The latest Perfume Reviews

I loved this so much. It starts as a sweet gourmand "candy" like fragrance with a powdery texture. The notes read as blended rather than separable. Once it settled the "candy" phase started tapering off and I found more vanilla coming through....

Rosendo Mateu - No. 6 Jasmin, Sandalwood, Oriental Musk Review based on a sample size: Personally I found this fragrance very linear. To my nose it is pure sandalwood with a hint of jasmine. It didn't change as it developed on my skin and reminds...
