I have worn Desire (red) before, and loved the opening, but hated that sour drydown! But now I have learned to *appreciate* that sour drydown because it’s so well-blended, and because I have grown fond of teak, and have really always been fond of lime. But my fascination with sour notes has grown, especially since so m...
Read review →Just because “chocolate” and “vanilla” are listed in the fragrance description doesn’t mean Piment Brulant is a sweet fragrance; there’s nothing sweet about it! In fact, I can’t smell any cocoa or chocolate OR vanilla. Not one ounce of sugary sweetness here, just a vegetable garden… FRESH vegetables. Fresh, but not in...

Read review →I don’t usually care for anything rose-scented, but lately, after reading about the new Carolina Herrera fragrance Burning Rose, I decided to search for something featuring rose and patchouli. Rose Anonyme has more OUD than patchouli, so that’s a big minus in my book. (Not everybody is crazy about oud!) I was hoping th...
Read review →Grand Néroli has a familiar, natural smell I can’t quite place. It reminds me of an essential oil shop at a mall in Dallas I’ve been to, years ago, but not sure which oil(s) give it that smell. Seems very linear to me, and although it isn’t really unpleasant, it’s strange. I don’t think I want to smell like this. UPDAT...
