I received this perfume as a gift from someone who doesn't know my scent preferences. This nice person occasionally makes one or another gift misstep, like giving a One Million to my father who is over 40 years old. Anyway, as long as it’s well-intentioned... So...

Here we have a fragrance that attracted me because of its name. One thing upfront: This perfume is more or less complex in its accords. Simply saying that what’s on the label is what’s inside, or not, does not do this perfume...

A very interesting scent that I have wanted to test for a long time. Due to its listed ingredients, it made me very curious. You rarely see hazelnut. I find that you can recognize everything quite well in Mechant Loup. The mineral myrrh is very...

Annick Goutal, the plant queen of fragrances, presents us with a vetiver scent that I have only just discovered. Simple like almost all vetiver perfumes, they have simply named it Vétiver. The market offers a wide range of options for vetiver...

Avignon blablabla.. The big Catholic city blabla and the perfume blabla... From a marketing perspective, CdG is on the right track: They name the perfume after a city that was a religious center. To evoke associations. Now,...

Eau de Camille is similar to Le Chevrefeuille. The scent shows noticeably little development. The top note is very beautiful: Green meadow, sunshine, joy, and floral. I like it better than Le Chevrefeuille, but both have the same problem. The intensity...

Annick Goutal is known for her very natural plant fragrances. I have had the pleasure of testing some of her creations several times, and one of her scents, namely the one with fir, is sitting on my shelf. However, I find it a bit difficult...

Recently at the shopping mall, I quickly dashed into the big M with my girlfriend and tried some fragrances. My eyes fell on a beautiful piece of packaging with the name Cacharel on it. Oh yes, that can definitely lure me in. So, I sprayed...

What is red and smells like leather? Vetiver! No, wait, Vetiver is green(?) and doesn’t smell like leather?! I must be quite alone in thinking that TdH and RV don’t have much in common as is often described here. I’m comparing directly...

What you are presented with here is a cruel abomination. This scent tries to be chocolatey-coffee-like. The emphasis is on "tries," because fundamentally, you can clearly tell that the concept does not work. This is mainly because while...

So far, I have tested a few (not many) vetiver fragrances. Apparently, vetiver appeals to me quite a bit, as the variant from Etro is also one of my favorites. This vetiver is, so to speak, the brother of Ecre Noir for me. It comes across as a bit more...

For all those who have always wondered what this scent by Donna Karan smells like, here’s the answer: It is a softened, less feminine version of "Frankincense - Myrrh - Rose Maroc" by Regina...
