I have loved this darling for years and years. Had no idea until I looked up notes for an oriental sniff fest that it was a proper oriental. Wolfgang Joop is the designer. When Joop! Femme first came out I was often in Germany, his country. German friends may have steered me to the fragrance, because I recall buying my...
Read review →FYI, on paper this dark darling tries to choke me, but on skin the pepper and smoke step aside and let the other notes enter--the woods, the subtle florals, leather, Myrrh and so on. It's a muted scent that to me feels male, but when I put it under hubby's nose he said, "Nope, female." Thus the unisex label is correct....
Read review →The reason I have a decant of this relatively new perfume is that a brand rep came behind the Guerlain counter when I was there and walked by, holding this bottle. It's a beauty so it did catch my attention. When I asked what it was, he didn't say Goldea, that I recall. He started talking about Cleopatra, said the bott...
Read review →First blast is that unfortunate blend of Iris and Lily that turns my stomach. Coriander may be upping the putridity. This just doesn't work on my skin.
I don't know about you, but I prefer that my perfumes not kill me. Unfamiliar with Datura, I looked it up and was concerned to discover all parts of this plant, including the flowers, contain a highly toxic poison so effective it's used for murder and suicide in several parts of the world. I'm assuming Azagury doesn't...
Read review →Wood and musk. A hynoptic and complex muskiness rises immediately, created by beeswax, coconut and saffon as well as musk. It’s really intoxicating. Almost seductive. And here I thought a person needed Jasmine for that. I’m going to wear this one for a day to see if I fall in love. The same cedarwood seems to have been...
Read review →Nothing sweet about this Halston, picked up bargain shopping. It's interesting, though, and encourages me to re-sniff several of its notes to better understand them. First of all, this fragrance is green! Which are the cause among its 20 notes? As a start I reach for hyacinth, orris root and narcissus as likely culprit...
Read review →There's not much info available about this perfume or the brand, but I'm glad I picked it up at an online discounter. The first thing I detect is a candy/berry-like note, quickly joined by indolic florals. There are certainly woods in the base, vanilla or tonka, too, I'm guessing, and a mild animalic note. The result i...
Read review →Helmut Lang makes art, in both clothes and fragrance. Almost every photograph on the website could hang in a museum. The clothes are funky gorgeousness. So is this perfume. Brought back this year with two others originally introduced in the early 2000's, Cuiron immediately delighted my nose and went onto my wish list,...
Read review →This fragrance is exactly what its name implies, rose made lusty, in this case by the use of intensely dank and musty ambrette seed (think saffron and armpits). With orris, it threatens to send the whole thing over the edge, but fresh pink grapefruit comes to the rescue and rosewood lends charm. Rosenlust may be an acq...
Read review →It's a 60-40 chance that my nose won't get along with a fragrance with a strong note of lily. So far I've loved every single one of Francois Coty's early perfumes, except this. I remember it, though. When I was a child I smelled it on ladies who visited, but didn't live in our house. No way my great grandmother of the...
Read review →This perfume smells like its notes, which are agreeable but they don't seem to have come from the earth. Bvlgaria did a decent job though because my nose isn't closing (yet) and I'm not sneezing (so far)--just suffocating a bit and wanting air. Washing this off and replacing it with something from D.S. & Durga whose in...
