Once upon a time, Sonia Constant gave birth to Ombre Leather. From the moment she was born, Ombre was rugged, determined and a bit of a square. Two years later, Ombre had a makeover and was transformed by her mother into a curvy, highly refined, highly painted product - sleek, black and stamped with corporate approval...

Soap by Energizer
It's been a tough day. I come home from work expecting some respite, but nay, it's time to go to the gym. Sure enough, the fragrance that I sprayed on this morning has long since evaporated, but there's no time to apply another before I hastily wolf down a protein bar, sling my gym bag over my shoulder and head out the...

Fruity, fresh, transparent
Like most people, I wasn't expecting a great deal from Original Penguin, but this was a pleasant surprise. It's basically a sweet, violet rosemary scent with a little minty lime on top. The overall feel is extremely fresh and invigorating from the start, and I honestly prefer this over Nautica Voyage, if you can believ...

Ajmal phone L'homme
In a nutshell, it’s a clone of Prada’s L’homme and a pretty damn good one at that. Like most clones however, it’s missing a few details here and there in the drydown; but what it lacks in complexity, it more than makes up for in performance. In fact, that’s literally why I bought it. The opening is a beautiful blast of...

1 Hour of Schizophrenia
This is one of the strangest scents I’ve ever smelled. Yeah, it was a blind buy, but from the descriptions, ratings and notes, I thought I had it pinned. Turns out I was wrong. To be blunt, I still don’t know how I feel about it. The development is chaotic. Is it green? Is it smoky? Is it aquatic? Is it woody? Fresh? S...

Let's just say...better than average
This one was very difficult to place. Originally, based on all the quasi-hype and great reviews, I was expecting more. Instead, the deliciously heavy amber and ginger in D&G's The One is replaced by a strangely aromatic floral vanilla, giving this composition a much fruitier vibe. However, I think it's the black pepper...

The Apple of my Eye
Summarized in one sentence - the best clone of PdM's LAYTON that I have ever experienced. No question that the current notes above are incorrect because it has NOTHING to do with Pegasus - not even a hint. Purchased a tester and from I can tell, it's part of the new white-boxed batches with the lighter coloured juice....
