Roses Musk Eau de Parfum

Montale

Sharp, manly rose

I'm with Sherapop, the musk in this must be ambroxan. There are roses for sure, but it also has that weird, sharp metallic tang that I get from Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume. I don't like it. It reads as masculine to my nose, and makes my brain...

Nectar Love

DKNY / Donna Karan

Banal and cloying

I tested this tonight in Ulta. The adorable bottle with the little bees on it really caught my eye! I should have known…bees=honey. Honey is one of my kryptonite notes, and it is majorly present in this perfume. It’s basically fruity and honey-sweet. I...

Powdery, sophisticated jasmine. Mysterious! Delicious! I need it stronger because it is so good!

Pretty average; smells like many other perfumes out there currently. Just a basic, sweet floral. Decent sillage and longevity.

Mostly a citrus scent, with some florals floating in and out. Very fresh and inviting. Gonna be awesome in spring and summer!

Has a bit of a hairspray vibe, wafting around my face, and it’s just the wrong side of too much. I feel a headache coming on.

I concur 100% with Sherapop's review: It's a very masculine rose with some Ambroxan mixed in. It's sharp & metallic and tickles my nose.

There's frankincense in this?! Maybe I smell a bit of that resin, but it's mostly creamy, lush vanilla. VERY warm, cozy, and comforting!

A lovely non-indolic jasmine scent as an aromatherapy oil. I use it on my hands for dryness, and for a mid-day scent pick-me-up. Love it!

It's odd, but strangely appealing. Like a cross between Irish Spring soap and Close Up (cinnamon) toothpaste. I'd enjoy it more on a man.

This is the Chanel No. 5 for people who can't/won't wear the original. I prefer this because it is lighter and fresher but still nostalgic.

Rosewood is what would be born if Agent Provocateur & Ombre Rose had a baby. A bit of fusty rosiness; lots of powder. Nice bottle though.

Learning new words

I was reading a review here yesterday, and I learned a new word: meretricious. I love words, and I'd never come across this one before, so I had to look it up. It means "alluring by a show of flashy or vulgar attractions; tawdy; or based on pretense, deception, or insincerity." As it turns out, that very day I came across the same word in Chandler Burr's book The Perfect Scent! I have no idea whether this is some sort of sign,...

I need a scientist for this dilemma!

My body is weird regarding the applications of fragrances. It has become a scientific issue with me.I used to spray my left wrist once, and then lightly rub my arms together and then over the top of my hair. I began noticing that when I did that, the scent on my right arm died faster than on my left (first-sprayed) arm. So, I now spritz my left arm once and then my right arm once, and then run both arms...
