5th Avenue Eau de Parfum

Elizabeth Arden

Drowned in Sweetened Soap

The version of 5th Avenue I was introduced to for the first time was prior to the changes that many classic perfumes had apparently undergone without any announcements. I appreciated it as a more 'modern', casual approach to the conservative...

L'Eau Jolie

Lolita Lempicka

Not Lolita, for better or for worse

My admiration for the fragrances of this brand had always been rather limited to the visual aspects. Although I had the privilege of smelling the original EDP every week during my school days, it wasn't until a few years later,...

Too one-dimensional as my personal fragrance & lemon drops sweetener didn't make it for a summer refreshment. L'Occitane's syrupy version.

Scent

Appeared as spicy aftershave, let it rest few months - now, a wonderful combo of wood&incense, reminds of sandalwood box with incense sticks

Cassandra - Jeanne Arthes - 3 years ago

After a brief nod to No5, jumps right to the bare essentials of "aldehydes". Thin and more wearable in warmer weather with light projection.

Scent

My hot skin burns the florals in a sec, the rest is covered clean by a loud&fatty bar soap monster (if you dare taking more than 1 spray).

Green Tea Exotic - Elizabeth Arden - 4 years ago

Scent

This one only blooms in heat, just made for vacances far away - sipping iced lemon tea on the terrace, surrounded by exotic bright florals.

Arlésienne (2016) (Eau de Toilette) - L'Occitane en Provence - 4 years ago

Intense spiciness contrary to the lucid bottle, nothing lovely. Would personally prefer this as a potpourri or soap scent, not as a perfume.

Jardin à New York - Gloria Vanderbilt - 4 years ago

Scent

Lemony jasmine tea soap on my hot skin vs. jasmine-lemon candy w/almost melon-like green sweetness on the colder part. Where's the gardenia?

Tiffany & Co. - Tiffany & Co. - 5 years ago

Scent

After the breakfast, you can wash the croissant flakes off your fingers with the floral liquid soap making your hands smell cool and clean.

Ninfea - Blumarine - 5 years ago

Scent

We meet again, "L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme"--a bit more floral&feminine in a different bottle. Great projection. Creamy herbaceous aquatic.

Terre de Lumière (Eau de Parfum) - L'Occitane en Provence - 5 years ago

Despite my fears of honey, no Scandal. Golden&warm, 'terra ambrata'. Could be unisex. Personally, couldn't smell any similarities to Mon G.

"wow-factor"

I often see people judging a fragrance solely on the criterion whether it possesses "a certain wow-factor" or not. While the definition of such is still somewhat elusive to me, I had accepted it without much thought when I began on my review-reading journey.Some will nonetheless grant a neutral rating after admitting the fragrance is nothing 'unique', whereas others dismiss it as something completely worthless, giving it a negative...

The cats ran away...

A non-rating comment from 2001 on "Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Toilette)" featured on a review site made me chuckle. The nuances of the original got lost in my clumsy translation."Received the blotter and when I came homeboth our cats ran away :-DThe scent is sweet but also spicyappears to be generic and yet, it's not.Sorry, I'm not good with words, so my explanation doesn't make sense.CK Eternity, Escapeand Origins Ginger...
