum concentrate of Pearl Musk; it last on my skin about 4 hours. It is a soft powdery white clean musk, with a touch of vanilla. in the same vein as Curve "Crush" and Sarah Horowitz Perfect Veil, with a bit of that Terra Nova "China Rain" feeling in the base layer. This is not a sweet musk, but there is s...

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Sort of...
This is a low sillage, delicate vanilla bean resin. There's a little puff of soothing balsam peru, which I adore...just enough to put the idea of getting a pint of old fashioned vanilla bean ice cream from the freezer section. This scent was gone within 30 minutes I wore this in the grocery store and went down the jam...

A Life Aquatic
I have been unable to write a review of this fragrance for quite a while because in my mind I had built it up as a hellish horrible ivy covered bitter aquatic and I couldn't stand the thought of wearing it again with out a sure fire antidote to completely remove it from my skin immediately after reviewing it. I detect...

Precious Violet Pastilles Hidden in a Wooden Box
The House of Penhaligon is known for exceptional quality, frequently the perfumers to the British Royal Family, as I understand and this composition is no exception. The ingredients are magnificently well blended and the sillage on this is about 1 meter (3.28 ft.) for about 5-7 hours on my skin. Like many compositions...
