Ellen starts out interesting with aniseed mixed with sweetness. I can not help thinking of Lolita Lempicka, but the differences become quite obvious very soon. Where Lolita keeps momentum and stays gourmand for a long time, Ellen very soon becomes powdery and sweet. I am not saying that Ellen is meant to be a copy of L...

Read review →DKNY is behind some really great fragrances: Gold EdP and Black Cashmere. I am always excited when I am going to test a to me unknown fragrance from this brand. Sometimes I am left rather disappointed… Blind testing DKNY Vanilla made me think Musk. Sometimes the Musk note makes me smell a dirty, unwashed armpit. When I...
Read review →I have had this for many years. Yesterday my daily review was on La Nuit Trésot Musc Diamant and after dwelling on the name it struck me, that Oriflame has a Diamond Musk in their range. I had to find out what the two have in common apart from the name. Conclusion: not much but then again… And I have not worked out whe...
Read review →Lancôme is a brand of great diversity. Looking at the timeline it has released so many different fragrances with different expressions: Ô de Lancôme (one of the freshest citric scents I know), Magie Nôire (the black magic of the eighties) and a long line of other triumphs such as Miracle, La Vie est Belle, Tresôr and H...

Read review →This does not necessarily have the best bottle or name but it is definitely a really nice male scent on the edge of being unisex. The woody-fresh mix of very few notes is quite successful and I consider it a fragrance I could easily wear. Sweetened by the violet, it is far from the traditionally dominant pine-fern male...
Read review →Growing up as a teenager in the 80s I know how broad shoulders can be if you get help from pads. Claude Montana taught me. Listening to music by Duran Duran and Grace Jones and looking at pictures and posters at that time convinced me that this was the cool way to look. Watching 'Dynasty' on TV made me even more assure...
Read review →I have four white musks in my collection: The Body Shop’s White Musk edt, the perfume oil from the same brand, Tesori d’Oriente Muschio Bianco and Prince Matchabelli’s Fresh White Musk. I like them all. They are quite alike. With that I mean that I do not see myself capable of sniffing the difference in a blind test. H...

Read review →I am not a fan of Davidoff Cool Water Woman. I know it is a success from 1996, and loads of people wore it back then I did not. I did not catch the vibe and I did not like the aquatic impression. But I do understand that a scent can become successful, even though I do not like it. So the Cool Water Wave is different? A...
