I am super picky when it comes to tuberose. I love tuberose, but only a fresher tuberose. I really do not like the sweet bubblegummy tuberose found in fragrances like Armani My Way and Givenchy L’Interdit. For context, some tuberose/white...

I’m not super familiar with oud perfumes but this is a very smooth and elegant one. I’ve struggled a bit with MFK fragrances in the past - the much-lauded Baccarat Rouge 540 and Gentle Fluidity Gold both had a weird screechy antiseptic note that...

I am not a Kayali fan - I don’t dislike them, I just have never felt strongly about them as a brand. I feel the need to start my review with that because I know Kayali gets sooo much hype that I think sometimes people just automatically...

Not a scent I would have sought out on its own, but I got a sample of this in a recent order so decided to give it a whirl. Unfortunately the overall impression is of a strong medicinal ointment, in the same vein as Santa Maria Novella Potpourri,...

While I’m not a fan of the cringe-worthy name and ugly bottle, this fragrance actually isn’t bad. In fact, I really liked it upon initial sniff. It’s a more unisex-leaning spicy fragrance. More specifically, a spicy and woodsy leather....

I purchased this without sampling, wasn’t really sure what to expect as this flanker seems to be getting some mixed reviews. Well, it arrived today and upon first sniff, I fell in love. It is so beautiful and classy. I actually like this better...

Wow, this is enthralling, both on a paper tester and on skin. Even if it is not your usual taste, you will be drawn in. I found this almost disturbing when I first sprayed it, it instantly made me picture dark foggy forests, an evil tree,...

Beautiful straightforward white floral, dewy and green, reminds me of walking through a humid hothouse full of blooming white flowers. One of the less “challenging” Amouages, I think. That being said, this isn’t terribly unique,...

This opens with a clean yet also earthy “orris root”-type iris that reminded me a lot of L’Iris by Santa Maria Novella. After a few seconds, the vanilla comes in to add a sweet background note but the iris does stay front and center....

I can understand why this is one of the top-selling fragrances, it’s sweet, feminine, and very strong. I use a light hand with this one, though. 1-2 sprays to the back of my neck and that really is plenty to get me through an average...

I have the SMN discovery set of 8 fragrances, and this was a completely unexpected standout for me. My only previous experience with a tobacco fragrance was with Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club, which was a massive failure...

I purchased the discovery set of all 5 Harlem Perfume Co. samples, and after trying them all, THIS was the unexpected “winner” for me and the one I chose to get a full bottle of. I’ve seen people compare this to Maison Margiela...
