A very fitting scent for one of my favorite cities. The lemongrass dominates from the start and goes strong, keeping company to the tropical florals, even dominating them a bit. The clary sage is pert and assertive, making her entrance on a drop...

This leather exceeded my expectations and made me appreciate what a talented perfumer can achieve even with notes that I generally tend to avoid, like saffron and animalic accords. The apple brandy in the opening is so elegant...

If I had to sum up "Dia Woman (Eau de Parfum) | Amouage" in a few words, it would be a modern take on a classic bouquet of florals sprinkled with aldehydes. She feels old school classic, soapy clean, but updated to a contemporary...

Probably one of the prettier freesias out there floating in a cucumber water flower arrangement next to a couple of magnolia and jasmine blossoms. The cucumber water reminds me of those 90's Calgon or Victoria's Secret...

Ah, Amouage just makes me wanna work harder so I can afford their jasmine concoctions! Damn you, Amouage! I still prefer the jasmine in "Ashore | Amouage", which is a spectacular marine jasmine-ambergris combination. But the balsamic sweetness...

Sadly, I am probably one of the few people who does not enjoy the famous white floral scent that Amouage lovers rave about, "Honour Woman (Eau de Parfum) | Amouage". Aside from the fact that the name and origin of the brand make me think of honor...

A very fresh, green stem of a rose, incredibly beautiful and simple and demure. Even without the zest and squirt of the grapefruit, this resembles "Baby Doll (Eau de Toilette) | Yves Saint Laurent"...

Straightforward, uncomplicated and sunny neroli and jasmine with a touch of minty-sweet citrus. I like it. When it`s hot and humid, what else do you need? The only thing that doesn`t make me excited about wearing this is the sweetness....

On paper, I loved "Darzalas | Luviane". It gives an alluring black licorice that feels masculine because of the bitterness of the cardamom and tobacco, and the darkness brought on by the patchouli and vetiver. On paper, it`s awesome. On my skin,...

This iris is a bit too old school for me. It`s very heavy on the orris butter, which combined with the balsamic notes makes for a vintage lipstick vibe, an old lipstick tube in those vivid reds and salmon-orange hues of the 1950s. It`s quite...

I was so there for this opening, it made my pulse race with anticipation because it almost approximated a discontinued scent I love, "Le Feu d'Issey Light | Issey Miyake". My God did this get my attention! The juniper and spices and that...

If you like peaches and/or tuberose, you ought to try this. And if you don`t enjoy excessive sweetness, you ought to stay away. This and "Suncrest | Ulrich Lang" have made me realize that I really don`t care much for peaches in perfumery....
