2 out of the 3 times I've worn this, I've sadly had to scrub it off as it started to nauseate me. I think it's just too sweet and too dark with nothing to lighten or elevate it, and it becomes very heavy. Despite this I find...

This is probably the most disappointing paper vs skin experience I’ve had with a fragrance. In the bottle and on paper, this is an incredibly evocative scent for me. It’s a very dry, woody, dankly resinous,...

This one has taken me a while to come round to. I’ve tried to wear it several times and each time, I go “oh, nope, this is not my kind of scent” and then hours later when it’s dried down, I find...

Everyone compares this to "Ambre sultan (Eau de Parfum) | Serge Lutens", and I’ll admit when I first smelled it on paper, I thought it was virtually indistinguishable from the SL classic, with only the drydown being subtly different...

My initial impression of this perfume is actually of a note not listed - there's something about this that turns very fruity (in a lovely fresh, crisp way) on me. It might possibly be the chamomile, which can have a fruity quality when concentrated,...

This is a unique, complex fragrance that’s hard to pin down. Honestly, I don’t know what a lot of the notes in this are meant to smell like, so I’m just enjoying the enigmatic end result: slightly boozy, a little fruity,...

Having tried several of the Chakra range, I was initially underwhelmed by Chakra 3 in comparison to the others - mainly because of its fleeting nature. However, of the three I've tried, this has been...

This opens bitingly strong, I’m not sure what note is responsible. But it settles down quickly. What I get is a massive, indistinct floral bouquet with boozy and spicy aspects, hovering over a darker underlying quality that smells like…a...

When I wore this for the first time, I literally thought I was smelling a "Vanilla | 28 (Eau de Parfum) | Kayali" dupe, but I can't wear Vanilla 28 because it turns disgustingly, sickeningly sweet on me. No such problem with Candybox Alchemy. Before...

I can’t make up my mind how I feel about this one. When I first smelled it, I gasped because something about it is really impressive and beautiful…but at the same time, I found myself...

I’m starting to notice an annoying pattern: about 9 out of 10 times when I sniff a supposed “leather” perfume, I can’t smell any leather at all. I thought this was supposed to be a cowboy...
