This is truly horrible. At first, it smells of rubber and of burnt tires. There is also something reminiscent of the interior of a car, but not a nice one, there is a faint smell of the exhaust gas. Imagine a bumpy ride in an old car that makes you feel...

I’ve been in love with this one for so many years! This is the most comforting fragrance I’ve ever come across. It’s warm but not sweet. It’s unique but not weird. It’s stimulating but not overwhelming....

I really don't understand the positive reviews of this one. For me this is cheap and smells cheap. I think it's a fantastic idea, but poorly executed. The cedarwood is so dominant, that the other notes hardly have any chance. I've always...

This has been my favourite for the last three years or so. I was fantasising about a church-like incense, but with some more depth to it. And Casbah was the first thing that has been suggested to me. At the beginning, I thought...

I’m at the Warsaw airport. And I’m not even late this time. Since the duty-free started offering niche fragrances, I decide to have a look. Nothing really interesting, let’s move on. But wait, Polish...

This was a blind buy, and I was sure I was not going to regret it. The fragrance turned out to be exactly how I imagined it to be. The name says it all: cold water. Without anything too artificial or tacky. It smells of mint, of a sunny morning,...

This is a very interesting take on aquatic, marine scents, with purely detectable Serge Lutens DNA. Even if not mentioned in the original description, I’m pretty sure this one also contains incense, which...

I can very well understand why this one might be polarising. At the beginning, I myself wasn’t sure if I love it or hate it. But it was definitely nothing in between. The opening is sharp, reminiscent more of a detergent...

For me, this is the most conventional fragrance in the Extrait de Musique collection. While the others are significantly darker, this one is really easy to wear and will probably please a white variety of tastes. So, if you’re...
