Frenchy Lavande

Guerlain

Expensive eau-de-cologne

Smells nice, reminiscent of an old school unisex eau-de-cologne (you know, the ones that used to be sold in apothecaries). Sparkly herbal opening with lemon; prominent "ambergris" in base. The structure looks very much like classic fougere,...

Samsara comparison for the curious

I thought I'd write this up as people might be wondering if this can replace the Samsara extrait. Crazy priced as this is, the extrait is not cheap either. TLDR: no, this closer to modern Samsara EDP rather than the extrait. The...

A very nice take on rose + patchouli theme. No longevity whatsoever

Moonlight - Pana Dora - 23 days ago

This is a Baccarat Rouge clone

Scent

Reminiscent of Escentric 01 and Ouarzazate by Comme des Garcons. Freshy pine needle / woody. No eucalyptus detected

Scent

This is a perfume oil, just so you know. Very fugitive, sits close to skin, a cheap vaguely floral smell

Golden Nectar - Nest - 1 month ago

Opens with sweet caramel, then transforms into powdery old lipstick smell

Forever Wanted - Azzaro - 2 months ago

Surprised this is classified as masculine. This is a sweet fruity-leathery fragrance, unisex at best.

Scent

Old school floral structure over modern smoky woody base. Good, but great classics can still be found for much cheaper.

Opus XIV - Royal Tobacco - Amouage - 5 months ago

Smells very literally like pipe tobacco, + some candied fruit. The smell is not as complex and nuanced as the pyramid would suggest.

Rose Amira (Eau de Parfum) - Guerlain - 7 months ago

A note on comparison with the extrait: this is darker and more velvety, and has more patchouli comparing to the extrait. (tested on paper)

Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) - Kilian - 7 months ago

Poorly constructed. For first 3 hours smells heavenly, boozy chocolate. Then all the notes go away and dusty smoky wood is all that's left.

I love books, and I love perfumes, so naturally, I read about perfumes a lot! In this very brief review I will share my impressions of Lizzy Ostrom's "Perfume: A Century of Scents". The book looks at the history of British culture through the olfactory lens. Which...
