Pour Un Homme de Caron (1934) Eau de Toilette

TOM FORD'S SIGNATURE SCENT: WHERE LAVENDER MEETS VANILLA

Alright, let’s get straight to it — this is mild, soft, refined, and polite. Completely unisex. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if my bottle was authentic at first and had to double-check because the juice isn’t...

Mantes-la-Jolie

Astier de Villatte

GREEN GODDESS

It is a remarkably fresh and natural-smelling fragrance — like a cooling herbal cocktail on a hot day. Imagine a farmers market stand overflowing with freshly picked mint, basil, and eucalyptus sprigs. The opening is a burst of mint — so realistic,...

I’d argue vanilla is the real star, not lavender. It's a beautiful herbal-citric vanilla with a slight burnt sugar twist — watery, musky...

Not a Perfume (Eau de Parfum) - Juliette Has A Gun - 14 days ago

5
Bottle 2
Sillage 4
Longevity 1.5
Scent

A skin scent. Smells like you, but slightly cleaner, as if you just showered with unscented soap & are now wrapped in an existential crisis.

Nudiflorum (Extrait de Parfum) - Nasomatto - 1 month ago

Bottle 9
Sillage 10
Longevity 3
Scent

Smells like cocaine — chalky, synthetic bell pepper + leathery notes. Transitions into dusty roses & dirty musk. Revolting. Gag-inducing.

Safari (Eau de Parfum) - Ralph Lauren - 1 month ago

Sillage 9
Longevity 6.5
Scent

Speaks directly to the idea of a safari with its dry, mossy & woody notes. Powdery soap, dried florals & vegetal, bitter undertones. Chypre.

Un Bel Amour d'Été - Parfum d'Empire - 2 months ago

Scent

It smells like Hawaiian flower leis, expensive sunscreen, and rain-drenched gardenias. Musky ambrette base — warm, like sun-kissed skin.

Crème Brûlée - Theodoros Kalotinis - 2 months ago

Scent

Sugary vanilla-coconut. Smells like Rafaello candy. Coconut cream with a rich, fatty sweetness, and there's a slight nutty hint (almond)

Jany - Sora Dora - 3 months ago

Bottle 9
Sillage 10
Longevity 9.5
Scent

Captures every element of a freshly baked apple pie. The buttery crust, a drizzle of caramel, baked apples, and a dusting of cinnamon. Yum!

Ylop - Sora Dora - 3 months ago

Bottle 7
Sillage 8
Longevity 6.5
Scent

It is fruity, with rosemary undertones, and sweet base notes. Osmanthus-heavy. Lacks fullness and character. No wow factor. Ylop or a flop?

La Capitale - XerJoff - 3 months ago

Bottle 7
Sillage 7
Longevity 6.5
Scent

Sticky, fruity caramel amber with saffron, smoothed out by a tart strawberry note that helps keep the sweetness in check. Pretty. Easy wear.
