We have had an upgrade. There are lots of things to fix (review and wardrobe log-ins), but wanted to get things going again. See more in this blog post.

Piper Nigrum by Lorenzo Villoresi

I definitely detect the pepper from top to bottom, but as it drys down it just becomes a softer spice for me. My lady friend loves it. When I left the room she couldn't wait till I came back, she wanted to call me back because she liked it that much.

Armani Privé Bois d'Encens by Giorgio Armani

I don't give thumbs down. This frag smells like the Dallas Cowboy's locker room after Superbowl XXVII in 1993.

Hai Karate by Leeming

This toxic waste has torn a hole in the ozone!!

Carven Homme by Carven

I'm not a big fan of vetiver. But I love this blend along with the Comme de Garcons Vettiveru. FB worthy for me.

Borneo 1834 by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

Chocolate and Patchuoli. How very interesting combo. I'm not a big patchouli fan, but I would buy a FB.

Collection Homme Atlas Cedar by Jean-Charles Brosseau

I agree with vadim, top note had some cedar and I mean some. 5 minutes into drydown, nothing, nada. I'll pass.

Amandes Orientales by Montale

I need to give this another go, smells like Elmer's glue to me. Or that Ross Mucilage brownish colored syrup paste we used in old school.

Acqua di Sale by Profumum

I agree somewhat with Vibert on the licorice and cucumber, but I think it's the marine algae that's appealing to me. It's just OK.

Jubilation XXV by Amouage

Wow, Vibert hits it right on the head:

"Liberal application improves Jubilation's longevity as well. The luxurious drydown persists for hours and hours and is without question this fragrance's best feature. Oudh, myrrh, and opopanax engage in a complex dance upon a stage of leather. The medicinal astrigency of oudh and myrrh offer a perfect balance to the sweet opopanax."

Santal Blanc by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido

Thankful I only sampled it..not for me..it smells like rotten cocoa , may be the fenugreek. I'll pass.

Pi by Givenchy

Very long lasting but borderlines on too sweet.

Love the rose!!

Black Aoud by Montale

Like Vibert, I wanted to like it as well. But on me, I didn't care for it.

Bigarade Concentrée by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle

OK. I wouldn't buy it. Smells a little like black licorice to me.
