Casual sniff vs Note breakdown
by Zmoneaux | Perfumes & Brands
...Yep, I've been testing out Tiziana Terenzi's Casanova. I get bitter orchid, mentholated myrhh, sparkly ambroxan, pink pepper, cedar, and powdery iris.What do my friends get?"Smells like feminine powder."Just the nature of the game. When I write reviews, I write them for fragrance nuts, but I'm not stuck so far up my own ass to actually believe a passing whiff of any fragrance I wear conveys nearly as many notes as I get out of it when I review it. Usually it's the main note or feel that gets across in the air. Fahrenheit? Leather. Fahrenheit Parfum? Vanilla. Havana Vanille? Brownies. Silver Mountain Water? Lemon. Tom Ford Noir? Grandma. Terenzi Arethusa? Shampoo. Encre Noire? Grass. I can go on and on with all these. My coworkers and friends often have a one word summation for anything I wear and while it's not in depth, it's usually correct to an extent.

Musk and Ambergris
by Zmoneaux | Perfumes & Brands
...Musk should almost always be synthetic. Musk synthetics are much less expensive and more humane than natural.Ambergris, on the other hand, is very rare and one of the most expensive substances on earth. I can't think of anything apart from some boutique-y massively high dollar fragrance that'd have naturals of both in it.
