Sweetgrass

DISCLAIMER: My sample vial broke and I had to pour it all on me or lose the juice, so this review is based off of one wear. One very thorough wear in a very cold and dry climate (it's -20°C outside as I write this). Sycomore opened up much...

I have been lying to myself. The first fragrance I bought for myself solely because of the fragrance itself wasn't "Insolence"; it was this body spray, which I got because I love the Fig shower gel and body butter...

Black is one of the few fragrances I would call outright sexy, and one of the few in which a prominent vanilla accord doesn't get cloyingly sweet. I get only a whiff, if that, of the various woods and florals...

Far from being adventurous, this perfume is the spitting image of domesticated and carefully cultivated pleasantness. The opening citruses last only a moment, and while ginger does provide some contrast...

Catch Me is the one perfume outside of the Alien family I've smelled that actually resembles them a lot. Ropion seems to be building on his past work with this perfume, but doesn't quite achieve what has made the various Aliens memorable. It isn't the blast...

Disclaimer: I love Rihanna. No questions asked. I was really excited about this new release, and when I read about others' impressions, I got even more excited! Thus, after a lot of nudging and winking, I got a mini bottle of Rogue for Christmas,...

I haven't reviewed this one yet? What a shame! It is one of the few full bottles I own and my most worn perfume along with its flankers. Mugler fragrances aren't that popular in Finland and kind of hard to find for mainstream frags,...

I have to hand it to Oriza L. Legrand for making their perfumes like they do. All of the ones I have smelled (well, all of them, thanks to their generous sample program!) are both timeless and wearable and I would imagine well-suited...

The reformulated Visa is an inoffensive fruity floral, distinguished from the contemporary lot mainly by quality rather than originality. I would love to smell the original formula, just out of curiousity. If I have the time another day,...

This perfume lives up to its name. If you know Bottega Veneta's eponymous perfume from 2011, you will probably find some similarities between the two, but where BV is mossy, pungent and haughty, Cuir Velours is like a moment in a well-worn plush...

I seem to be having a woody season—probably the only logical answer to the dry, brittle cold wave we're having. Either that or none of the gourmand-y stuff registers with my nose. I didn't even know "white...

I got my sample as an extra on a perfume purchase and decided to just try it. Wow. Thanks to Missk for pointing out this is Australian sandalwood with cedar, because the kind that I know is very different and I was confused at first. At first it reminded...
