At first, I found this repugnant. (I had a decant.) As a relative newbie, I came to fragrance through florals like J’Adore and Gucci Bloom. But I’ve learned ‘to get’ leather. First I acquired Babycat. However, I prefer Cherry Punk. The leather...

I’m picking up more of the cold petrichor and clean, wet soil. As someone who lives in a Mediterranean climate, Im a big fan of petrichor. The florals are cold and crisp like lilies laid upon a grave against a granite tombstone. The notes...

If you like tea, this delivers, and the fig shines through. Despite the the three citruses in the notes, they don't hit me in the face. The orange softens the bergamot, and they're expertly blended to create a fresh green, and compliment the rather...

The peony and lychee are the main players. The pink pepper and white cedar notes are mild. Overall the fragrance is a little spicy like sticking your nose into a pollen infused lily (although lily is not a note), with a slight green crunch. The lychee...

This is a knockout kaleidoscope of notes. The opening is a crunchy green floral. The violet pairs well with the orange, making this floral not too powdery and lightly sweet. The same with the cedar and vetiver; they bring out the best in each other....

I really like this! The opening is a sweet lemon floral, (The citrus is lemon, not bergamot as listed above.) The solar facet might be derived from pink pepper, which is never sharp nor prominent.The dry down is lemony lychee rose floral....

I can taste this fragrance in the back of my throat and back of my nose. I have two other BDK scents I love, being Gris Charnel and Tabac Rose. Now just because I don't like it, that is not the fragrance's fault. To me, this fits into...

Leather is a difficult note for me, as is patchouli and vetiver (and all three are here), and yet, I really like this. The Strawberry of the title is misleading, especially to gourmand lovers. There is no strawberry. But,...

First scent is a Raspberry and strawberry with a slight pink pepper fizz (although it’s not pink pepper. Maybe it's the mild peppery quality of *cyclamen which has a pepper quality to it. This note remains subtle throughout.) After...

For rose lovers, Atomic Rose, as the name suggests, isn’t sweet or cloying. There's an electric zing of green bergamot. This a mysterious, unusual, sexy ode to rose. For such simple notes, this scent feels complex yet translucent. Longevity...

I live in a California beach town, and this oil is the epitome of surf culture. (I am not a surfer, but love the coast.) Here it's a four season fragrance. It would make a fabulous fragrance oil for summer in colder climates. Or maybe...

The first spray is startling. I'm confronted with an intimacy of skin and musk. There's an impression of savory milk. An aquatic, mineral squid on glass. However, this intense biologic fades quickly. The synthetic watery notes are aldehydic,...
