Fragrance Reviews by flco

It a fun fragrance for a casual spring day on myself... But for a dog!? Oh my god, pun intended, the poor creature's eyes and nose! I know you're not supposed to spray it directly in the animal's face, but still, it may make the dog itchy. Dogs lick their snouts, and perfume cannot be good for them to ingest. What is society coming to? Perfumes for DOGS? Unscented baby shampoo works just fine to make Maggie not stink, and it's GENTLE.

Thumbs up for a fun, flirty, affordable fragrance that lasts for hours. Thumbs down for weird marketing. But I'll give it a thumbs up anyway.

Feeling miserable after bombing a midterm, I went to my favorite perfume shop and asked what they'd suggest for someone who's been having a really bad day. I probably shouldn't have rewarded myself for doing badly on a test, but perfumes always make me feel better, and I needed a pick-me-up because I knew it was all my fault, especially since I would have done decently on it if I had only put in a couple hours of work.

I smelled Mure et Musc and Ananas Fizz, both of which were lovely fragrances, but I wanted something less happy and more comforting. Then they showed me Bois Farine, and on the card that I sniffed, I thought I detected hazelnut. I decided on this fragrance and spritzed some on my wrist when I got home. Peanut brittle. That was one of my favorite treats when I was a youngster. It's not something I'd wear everyday--it smells like peanut brittle--but I wear it when I'm going to be around children or when I want to feel like a child. I wore this scent to a baby shower just the other day and someone asked me what it was.

I hate milk. And when I sniff the nozzle, this stuff seems kind of gross. It reminds me of milk that someone put way too much sugar in. But when I spray it on myself, it quickly turns into an interesting fragrance as the vanilla notes become apparent. Still, I'm not in the mood for it every day. I only wear it once in a while. It has excellent staying power on my skin. My room mate liked it on me so she tried a little on her hand and it smelled unappealing (like spoiled milk). We gave it 15 minutes and it still smelled gross, so she washed it off. So defitely try a sample on yourself before buying a bottle. It's all body chemistry I suppose.

This is perhaps one of my favorite Bond No. 9 scents in terms of just how it smells in the bottle--I wish it lasted more than two hours on my skin! I also wish I knew about its weak staying power on me before I payed for this expensive perfume. I only got the 1.7oz bottle, but still. This teaches me that I should play around with samples before I decide to buy a bottle, so I would suggest you do that too if you're considering buying this fragrance. The staying power obviously, judging from other reviews, varies from person to person.

A lot of people complain that Artisan perfumes do not have much staying power. This stuff stays on me all day--maybe it's just my skin, I don't know. Anyway, I find this to be a very warm, woody scent, but I would not describe it as "exotic". (Piment Brulant is more exotic and fun, I almost got that one.)
