 | Cotillon by AvonA true classic and one of the best that Avon ever put out. It is a true testament of it's time. Lovers of carnation and vanilla need to smell this glorious creation. I love it. 10th September, 2011. |
 | Guerlain Homme L'Eau by GuerlainI love this in the first few minutes, it very exciting and satisfying. However, after that, it's absolutely nothing spectacular and shares the same chemical signature as many others on the market in the past few years. 17th June, 2011. |
| | Dare by CotyThis smells as if it could have been made in the 1920's!! An absolute aldehyic masterpiece with a very dirty civet laden drydown that I absolutely adore! WONDERFUL. 8th April, 2011. |
| | Love's Rain Forest by Love'sI love the "Earth friendly" idea behind this and applaud it, but this fragrance gets nauseating very quickly and it in no way reminds me of any glorious rain forest. In fact, it smells more like old aerosol hairspray...destroying the ozone layer with every spray! Is it meant to be a reminder? I don't know, but I am avoiding this like the plaque. Yuck. 25th March, 2011. |
| | Lolita Lempicka Fleur Défendue / Forbidden Flower by Lolita LempickaAnother highly addictive, sensual, and, yet somehow, demure creation of the wonderful Annick Menardo. The dark cherry note coupled with pink peonies on top of a bed of sugar sweetened almonds is rather intriguing. Admittedly, the fragrance is very strong at first, but, used moderately, it becomes more of a skin scent with an attitude as it dries down - lightly sweet, yet dark and inviting. Well worth having! 5th February, 2011. |
| | Vice Versa by Yves Saint LaurentFirst off, I hold YSL in very high regard. However, there are $1 hairsprays that smell better this. From the second I put it it on all I wanted was for it to end. Seriously, dreadfully bad. 1st February, 2011. |
| | Catalyst by HalstonFloral green with a bit of stinky herb's and stuff. A cacophony,yes....but it's fabulous. Most definitely unisex. If you can find it, you must try it. 27th January, 2011. |
| | Aviance Night Musk by Prince MatchabelliThis could be very lengthy review, but it would be pointless. I can sum it all up in one simple word - GORGEOUS! 27th January, 2011. |
| | Parfum Sacré by CaronA masterpiece! Clever in it's use of pepper and incense and a vanilla base that is rich and elegant - pure Caron grandeur. I will never be without this. WONDERFUL! 22nd January, 2011. |
| | Coup de Fouet by CaronSimply gorgeous. I will cherish my bottle of this forever! 20th January, 2011. |
| | Eau de Réglisse by CaronThe absolute beauty of this is astounding. The lemon verbena drenched top notes are truly delightful and mix wonderfully with the main star of the show - liquorice. The drydown is very close to the skin with an ever present light and woody patchouli softened further by a lovely ginger-vanilla and slight musk. This has quickly shot to the top of my list as my favourite liquorice scent. 12nd January, 2011. |
| | Darling by Kylie MinogueIn my opinion, this is a hugely underrated fragrance by the wonderful Thierry Wasser and Ms. Minogue. Yes, it goes on sweetly synthetic, but nothing as bad as others may make it seem. The true beauty of the perfume is the way it wears and it’s progression. The quality and the mastery of its creator makes itself apparent in this regard. As some have noted previously, the middle is where this one starts to shine (largely due to the freesia giving away to lily and then boronia mixed with a light vanilla) and then ends in a gorgeous base that is absolutely delightful and lasts for many, MANY hours. 9th January, 2011. |
| | Montaigne by CaronGLORIOUS, WONDERFUL, DIVINE! The opulence of this is second to none. Thumbs, way, WAY up on this classic! 4th January, 2011. |
 | Morgan de Toi Homme by Morgan de ToiI am a huge fan of Annick, so I just had to have this. All that can be said is that it's very simple and to the point. It simply does it's job of being a stronger version of a modern cologne and nothing more. 17th December, 2010. |
| | Magnolia Pourpre by Maître Parfumeur et GantierGorgeous in every way! A wonderful magnolia in all it's glory awash in a powdery bed of iris. Classic. 8th December, 2010. |
| | Éclat d'Arpège by LanvinThe presentation of this Eau De Parfum is gorgeous! The packaging is absolutely stunning - I love the light purple tint the bottle gives off. Unfortunately, the parfum itself is nothing more than a later version of D&G's Light Blue in a much nicer presentation. Of course I have to say I love it because I do; however, I loved it just as much before it got all dressed up and used another name. 4th December, 2010. |
