Time and time again it seems that the best and most unusual perfumes are discontinued. Birmane is a case in point. I do agree with a lot of what Scentimental said in his review, but cannot see Birmane as "bland". Upon...

I have to admit that Noir Freesia & Honey has me very confused. I'm not sure why this is named "Noir". There really isn't anything dark about it. It seems more suitable to the daytime that the dark of night. I had high hopes for this as I love...

I am torn with Ivoire (2012). On one hand I love it, on another I feel betrayed that it's not the complex genius that is the original Ivoire. I had to take a step back and try it twice prior to writing this review. I needed to see the new version...

I was rather dreading trying this after my bad experience with Midnight Fantasy and the cherryade. However, I needn't have worried. To start with, as with all of the bottles in the "Fantasy" range, this one is very pretty and feels...

Midnight Fantasy was recommended to me as something I might enjoy with my recent foray into gourmand-land. I was hoping that the plum would be more evident than the cherry as I find cherry rather cloying in perfumes. Ironically, I love...

To start with, I adore the bottle. It's a beautiful design that refracts the light and looks very expensive and exclusive. The dark fuchsia along with the gold is, quite frankly, sexy and very appropriate for this fragrance. This is the first Victoria's...

I'm beginning to think that the marketing department of Elizabeth Arden decided to make M sound different, unique, mysterious with the list of "notes" that are supposed to be within this perfume. I am currently really...

I'm not a fan of most colognes. They tend to be too sharp and sour for my tastes. I do like citrus, but for me it has to be tempered with a floral note or with some sweetness. I was craving the smell of oranges for some reason and saw this...

As always, I'm on the lookout for a bargain. I got the opportunity to buy three 50ml bottles of this hard to find perfume for £8 and I snapped them up. Being a lover of rose and oud, one of my favourite perfumes is Montale's Aoud Queen...

I was rather circumspect about buying this perfume, but when I saw a second hand half-bottle for sale on eBay for £5 including postage, I felt it was worthwhile to sample this. I am a self-confessed rose lover! Roses are regal, sweet and fragrant....

I would never have put those two adjectives together before smelling Black XS Potion Pour Elle. But this is a perfume that is most definitely both dark and soapy. Now, I like both types, especially dark, deep mysterious fragrances. Initially upon...

I was intrigued to try this fragrance for several reasons. Firstly, I love vanilla, freesia and lychee. I imagined the beauty that these three notes brought together would create. Secondly, Korres market their products as being natural and vegan....
