perfumes, oud perfumes and smokey resinous perfumes.  Anyway I cannot convince anybody who insists being influenced by youtubers who sell perfumes online. I am not God. For summer and higher temperatures I suggest lighter and brighter perfumes, florals with musk and citrus fruits such as my favorite "Pure Twist Debois | Oros" or a sweet green fougere such as "Equipage (Eau de Toilette) | Hermès"...

iced tea, and a hint of vanilla. Wearing this makes me feel like I'm dressed in a delicate, gilded gown - sipping a chilled peach tea out of a glass goblet, in a moon-lit garden filled with night-blooming jasmine. It doesn't have the greatest projection or longevity, but is still one of my most favorite spring scents. 4. "Nollie (Eau de Parfum) | PacSun"   PacSun has re-released...

behind the new composition, focused on the contrast between classic interpretations and the avant-garde spirit of modernity when creating it. His aim was to capture the eclectic creativity of the late designer Karl Lagerfeld in a fragrance. The name of the perfume is inspired by one of Lagerfeld's favorite shades. When Karl Lagerfeld launched the feminine...

Beginning a new year, we often hear of "out with the old, in with the new" - but what about cleansing the palette of heavier holiday + cold weather scents? I think it's time for some "freshie" fragrances as part of the "new year, new you" restart!  As always, these are "cheapies" - so without further ado, here are some of my favorites from this scent profile: 1) "Disney...

almost) Valentine's Day, to those who celebrate! In the spirit of love, I've compiled a few of my favorite "cheapie" romantic fragrances. 💝 Valentine's Day reminds me of chocolate-dipped fruits, musks as sheer as lace, and of course... indulgent, gourmand roses! 🌹 But I also think there's no better way to show yourself some love, than feeling fresh and clean - so I've...

bottle of Bentley for Men in the mail today, the original version. I’ve been wearing the Bentley for Men Intense version for a couple of months and As much as I’ve enjoyed it, I like the Original even more. Is it perfect?… Not quite. It is mildly musky and undoubtedly masculine. It is my new favorite modern scent for men. It received the official approval of the highest scent court in the Kingdom…...

I got the wrong fragrance in the Isle Escape vial. I'll have to hold off on evaluating this perfume until I get my nose on a tester in store. "Capri Summer | Skylar": This fragrance is the first one I tried from the set because I thought I would love it based on its notes. Citruses are one of my favorite family of notes. Unfortunately, as soon as the scent hit my nose, all I smelled was air freshner....

with many others, I’ve been encouraged by all of them, men and women alike to quest for an answer and a solution.     That is what brings me here. What is my name?: Msense. What is my quest?: To find fantastic fragrances not influenced by gender-bender ideas. What are my favorite fragrances?: Houbigant Monsieur Musk for men from the 70s and 80s and The original...

whimper. 4. Just because others like a fragrance doesn't mean you will too Another way of saying this is, "don't blind buy based on reviews," but I will go a step further. Not everyone has the same taste, and even if it feels like everyone likes a scent, it doesn't mean you will too. A lot of my favorite scents have 6s and low 7s on Parfumo, and a lot of the top-rated fragrances I don't care for. Another...

are. The first and obvious one is "Favonius | Nishane". The rose here smells like the one Nishane has used in other scents as well, e.g. "Mana | Nishane". The overall aromatic feel to this may also give vibes of "Akaster | Parfums de Marly" which is an aromatic rose-oud and my personal favorite from Marly. But it is the drydown with the mix of sweetened...
