DKNY Women by Donna Karan

DKNY Women Summer limited edition

It's all about the oranges!
The tomato leaves are in there to take the edge off, but they are an unusual addition.. giving a pungent quality to the top notes.
The woods warm up to a sweet but not floral summer/autumn base and I do detect an icy note right at the top that will be the vodka.
This a really modern smell from a progressive house, Foetidus' review beneath is a good one re: the notes I haven't mentioned.

Graveyard by The Goth Rosary

"Green and floral.
The smell of rich loamy soil, fresh green grass with a note of floral."
(The Goth Rosary)

The fragrance is definitely rich and subterranean... a sight nuttiness even, however I cannot detect any grassy scents in this unisex fragrance.

Dunhill by Alfred Dunhill

The ingredients listed above are well balanced and structured, this fragrance is more perfume than cologne and could be worn by both sexes due to it's geranium top, orris mid and sweet base.

This scent fits well with the other men's Dunhills and also sits quite alone as a musky, almost rose-like warming splash for business or leisure wear.

Salvador Dali pour Homme by Salvador Dali

Dead flowers on a wooden coffin covered in talcum powder.
Smells quite 80's.

Culture by Tabac by Mäurer & Wirtz

Same thoughts as MonkeyManMatt, a great scent that has long gone (as far as I know).
Not to be confused with the later 'blue' version listed, the green bottle was a totally different experience.
I'd buy some if I could find it.

Dunhill Pursuit by Alfred Dunhill

Gorgeous top notes of orange leaves, green leaves and cedar when sprayed, dries to a warm pineapple and incense.
The sandalwood, musk and amber are subtle as a base.
Not macho at all, smells fresh on... a very nice and distinctive scent, sweet but not flowery.
For winter I wear Dunhill Edition, this would be perfect for summer.
