...Today, I give a try to Bitter Peach (Eau de Parfum)Bitter Peach Eau de Parfum. I can't decide if I like it or not... For some people, grapefruit smells like cat's urine, and for me, peach smells like human sweat...

Fruity summer fragrances that don’t smell juvenile
by EvitaVilla | Perfume Recommendations
... I sprayed it on a paper note as a reminder and want to add that after a moment the tea base note takes the power over the musk and rhubarb stays there all along.

Fruity summer fragrances that don’t smell juvenile
by EvitaVilla | Perfume Recommendations
...SeltzerpapiWith RhubarbeRhubarbe I see musk as one of the base notes. Is it a laundry musk or more of a bodily musk?It's the fresh laundry musk note. And as it's the vegetal rhubarb from the garden and not the rhubarb from a baked cake, the resulting scent is not a gourmand.

The perfect vanilla (for me)
by EvitaVilla | Perfume Recommendations
...Hi everyone, As you are all good at giving recommendations, here am I.A nice summer vanilla is missing in my collection. I would like something without "Play-doh" reminder. Also nothing with oud or Tonka bean, or with a boozy note. I dislike oud and Tonka and booz are more for winter.I don't like Tom Ford or Kayali's vanillas. I was thinking at something with vanilla orchid or Madagascar Vanilla maybe.And I don't mind if it's niche or designer.Any suggestion?Thank you

Salty Scents
by EvitaVilla | Perfume Recommendations
...KathrynA66EvitaVillaSea Salt CaramelSea Salt Caramel Eden-RocEden-Roc Aqua MahanaAqua Mahana The first one being, at my opinion, the most salty.What is Eden-RocEden-Roc like? A strong sea salt opening followed by a citrusy jasmine and some pine's needles in the background. The result is salty fresh and doesn't give a headache. It's not a complex scent but it does its job for summer vacation on the beach.

...RingtaleGood Evening SOTD: Today I've been wearing Fidji (2003) (Eau de Toilette)Fidji (2003) Eau de Toilette Love the fresh feel of it without it being 'just a freshy'. I always feel a bit 'classy' wearing this, but not in that 'diva- or bossy kind of way'; it's very classy indeed, but it remains a kind scent.I used to wear it before its 2003 reformulation. I remember it as an elegant chypre with an exotic touch. Does it still have that touch? I am currently thinking about repurchase some oldies of my "I had" collection.

Where do you buy fragrances?
by EvitaVilla | Perfume Discussions
...Hello Ringtale, I do the same as you : checking the packaging and batchcode, and buying at the physical store where I tested, especially when it's a small local store. They are often nice and passionnated people who are not trying to force for a sale and the less we can do for them is making their business work!

Where do you buy fragrances?
by EvitaVilla | Perfume Discussions
...I avoid Sephora or Nocibe ( French Douglas) as they are very often more expensive than the fragrance houses themselves. I buy at Le Printemps, or directly from the fragrance houses or at a local niche perfumerie called Le Soleil d'Or.Online, I shop at Incenza, Parfumdo, Notino, MyOrigines or Parfumdreams. I compare their price and I have never had a bad experience with these websites. My 2 last purchases were at Notino as they were the cheapest for what I wanted to order : Jardins de Bagatelle (Eau de Toilette)Jardins de Bagatelle Eau de Toilette , White Rose (Eau de Toilette)White Rose Eau de Toilette and Hermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une OmbreHermann à mes Côtés me Paraissait une Ombre .

...I spent another day with a Etat Libre d'Orange perfume. Today it was Putain des PalacesPutain des Palaces . I got a box of 4 samples with my last purchase (I ordered a bottle of Exit the KingExit the King ).This Putain des PalacesPutain des Palaces is nice and rather well behaved (for a "petite pute"). Nothing wrong here but also nothing revolutionnary. My Fils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes / Philippine HouseboyFils de Dieu du Riz et des Agrumes from yesterday had way more personnality. Still 2 to try...
