L'Essence de Must de Cartier by Cartier

I love this scent. But there is a problem, as a room spray - it's fantastic, on paper - it's amazing. On my skin, however, it turned into baby powder and made me gag. Even though I can't wear it i still happily keep my bottle and use at a room/linen spray in the autumn/winter, it is a really great spicy oriental that is somehow fresh at the same time. I want to give it a thumbs up but due to it's reaction on my skin I just can't, sorry.

Play by Comme des Garçons

I love this scent! I'm surprised to see the positive reviews of this here, most of the reviews I've read elsewhere criticize Play for not being avant garde enough. I think it is quite avant garde! To my nose Play smells as though someone made a pitcher of Tang and then spiced it with nutmeg and saffron before pouring the entire pitcher onto a flaming piece of plastic leaving an orange spiced melted mass of god-knows-what. I love it.

Marc Jacobs Autumn Splash Ivy by Marc Jacobs

At first I thought it smelled a little harsh, but after just a few minutes on my skin it turned into an orgasmicly amazing scent that I can't even describe! I Love It! And eventhough the longevity isn't that great, it's okay because there is just so much of it.

Lacoste Elegance by Lacoste

I really like this, although I guess Lacoste has never released anything i didn't like. It is very sweet, but not overpoweringly so (like A*Men), I really like to wear it for parties, or when I'm "dressed up". A wonderful elegant scent.

Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermès

A very clean scent, with a dry green (somewhat synthetic to my nose) undertone. It's okay, I wear it when I want to smell clean, not part of my daily rotation.

Antaeus by Chanel

At first spray this camme off a little powdery, which I did not like. But after only about 15 to 20 minutes it melted into this absolutely orgasmic scent. It was soft and smooth, but with amazing sillage and longevity! I could live in this stuff, too bad it's so hard to find in the US. :(

Eau d'Hermès by Hermès

I love this, the cumin is detectable but not overpowering and overall this scent is just pleasing. Although I feel it might be a little too masculine for a woman to pull off.

Eau Sauvage by Christian Dior

The perfect scent! Not too citrusy and just enough of the herbs so that one smells wonderful. Lasts a long time and compliments galore!
