After Ginestra, Melograno is the second fragrance from the house of Santa Maria Novella that has moved in with me. And like Ginestra, Melograno is for me a typical fragrance for the warmer seasons. If I had to assign a color here, Melograno would...

Iris Silver Mist is an unusual and masterfully woven composition, elegant and noble. A perfect iris fragrance for me and unusual also because this iris root reminds me of a carrot for a split second at the very most when dabbing on the fragrance - and then...

"White Rose" reminds me of a soap I smelled in my childhood. It's a very distant memory, and a very fragile one at that - like the scent itself. I remember taking the soap reverently from the drawer of a dresser. It was wrapped in the finest...

So far, none of Juliette Has A Gun's scents have been able to really convince me. They are well made, but something has always bothered me after a while. I found them always "too"...too synthetic, too raspy, too sweet, too wasauchimmer. Now...

Many fragrances from Van Cleef & Arpels I like and they accompany me for a very long time. This is about "Rose Velours" from the Collection Extraordinaire, not to be confused with "Rose Rouge" from the same house. They have nothing...

For many years, rose fragrances were not for me - or so I thought. Not necessarily a bogeyman, but the rose was always a difficult scent topic. Roses in the garden, oh yes great, but please not on my skin. Either rose scents were too sultry,...

From the mid-1980s onwards, no path, no nose led past Poison. The powerful 'Wummser', which were common at that time, were underlined with a corresponding unleashed dosage. Almost everyone smelled of Poison, everywhere and on every...

Oh? Conquistador is a man's scent, they say. Let me believe it... Since yesterday, however, it has become a woman's scent, namely mine. I got to know Conquistador through a bottling, and I have already written a statement about this....

Some time ago I got a bottling from a lovely perfuma. It seems to me that I'm the only one who doesn't know him, and it couldn't stay like that any longer! From the description, I actually expected a heavy, dark oriental....

How excited I was about this fragrance and also about the Maison Francis Kurkdjian brand in general, which I had heard so much about but had never smelled a fragrance before. I got a sample of 'Baccarat Rouge' from a lovely perfuma, but hadn't...

Lubin's "Nuit de Longchamp" is an extremely complex, elegant fragrance. Maybe a bit severe at the beginning, a bit spicy, almost astringent, but quite soon floral aspects are added. I can't smell all the components mentioned in the fragrance...
