I was a musician for many years, and certain smells from that world never leave you: freshly pressed records, warm tube amplifiers, and shellacked wooden stages. That warm tube amp scent with is heated dry wood, metal, and wiring is seared...

Le Soir opens with that unmistakable Play-Doh accord I’ve come to recognize from Hypnotic Poison, Bois d’Arménie, Cuir Beluga, Bvlgari Black (older batches), Luna Rossa Black, and a few others. Here, though, it fades...

Cargo De Nuit....Silvery musk, woody notes, mineralic notes all like fine threads of scent woven together in a thin sheen silken fabric. Futuristic, hazy yet oddly familiar with the cozy and soft coumarin shavings. This is an elevated...

The leather is worn in, traveled, the overall composition feels a bit rugged, even natural. You're on the road here...I love the sunny bright citrus opening with herbal and grassy touches. But, the leather appears with some spice...

This is beautiful, dry and meditative but also very classic is structure..woody bergamote and moss. I sense vanilla and orris lingering in the dry California climate. Palo Santo has a creamy, oily smell but here it is dry. It's my favorite...

What would happen if you took the suede accord from Ganymede, some of the florals from Tom of Finland and you removed the Lapsang Souchong from Bvlgari Black? Then you would be in the ballpark of The Grey by Nonfiction....

Skinny dipping with Aphrodite in a spring fed pool of herbs and flowers. Aquatic by way of a crystal clean mineral spring. Gorgeous and elevated perfumery. Performance is pretty decent with 3 to 4 hours of good wear and a skin...

I was taken by the entire Hellenist line, but À l’Ombre d'Artémis stole the show for me. It's so refreshing but not fleeting! Spectacular fuzzy green leaf accord, with a dewy rose, ambrette (musk) and moss heart. It's...

This is what Link puts on before meeting up with Zelda for an evening walk around Hyrule Castle grounds. Light woody fairytale like scent. Love the piney juniper opening with the light incense and vanilla dusted wood chips. I also own G Water and Eau Duelle...

The one perfume in my collection that bears any resemblance to Mx is the dry down of Clean Suede (Tom of Finland). This feels like an Antoine Lie evolution and refinement of that warm powdery base he is so good at producing. This time...

Mxxx The reviews below mine do a great job of summing up the notes. But, let's talk about the vibe. Very sensual, warm, loving, slightly dirty, slightly spicy incense, but a very human creation. Seriously hands down one the best...

You're on a hayride traveling through a dry meadow in early summer and someone ahead lit a cigarette and you caught a whiff downwind. What makes this scent so special is the addition of a light dusting of vanilla, the choice of florals,...
