Eau Capitale is a fragrance created to embody, according to Diptyque, none other than Paris. Paris, a city with immense culture and history, represented by a modern chypre-esque fragrance, seems quite fitting to me. Of course, calling this a modern chypre...

In my short time of owning it, Grey Vetiver has quickly become a go-to fragrance in my collection. Vetiver is one of my favorite notes in the fragrance world, and Tom Ford really did a wonderful job taking the iconic facets of vetiver while...

Guerlain's Lui is a bit of an illusive fragrance. We all know by now that the fragrance went through a rebrand along with the rest of the L'Art & La Matière collection, but even after this, Lui has always remained a bit of an illusive fragrance within...

Giorgio for Men will always be a nostalgic fragrance for me. My Grandpa, who is just as much addicted to fragrance as I am, has always been partial to Giorgio, and smelling it reminds me of a trip I went on with them in the summer of 2007. We were...

In Greek mythology, the Hesperides were nymphs of the evening who were meant to represent the light of sunsets. They have historically been depicted as delicate and beautiful women, oftentimes found near a sort of fruit tree in a lavishly...

Throughout my fragrance journey, I have been silently trying to find the "perfect" rose fragrance. Eau Rose stands out as the closest I have come to fulfilling this goal of mine. This is a rose that has a very clear goal, focusing solely on the natural...

I've had my bottle of Sultan Vetiver for a while now, and I've worn it at least 7-8 times, but I still can't really decide how I feel. The immense praise it received on here led me, a huge vetiver lover, to blind buy this, and I'm happy with...

The fragrance of my dreams, truly. I have always wanted a luxurious, powdery, spicy floral like Orpheon, and was elated to finally discover this fragrance on my trip to New York earlier this year. Orpheon is a fragrance...

In my recent trip to New York, I somehow found myself lucky enough to purchase a 'vintage' (which in this case is not super old given that this fragrance has only been around since 2009) bottle of Guerlain Homme. It's seemingly one of the lesser...

I typically rate and write reviews on fragrances from my own perspective, focusing on how the fragrance worked for me as opposed to a general sentiment. The issue with this though, is that at times I rate fragrances that smell objectively good...

My family is quite a large one. Both my mother's parents and my father's parents got divorced and remarried prior to my being born, so growing up I had a lot of grandparents to show me love. To make it even better, I was the only grandchild...