| | Bleu de Chanel by ChanelI find this one very nice, but nothing special. To me it lacks the distinctiveness and quality characteristics that makes me think Chanel. To give it that characteristic, I would have amped up the incense note a few times, but that's just me. Nonetheless, this it's very wearable and I did get a few compliments on it when I wore it out. In my opinion, it projects better on fabric than skin, so spray that shirt and jacket boys! 23rd October, 2010. |
| | Vanille Fleurie by MolinardNot bad at all! A very simple and long lasting fragrance for vanilla lovers only! 15th March, 2010. |
| | Funtastic Boy by BenettonNice lemon, great longevity, and wonderful for summer. I like it! 3rd March, 2010. |
| | With Love by GuerlainA gorgeous and seriously overlooked fragrance that makes a lovely addition to the Guerlain collection. Christine Nagel did the house proud! Great from start to finish. I couldn't review it any better than MarksCarltonLane did below. 6th January, 2010. (Last Edited: 7th March, 2010.) |
| | Vol de Nuit by GuerlainThis is just almost beyond words. When I wear this I am absolutely transfixed by it's presence. What a beautiful and somewhat sad story it tells - as lovely today as it must have been when it was released. It reminds of an old film I saw recently about the ocean-liner S.S. lIe de France. It showed a very eloquently dressed woman standing on deck near the rear of the ship - wind blowing her hat, dress, and coat as she watched a mail plane fly overhead in the early evening sky. It was so awe inspiring - how it must have felt back then is beyond me. How melancholy and taken for granted it all now. A pity. All that aside, I will love this fragrance till the day I die. Absolutely one of the most gorgeous scents ever made, period. 3rd November, 2009. |
| | Nicole Miller for Men by Nicole MillerThe bottle I have is one of the newer ones and it is very, VERY boozy with a wonderful juxtaposition into the leather mid that I absolutely love. The apple top notes are really short lived, but effective and the honey stays in the background throughout the entire progression. I am getting very little vanilla, but it is there - like a drop or two of the cheap grocery store sort (not a bad thing) just for added measure. Strangely enough, the apple seems to come out again later on me - mixing with the bourbon and that little hint of vanilla. I REALLY like this stage. The base is very comforting and just plain nice- containing a lovely smooth as silk amber/sandalwood accord with a hint of oak moss (I stress hint) and sweet (do in part to the honey) musk. Sort of similar to some others, but the lack of patchouli makes this very different. Very nice indeed. 2nd November, 2009. (Last Edited: 3rd November, 2009.) |
| | Essence of United Colors of Benetton Man by BenettonI'll have to add my vote for a CK One clone. However, the drydown is darker and much more masculine. I like that it utilizes an awesome dirty red geranium like note towards the middle and end. That note alone adds an interesting twist to formula which I enjoy alot. 30th October, 2009. |
| | Zibeline by WeilI am with Brielle87 on this one - marvelous - I am very LUCKY to have a bottle of this masterpiece in my possession. Without a single doubt, this goes right up there with Guerlain's Jicky as a true classic. I dare say that Jean Desprez's wonderful Bal à Versailles (in it's civet laden cologne concentration) harkens back to this as a possible influence . . . 3rd October, 2009. |
| | Mon Peche / My Sin by Long Lost PerfumeAnway you go around it - the extrait of this is absolutely stunning. I will cherish my bottle of this lovely time capsule forever. 3rd October, 2009. |
| | Lutèce by DanaClassic. Very pleasant and enjoyable. I especially love the hints of peony and heliotrope over the powdery (not gaudy/dated at all) vanilla/musk base. Recommended. 2nd September, 2009. |
| | Baldessarini by BaldessariniThere is absolutely nothing remarkable about this at all - other than the fact that it lasts less than an hour. Horrible and boring. 28th May, 2009. |
| | Un Air de Samsara by GuerlainWow! This stuff is amazing. I absolutely love this take on Samsara! Much more "user friendly" for casual wear and a great alternative to the original. 16th May, 2009. |
| | Diesel Green Masculine by DieselSweetly coniferous fir on the top with a heavy emphasis on ginger, mandarin orange, orchid, jasmine and geranium in the mid notes. The base (which is absolutely wonderful) is an interesting blend of incense, amber, and sandalwood with just a hint of musk. Overall sillage is awesome, albeit a bit linear, and longevity is good (6-8 hours). Very well done. 10th May, 2009. |
| | Joop! Go Electric Heat by Joop!Simple, awesome, and a very nice utilization of saffron mixed with a sweet and vibrant citrus candy like accord. I'll be sporting this alot, indeed. Nicely done. 23rd April, 2009. |
