Oud and rose with strong masculine tendancies
I'll do a proper review later, but I wanted to get some description down since there's no information here. This is a very, very strong scent. It opens with a powerful, smoky Oud and Taif Rose. After an hour or so it settles...

Beautiful powder with a classic Dana 80's oakmossy feel
Review for the asymmetrical bottle This scent opens a bit harshly at first with a classic Dana oakmoss punch, reminiscent of Tabu, etc. This quickly gives way to a soapy aldehyde, as the harshness of the initial...

Save your money, nothing to see here.
This scent is very muddled and synthetic. It's difficult to pick out more than loud Citrus-like notes and floralish notes in the opening, a peony-like note in the heart and woodsy-vetiverish notes in the dry down. Nothing is very...

Starts a bit rough, but worth the wait
This is for a newer formulation Cassini opens with an indolic bite and civet growl that quickly moves to become a slightly oakmossy and incense touched white floral. This opening is reminiscent of the opening in classic...

Floral zing with a feral growl
This review is of a bottle that dates back to the late 1960s or early 1970s. OCCUR! opens with loud, soapy aldehydes and a deep feral growl. After the initial aldehyde burst, a lovely white floral mix comes into play. The contrast...

Delicate girl in a leather jacket
This review is for the 1992 release of the Swan Bottle. It opens with the leathery bite of an old cracked bikers jacket. It reminds me of the leather that is used in Whips and Roses by Kerosene. The leather is touched with a bit of Frankincense....

Pleasently Surprised
This opens with a powdery, sweet berry accompanied by a bergamot bite that quickly fades. Under the berry there is a hint of lotus. This opening surprises me. I was expecting something much different when I looked at the bottle. The opening...

My Beloved
This if for the Original formula in the oval bottle. We all have that scent that strikes something deep inside of us and is our most beloved. It takes us places we want to go and for the time we wear it, makes us feel like the person we want to be. For me this...

Rose (1949)
Caron
No words to convey it's magic and beauty
This review is from an old vintage bottle of EDP, probably from the late 1960s, but I'm not completely sure on the age. In the opening rose is dominant with a strong almost unpleasant herbal note that is equally as strong...

Café Rose (2012)

It starts magically and then goes "eh"
This opens with the loveliest Taif Rose. It's freshly opened and still covered in dew. There's no powder or cream to this rose. There is a beautiful base of Incense and sandalwood with just a touch of saffron playing...

Midnight Oud
Juliette Has A Gun
Rose and Oud for non-oud lovers.
This opens with a frightening plastic doll head punch. I can’t think of how else to describe it. It’s terrible. Thankfully, this mess is very short lived and within five minutes that train wreck has been cleared from the tracks. ...

Heart-stoppingly beautiful
This Review is from a mid-1960s bottle of EDT. This opens with a very green and soapy aldehyde punch that is followed by a whisper of an indolic jasmine. The soap, however, is more strongly ylang-ylang and lilac scented. After this...
