As opposed to most other vetivers, which are a little brash and stingy, Carven's is smooth, almost creamy, with just hint of sweetness. Opening with citrus/orange and a minty gin note, going through a lovely...

This is a juicy, buttery and delicious mixed scent of fig leaf and slightly unripe fig that makes you want to eat it. Seems very natural and authentic indeed. In the drydown it turns slightly woody with cedar or even sandalwood as a co-star. A little...

...in a box with various memorabilia from the late 90s in the basement. I didn't even remember owning this - the only CK I remember owning in the 90s was the "controversial" CK One which I remember because...

even if I feared it being too feminine with all the floral notes. Maybe I was also tempted by the fact that I'm pretty sure the name was meant to play with the outrageous title "Les Fleurs...

Reviewing a bottle from 1998. Well, it's clean, masculine and fresh yet cooling and somewhat synthetic. Starts off with a green opening with pine plus a hint of mint and transitioning into violets, which give off a slight metallic feeling....

This could be a part of the Hermés un Jardin line. If you're into summer freshies like e.g. Mugler Cologne but would like to soften up the soapiness with some white tea and fig plus added...

I have been waiting for years to test this and when finally trying it, I must admit I'm not the least disappointed. HM may have been introduced in '98, but smells very contemporary. Most prominent notes are vanilla and tonka spiced...

From Calice Becker, who among others has done many By Kilian and Tom Ford perfumes (not to forget she also composed the original female J'Adore for Christian Dior) comes one of her first fragrances launched by Joop in the mid-nineties. There's...
