Oudh Khalifa

Oudh Al Anfar

Oudh Arabian

After acquiring a full bottle at a bargain price, I've worn Oudh Khalifa a fair number of times to jot down these few lines to share with the Parfumo community. Starting off with the bottle: it is both unusual and asymmetrical (two times a plus in my book)....

Andalusian Soul

The Merchant Of Venice

Summer Night Dreams

About a year and a half ago I acquired a full bottle version of Andalusian Soul from The Merchant of Venice, yet for some reason or other forgot to add it to my collection on Parfumo. The beautiful Murano bottle – some of TMoV's bottles rightly...

Eau de Campagne / Country Water - Sisley - 11 months ago

Bottle 5
Sillage 5
Longevity 8
Scent

A green classic if ever there was one. Pity it projects so moderately and fades so quickly.

Signature Collection - Egyptian Smoke - Dunhill - 2 years ago

Bottle 7
Sillage 8
Longevity 9
Scent

An impressionist's impression of smoke, subtly tobacco-leafed sweet, with a soft spiciness and slow vanilla-ish fade. Mysterious, alluring.

Tinharé - Le Couvent - 2 years ago

Bottle 8.5
Scent

What Tinharé becomes after circa two hours of BR540 I couldn't yet tell you. A lovely and subtle blend though, not just for colder seasons.

Déclaration Essence - Cartier - 2 years ago

Bottle 9
Sillage 8
Longevity 9.5
Scent

Essence, being mossy-earthier than the original Déclaration, is masculine spice to the max. Great sillage, fair longevity, elegant bottle.

Badawï - Atelier Vesper - 2 years ago

Bottle 7
Sillage 7
Longevity 9
Scent

A smashing opening of cardamom and pink pepper, a slow drydown of spicy lovage and bright immortelle mainly - unusual and fascinating.

Relique d'Amour (2012) - Oriza L. Legrand - 2 years ago

Bottle 6
Sillage 5
Longevity 9
Scent

Cold, powdery, lily-white: the highly transient Relique d'Amour speaks of times past and time eternal. A first hour of serene-sacral bliss.

Blu di Roma Uomo (Eau de Toilette) - Laura Biagiotti - 2 years ago

Bottle 7

Scent

A soda-like sparkling double dose of citrus with pine notes shining through; how could the addictive Blu be anything else but uplifting?

Legal - Salle Privée - 2 years ago

Bottle 7

Longevity 9
Scent

Why this refined beauty of brilliant blending gets so little attention is beyond me. A near-perfect note pyramid, great longevity. Love.

Grey Flannel (Eau de Toilette) - Geoffrey Beene - 2 years ago

Bottle 7
Sillage 7
Longevity 8
Scent

A grand old fashioned barbershop-leaning shiner. Amazingly similar to Van Gils' classic Pour Homme from 1988, same solid EdT performance.

Irish Leather (Eau de Parfum) - Memo Paris - 2 years ago

Bottle 8
Sillage 7
Longevity 9
Scent

Leather and spice and then some, that's what Irish Leather is and I love it. Too bad that this, like all Memos, is in the niche price range.
