bergamot, oakmoss, lily of the valley, vetiver... these notes could be put together to arrive at a clean that is perfect for both sexes. However, the end product does not always fit the bill. In Cerruti 1881 Série Limitée for men, Bvlgari's Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert, and Hermès' Le Jardin de Monsieur Li, I experienced an aura of clean that is parfois unisex. But there...

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 Oscar de le renta for women...

Qui Meurt" ("dying flower") from 1901, was the result of a new experiment with a synthetic violet fragrance - a poetic depiction of the last moment of a flower sacrificing itself to its perfume. The fragrance was soon accompanied by two other creations: "Voilette de Madame" (1904) and "Mouchoir de Monsieur" (1904), created for a couple who were friends of Guerlain's. ...

a matter of attraction-repulsion between chypre's accord and my sense of smell. For this reason, in my collection, there are almost no chypre colognes, neither modern nor old-school styled. Well, a very few fragrances that fall into such a family, and I can count on one hand, scilicet Chanel Pour Monsieur, Pour Homme Van Cleef & Arpels, Versace L'Homme, Halston Z-14, and 1881 pour...

Dominique Ropion, and Frederic Malle get on with each other quite well, which can be proved by 5 scents from the serie Editions De Parfums: Carnal Flower, Geranium Pour Monsieur, Une Fleur de Cassie, Vetiver Extraordinaire and the most popular one among the true connoisseurs of perfumes Portrait of a Lady. Those who are more familiar with Frederic Malle’s offer know that most of Ropion’s...

Monsieur Guerlain's lovely tribute site has been summarily shut down at the behest of LVMH over alleged trademark infringement. To all appearances this represents cold-blooded and inexplicable treatment of an individual who had been the brand's biggest cheerleader. Although the house is legally entitled to...

it announced the launch of Poison Girl at sometime during January of 2016.And this is where strange things started to happen.It doesn't matter if I'm going to like the perfume, although I have to admit that I'd most likely headbutt the butthead responsible for its creation at any given chance.

According to my understanding of fougeres, I can see Cool Water and Jazz belonging to this group but I cannot understand what they have in common with Mouchoir de Monsieur or even Kouros.
