Plasticine
After first donning Luctor et Emergo I was laughing. It is really a funny scent. When I was little child, I had colored, perfumed plasticine, and also colored, perfumed eraser (pink). It has almost the same fragrance. I connect it only to good, childish, carefree things, but I am curious if somebody else feels the same.
First it shows more almond and cherry (I doubt that it would be sour cherry), later it is more sweet and powdery, but does not changes so much.

Hard to call this to a parfume, but it would never be a problem to me to wear it. The name is a bullseye - I do not know what it has to do with this fragrance, but it is easy to recall.

Beeswax and happiness
I haven't seen the film, I do not know anything about it.
The name is quite interesting. I really like Japanese culture, so I decided to give it a try.
HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR is one of the most interesting fragrances in my opinion. I can not compare it to anything what I know, it is totally special. There are some perfumes, which are breezy, airy, this is NOT. It is definitely sweet, sometimes exaggeratedly - and on word "sometimes" I mean my own mood, not the change of the scent, since it really does not have changes, you can put it everywhere, on testpaper, on hair, on clothes, on skin, the scent will be the same, and till it disappears (minimum 8-9 hours), it remains what you smelled at first.
I can not identify from the notes else than beeswax. Smooth, sweet and strong fragrance, relaxing and natural. It makes H.m.A. a gourmand parfume.

Promises kept
LOVE POTION is exactly the same, what you expect after reading the notes.
Ginger is too weak to float on the heart notes, it sinks to the same level as heart notes. Coffee, cocoa are very strong there, giving a small bitter background noise amongst the sweet and powdery vanilla and tonka bean. Lily and tangerine makes the fragrance more fresh, so the parfume is not stifling or heavy at all.
It is a totally gourmand, sweet and nice scent, easy to wear to gourmand fans.
Do not mix it with other parfumes, because the result may be terrible.
The slight bitterness makes me to want smelling LOVE POTION on a guy once.

The cap is awful, it took a lot of time to take it off. The designe is nice, but you can not grip it.

Gold oil
I tried only a sample of this parfume. It was in a vial, without atomizer. I put one drop on my wrist, and was waiting. And the drop was sitting quietly and patiently on my wrist, without absorbtion. I had to splosh it myself on my skin. After it I checked the vial, turned it upside down. The small air bubble plodded leisurely to the top, so this fluid is really dense.

Then the miracle began. Oud and rose - two inseparably notes are flying heavy like an old and beautiful flying carpet. It was not stifling at all, sometimes oud fragrances cause headache to me, but nothing like this happened with AFFAF. After a half hour the rose was the first who left the scene, and I detected some woody, earthy note, but for me neither amber nor sandalwood was not recognizable.

My problem is, that after two hours the fragrance is almost nothing. It is still strong enough, but without any elegance or fineness, it is like a noname sweet parfume. If the first and second miracle would last longer, I would buy a bottle. On the other hand I tried Fiore d'Ambra as well, and there was a huge different between vial and full bottle with atomizer, the sample was much more weaker, so I believe, that the spray version is much better from AFFAF as well.

Old government building
Here comes a totally biassed review:
Opus I is called perfume, but actually it is something else. Really not a classic fragrance, rather an atmosphere of the time.
I could not identify the notes, but I have felt this scent before, when I was in an old government building. The scent of old stones, worn marble, stone staircase, aged black wooden balustrade, dust, paper. The base of it reminds me of wet rocks at the seaside.
Opus I is timeless, immemorial, it is not connected to age or gender, it is above them.
It lasts long and covers you, others can detect and identify it clearly within one - one and a half meter even after a half day. You do not have to snoope your wrists, they are enough close to feel it.

Edit: Be careful. Small samples (without spreader) are less spicy than the full bottle.
