Just as master perfumers have developed perfumes with amber accords over the years that are considered masterpieces (I'm a fan of this type), in a modern era saturated with new ideas, Sultan Pasha has succeeded (like many...

How can you call something luxury overpriced? It means you are not interested in the product. Roja as we know is a high brand, like any other luxury brand, so the word overpriced makes no sense. The big problem with reviews is not being...

A dedication to Argentina, where the artistic side, the quality of the raw materials and the use come into perfect harmony, making it truly unique. It opens fresh, slightly spicy and with immediate woody hints. After a few minutes a greener, slightly...

I believe this is one of the most versatile works in the musk collection. It opens green, resinoid cannabis (the most realistic ever tried) like having a bud in your hand, to become at times more musky and sparkling. The evolution looks...

I find this formula successful in this collection. The start is animalic and my nose perceives a sweetish note as if it were hay, very pleasant. The scent is dark but not too dark, with undertones of birch tar (very far from CdR), which I find to be a tamer...

It might be nonsense, but I'm often testing this and comparing it to the beloved Atlantic Ambergris II. I'm sure AK can't replace ALD, but for Atlantic lovers, good news for me, the vibes can be there. Atlantic is spicy, ethereal, deep and red. Mineral...

The perfume Racquets evokes a sense of tranquility. It reminds me of something from the past, although I'm not sure exactly what. Early days of spring, towards evening, with the warm air. At times, there's also a scent of cleanliness, as if there's...

This is a fucking masterpiece. I haven't had such a beautiful and complex perfume in my collection yet (I have many). This is fruity at the right point, a little animalistic, green, earthy and leathery. One of the most beautiful releases...

The great gift of knowing how to make perfumes well is knowing how to make them appreciate even those who are not lovers of certain raw materials. Creed knows it. I appreciate vetiver, but too "simple" is not much. Here I can appreciate the simplicity...

Um, I'm not 100% sure, but I think this has nothing more than the first Aventus. The opening is definitely darker, smoky and sweetish. I think the heart and the drydown are quite similar, but they veer towards a "shape" more similar to Roja's Apex...

After extensive testing, I have come to the conclusion that Krissana is truly spectacular. The oud types bring me back to the liquor sensation I get in Trnp's Garden of Pleasure, wonderfully dark and edible. Obviously they take two different paths, here...

I would like to delve deeper after a test alongside Loup, the one chosen as an alternative to Varuek. I think it's a similar structure, as written about the house brother Prin, but quite different. Here I smell the spices a lot, especially...
