Montale PATCHOULI LEAVES offers a lot of dark oily hippie patchouli in a luscious labdanum-amber base with just a touch of sweetness. Wearing this perfume is like wearing an old worn-out sweater that feels cozy and comfortable and even cuddly but is not something that I'd want to don in public. It seems somehow too per...
Read review →Kate Moss KATE reminds me of a mixture of three different perfumes: Lanvin RUMEUR (similar magnolia-rose-patchouli presentation), Lancome MIRACLE (similar magnolia-pepper complex), and STELLA (similar peony-rose combo). On top of all of that, KATE opens with a splash of fruitiness which evokes in this wearer immediate...
Read review →Keiko Mecheri BAL DE ROSES really took me by surprise. Given the name, I was expecting something more along the lines of some of the other rose perfumes of this house, which really focus on the rose note. Instead, I find BAL DE ROSES to be primarily an oriental perfume, and although I would not say that it smells like...
Read review →How pure is DKNY PURE? Judging from the splitting headache by which I am currently plagued, I'm guessing not all that pure after all. The composition itself is very similar to my nose to Calvin Klein's new perfume, BEAUTY, except that the latter is better constructed and more floral, with a heavier jasmine note. DKNY P...
Read review →I had a long-term relationship with Lancôme TRESOR, although I basically never wear it anymore. But whenever I catch a whiff of it, a flood of memories filled my mind, back from the time when Isabella Rossellini's image was ubiquitous. I approached TRESOR with some trepidation (for the purpose of writing this review),...

Read review →The folks at Histoires de Parfums are obviously very big into intertextuality, so perhaps they will not mind my beginning my review of 1873 with the observation that this perfume reminds me a lot of Bond no 9 CONEY ISLAND. And not at all without reason, having just espied the notes: lots of citrus on the top, and caram...

Read review →Didn't I just smell this last week? I believe the last iteration was Tokyo Milk Dark TAINTED LOVE. Yes, Neotantric I AM A SEX GODDESS is a bit like pornography: the body parts are all there, but where is the passion? Sandalwood vanilla florientals have been so overdone that I cannot get excited about this perfume at al...

Read review →Now that Iron chefs have flung open the floodgates to culinary creativity, I'm willing to try just about anything. I was skeptical, but I tried Lindt dark chocolate studded with red chili peppers and discovered that it actually tastes quite good. Do the same notes mingle harmoniously in perfume? Bernard Duchaufour appa...
Read review →Anyone who has cooked with cardamom knows that it is one powerful spice. Add one pod too many, and your epicurean delight is rendered a disaster. More is definitely not better when it comes to cardamom. Like salt, it must be applied sparingly to be enjoyed. What is remarkable about Berdoues 1902 Eau de Cologne Premium...
