When Tom Ford's "Jardin Noir" was released, I was particularly curious about Cafe Rose. Coffee and rose were a combination that hadn't really existed before - what I got, however, was simply a rose scent with extremely subtle sweet undertones, more from...

The concept of homeopathy: Do you have liver problems? Then take a liver poison, dilute it until practically no active ingredient is left, and take it. That helps with your complaints! That's probably what...

When I wanted to test a Blue Amber at Reza Shari in Mannheim, he happened to not have it available. He told me that Blue Amber along with Soleil De Capri was simply not deliverable because they are among the most sought-after fragrances. Now...

I have never worn L'Air Du Desert Marocain often; I have sold most of my bottle little by little as decants. A sign that I don't need to buy this fragrance again. Since I find the spray head of the bottle to be quite terrible, I have now transferred...

I just had a drink yesterday that prompted me to delete my old comment on Invasion Barbare and rewrite it. I still think that Invasion Barbare, as a sweet-spicy and slightly woody fragrance, might experience a hype or be better...

It's a shame that Chypre Palatin has fallen in the perfume rankings towards the end. I believe it is a masterpiece. Chypre Palatin immediately reminds me of 3 great Guerlain legends at once: Mitsouko,...

Anyone who spends a lot of time browsing YouTube and watching all the reviews from the last few years (around 2009-2011) will know that Pure Malt had an almost godlike status regarding its popularity among the YouTube fragrance community. That...

When looking at the men's fragrances from MDCI Paris - there are officially 3 (as of April 2013) - Ambre Topkapi seems to exist in the shadow of Invasion Barbare. I also have a suspicion as to why AT is not as popular as Invasion Barbare, but more...

My nose has probably become more refined from all the testing, because since I got a bottle again, I perceive Pure Leather differently than in my previous review. So much so that I quickly deleted my old comment to rewrite it. Pure Leather...
