As soon as I entered the realm named Hora de la Verdad, I had an eerie sense of déjà vu. Immediately I knew that this was not going to be an enjoyable ride. I had a similar experience with Dominique Ropion's Geranium pour Monsieur , which is also built around the geranium and its masculine aromatic-spicy nature. In my...

Read review →When the perfumer claims "this is not a perfume but an artisanal and artistic olfactory creation", it is obvious a few IFRA rules have been broken for the sake of an optimal olfactory experience. Being blessed with a thick elephant skin free of sensitivities towards raw materials, I am instantly drawn to perfumes that...
Read review →The note list mentions both pistachio and a solar note. Don't be mistaken, though. This is not another "Brazilian Crush Cheirosa '62 | Sol de Janeiro" or some lame sunblock simulator. Jux goes its own way. I'm not even sure I would call this a sunny perfume. The start is really uplifting and yes sunny, though. Clearly...

Read review →l'Eau d'Issey is one of the most iconic scents of the nineties. Heavy and light at the same time, immediately recognizable and in my case a serious 'memory-trigger'. A brief aqua-mineral freshness is immediately followed by a heavy floral bouquet. While florals in all thinkable colors seem present, the emphasis is on t...
Read review →With the release of the Musk collection, Russian Adam left no doubt as to what the theme would be. The series' hyperfocus on musks is well-reflected in Paradise Soil. Right from the start it is obvious that there is a good amount of actual deer musk involved. Its fluffy-animalic character becomes more and more evident...

Read review →Acqua di Parma’s blue colognes are in this sweet spot between mainstream and exclusive. Or should I say a blind spot, a void? They may be too outspoken for the designer audience and too much of a fancy shower gel for the ‘snobs’. Personally, I find them effective but somewhat unexciting refreshers for casual daytime we...
Read review →Oh dear, it’s labeled a Chypre. Inevitably, that will trigger a debate on whether or not this is a proper chypre. Sigh.. Contrary to our demand for top notch artistry in terms of scent composition, we expect a perfume's name that precisely depicts the contents and leaves no room for imagination. Silly, isn't it? Let's...
