Island Lavender

Caldey Abbey Perfumes

Old Time Lavender

Over time I've come to realise the name is a bit misleading. There are other things that gently stretch this lavender in different directions. So instead of my original metaphore of Hugo Collumbien, the skilled pruner who knows how to bring out the elegant...

Synthetic Lemon and Sweetener with your boiled Green Tea?

It's hard to make this out; it takes part of several things - but it's not really any of them: lemon, Aspartame, cedar, spicy and -yes- metallic, it's watery and wan but not weak. It's Synthetic, and - teetering...

L'Eau Froide - Serge Lutens - 2 years ago

Cold lemonade with herbs.

L'Eau Serge Lutens - Serge Lutens - 2 years ago

Flat lemonade and white musk.

Body Silk - La Perla - 2 years ago

Orangey, and Tree Fruits - with chypre,
it feels like an early version of Fruchouli
(but more --natural-- and with extra powder and musk).

Paestum Rose - Eau d'Italie - 3 years ago

A gothic woody rose of uncertain gender, it could be worn by night creepers of all persuasions . . .

Signor Vivara (Cologne) - Emilio Pucci - 3 years ago

Miss Dior with stubble ... which makes that Mr Dior.
(It's a bit rough, get the original - if you can find it.)

Weil pour Homme (1980) (Eau de Toilette) - Weil - 3 years ago

The sort of thing worn by men in brown suits when negotiating Pay and Conditions in smoke filled rooms.

Eternity for Men (Eau de Toilette) - Calvin Klein - 3 years ago

Calvin Klein’s Cool Water clone.
Fruity and piquant; I can smell Bleu and Sauvage waiting in the wings.

Eve - Jil Sander - 3 years ago

A hack job on Mûre et Musc that plays gourmand against washing liquid.
So badly off key it makes me wanna barf.

V.O. - Version Originale (Eau de Toilette) - Jean-Marc Sinan - 3 years ago

Derivative version : a rendition of Or Black’s spangly molasses fougère that doesn’t take flight in the same way.

Mirto di Panarea - Acqua di Parma - 3 years ago

Screen wash at $1800 a litre.
