A passion that knows no bounds...
Friends, loyal readers, subscribers, have a lovely evening.
Hugo Boss Unlimited is a 100 ml Eau de Toilette for men. If I'm not mistaken, this perfume was released in 2014.
Aroma... Ah yes, this needs to be said... you cannot breathe, become satiated, enjoy... it is always incredibly small... Charming, devilishly attractive.
It formed a contrasting pair. Both scents have an incredible allure, impressing with a bright, charming trail.
Top notes: Violet leaves.
Heart note: Pineapple
Base notes: Sandalwood, white musk
In the future, I naturally delved into the pyramid with interest, because besides the notes listed on the box, I distinctly sensed the presence of something else. As a result, I learned that the top notes, in addition to violet, also include mint and grapefruit; in the heart, alongside pineapple, there is a rose and my favorite cinnamon, but in the base, besides the aforementioned sandalwood and musk, which I love just as much, labdanum is also mentioned, which, by the way, is known for its warm, incredibly sensual scent.
All of this together creates a captivating men's fragrance composition that has everything to enjoy and more... Such aromas inevitably cut into the soul, bringing true joy and allowing you to anchor certain moments in life. But in the future, this trick is like a time machine that magically returns you to a specific time, as if you could relive some important, desired episodes once again. All of this is an anchor for a fragrance; it is also an olfactory anchor, perhaps the strongest one I truly appreciate for its magic and that I always use when I want to anchor an event that is very dear to my heart.
The presence of sandalwood, musk, and pineapple in the pyramid was decisive in many ways. An incredibly sensual combination of notes. I know myself and feel my husband's preferences in a subtle way, so I had no doubts in choosing the charming Hugo Boss Unlimited.
Hugo Boss Unlimited... The scent has an irresistible allure. Well, how else? Fougere, woody... everything we love... It is truly impossible to resist such a crazy sensual fragrance.

A peculiar scent
Another sampler that I received in the set is Oriflame Giordani Man Eau de Toilette for men. I can't say that I was able to appreciate this scent; rather, it disappointed me because I expected much more from it, knowing the value and status of the Giordani series. And it is quite possible that I simply haven't matured enough to appreciate this fragrance in all its glory.
The aroma is pleasant, citrus fruits can be felt, but unusually so, not bright, which I am so used to. This scent is more woody, but very solid, I would say. The aroma is not heavy, like tobacco scents or purely woody ones. At the center of the composition are notes of woody vetiver and sandalwood. There are notes of black pepper and bergamot that provide that woodiness, while jasmine and neroli add freshness. They mixed everything and a lot, but the result surprised me, and I didn't really like it.

The Scent of My Mood!
A big hello to everyone reading my review. I have an entire shelf filled with all kinds of colognes, and Clinique Happy Water has its firm place among them. My wife gifted me this perfume on my wedding day, and I was very happy with this gift because its aroma is exactly what I like and what I have been searching for so long.
This cologne is not cheap, and it is stated that it was made in Switzerland. I hope that is true. Unfortunately, the packaging did not survive, but it had a bright orange color and looked like a tangerine.
In general, the clinic pyramid is very logically structured.
The top notes are lime, green notes, mandarin orange, lemon, and marine notes;
The heart notes are freesia, jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose;
Base notes: cypress, musk, agarwood, and cedar.
Fresh, bright citrus fruits gently transform after application into lily of the valley-jasmine or jasmine-lily of the valley, leaving a lingering taste of musk cedar with citrus. Such a sweet, fresh cocktail is perfect for the spring-summer period and for charming, good-looking people. Such men are usually leaders, cheerful fellows, comedians of society at any age. Why do I mention age? Because many say that the clinic is not suitable for everyone, after testing it, claiming it is designed for young men. Here I disagree; it’s just that Clinique hasn’t chosen you, dear wearer.

