Adan

Before I dive into the perfume, I have to quickly mention my little luck, because my parents were on vacation in France last week (Provence, lavender fields, etc.) while I was stuck in the lab. And since I always mess...

I was positively surprised when I smelled Valentino Uomo, because the first impression was "Oh, a really nice, solid fragrance! Just like Dior Homme!". Somehow, that also directly dampened the initial enthusiasm. Especially the fact...

When I first smelled Luna Rossa, it seemed quite familiar to me, and I quickly labeled it as generic. Only recently, while sniffing it again, I noticed the mint in Luna Rossa, which reminds me of the Moroccan mint tea that I love to drink. Refreshing,...

The motto of Etat Libre d'Orange for "Cologne" was: "Now we give you nice." Cologne, a nice scent. Yes. Neroli waters are generally nice, but never so amazing that I would buy one. I also eventually gave up Chanel's Eau de Cologne after several...

As a student of biosciences, one often faces identity crises and existential fears, especially during very frustrating times like writing a bachelor's thesis. Somehow, I then came up with the idea to write to Claude Marchal...

In my opinion, Aventus is one of the most overrated fragrances at the moment. I have to say, it somehow fits the absolutely stereotypical men's fragrance: a bit of freshness, citrus notes in the top, a leathery-smoky base with a good dose of musk. Furthermore,...

I always struggle to find a suitable introduction for fragrance reviews, but after finally treating myself to this scent after a long period of hesitation, it's about time for a comment. Uden starts off as a fresh, sweet citrus fragrance...

This "search query" has come up several times here in the forum. And most of the time, someone was quicker with this answer than I could be. Dirty English is a perfume that rocks. But why? Because it combines...