Originality. Specificity. Originality.
Hello everyone!
The hero of today’s review is the men’s fragrance Grey Flannel by Geoffrey Beene. I want to say that this is one of a) the most extraordinary b) peculiar c) specific and even very strange )) men’s fragrances that I know.
I find it necessary to mention that this fragrance was released in 1975! And yes, perhaps - the sound of this perfume feels a bit retro to me. But that’s my subjective opinion.. However, this fragrance is definitely not a "mass" scent, you won’t find it everywhere and it is very original.
I would now equate its sound with niche fragrances: due to its non-standard and originality. Yes, and the amount of ingredients used. The aroma is rich, loud, powerful. smile It’s time to look at the aroma pyramid and be surprised:
Top notes: Galbanum, Neroli, Petitgrain, Bergamot, and Lemon
Heart notes: Violet, Iris, Geranium, Mimosa, Sage, Daffodil, and Rose
Base notes: Oakmoss, Vetiver, Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Almond.
As for the sound of the fragrance and the perfume bouquet: I would characterize Geoffrey Beene as naturalistic, “earthy” and “mossy.” Sharp for me both at the beginning and in the opening. And only at the end of its sound do I finally stop feeling this intense stream of various and overwhelming notes. Apparently incompatible)) and I can notice an interesting woodiness and pleasant citrus notes.
As for the downsides that I didn’t like: a slightly soapy sound. And the presence of several notes that I don’t like in perfumery: Galbanum and Daffodil, which are clearly noticeable here. Also for me - the combination in a fragrance of notes like Neroli and Violet, Iris and Geranium, Daffodil and Galbanum - creates a pile and a feeling of perfume congestion.

Ode to Vetiver. An interesting origin story and an amazing aroma.
History of Creation
The creator of the famous brand Lalique is the Frenchwoman Rene Lalique (06.04.1860 - 01.05.1945), who did not immediately start in perfumery - at the beginning of her career, she worked as an apprentice at a Parisian jeweler and later became a jeweler herself. Her name became known to the public after she had a famous client - Sarah Bernhardt, who was only featured in Lalique's works. In 1889, Rene opened her own jewelry studio.
Lalique became famous alongside Faberge, but she did not want to remain solely in the jewelry business. She enjoyed creating figures and decorating fountains.
In 1907, Rene received an offer from François Coty, a famous perfumer, to develop perfume bottles. Beautiful bottles still had value back then, even after their contents were used up.
Lalique has been producing perfume bottles for a century, so they decided to launch their own perfume.
As I mentioned above, Rene Lalique spent some time creating various objects, including glass. I think the perfume bottle is a kind of homage to this time of the head of the fashion house. And here the name of the fragrance (Black Ink) makes sense - the bottle resembles an inkwell.
Pyramid and Sensations
Top note - Cypress
Heart note - Vetiver
Base notes - Musk, Cashmere wood.
As you can see, the pyramid is not numerous, if not sparse. But this fragrance is proof that even mono-scents can deserve respect and admiration.
Encre Noire is for me a multifaceted, complex, very sensual composition. The leading note is occupied by vetiver, which immerses itself in a green abandoned forest, where there was a warm rain some time ago.
Another component of the fragrance - cashmere wood - adds a bit of powderiness to the overall pyramid and makes it softer. It also softens the other components of the fragrance - thus the musk accord sounds softer, there is no animal note that can be found in other compositions.
When I compare Encre Noire to nature, I can associate it with evening fog in the forest. It resembles loose, damp earth, centuries-old trees framed by velvet cypress. Feel the thinned air after a thunderstorm.
This fragrance is more than mysterious. It is noble, magnetic, incredibly polite.
In terms of longevity, I can say that this fragrance has incredible sillage. It spreads slowly but very intensely.
Despite the fact that I have Encre Noire in the concentration of Eau de Toilette, it is quite persistent and lasts a long time.
Encre Noire Eau de Parfum is also available in 60 ml crystal bottles.
As you know, perfume cannot be gifted - people's perceptions are so different that admiration for one can evoke only hostility for another.
OVERALL
The fragrance is definitely worth a look. It strikes with a combination of pyramid ingredients, enveloping and giving its wearer a magical secret.
Pros:
- interesting pyramid;
- loop;
- persistent;
- mysterious;
- cost-effective.
Cons:
The fragrance may not be suitable for everyone.
