Fragrance Reviews by Galbanum

It is one hell of a scent. A dance of sweet and aromatic notes, a lush interpretation of tea.

Either you love it or hate it. I love it. It brings out the white-and-green facet of my otherwise oriental character. Henri Robert. 1970.

I'm proud to be one of the residue owners of his amazing fragrance. Even more so given the fact that it is desined to be relegated to oblivion. It is a classic, in a way old-fashoned, yet distinct and modern. I wear it for very special occasions hopelessly hoping to renew is lease of life. Whenever I see and orchid, irrespective of the colour it flaunts, in my eyes it is White.

A proud owner claims victory. Oriental sweetness that befits all occasions. Oriental by definition, contemporary by feedback. Lacme's Flower duet.

A typical Armani fragrance. The top note on the first whiff a miracle, the drydown that comes all too soon a sopey "qualcosa". Lacks a lasting kick for my gusto. Armani elegance petering out. Pity.

Along with Egoiste my sandalwood based fave.

I find it a bit deja vu Western Oriental fragrance. However, cannot wait for the male equivalent to arrive.

Spicy notes, combined with the warm oriental undercurrent enveloped in fruitiness will win you round. Didn't like it first time round, love it now. When did the switch-over occur? Have no idea. It just crept on me.

Jack Polge did it again. A contemporary fragrance with a classic twist. Pour Monsieur of the new era, true to the original, yet distinct without being tampered on.

Cinema Summer version is a very nice rendition.
The bottle is a collector's item, the fragrance ditto. Can Cinema go Summer? Pleasently suprisingly yes!

Compliments to the chef for this one. Warm and cold. Now what?
Have had the honour to savour the summer 2006 lighter rendition, which is nice and true to the spirit of the original. What puts me irreversibly off is the blue colour of the fragrance set against the original brown bottle external. Am sticking to the original fragrance (colour) slash bottle. Extreme version will make me even more happy. More than I can wish for.:)

It is a woody oriental par excellance. It is my all favourite fragrance and given my passion for it it is most likely to remain my companion for the rest of my life.

"very excellent, once the commonplace topnotes dissipate" - very true. I found the fragrance very not-so-special at the first go but when it develops on the skin it is just amazing. I finished off the entire 100 ml edt and the cooling gel in spring/summer. What's more everyone was asking me what I was wearing. it made me feel really special. For those who want to try it only applying it on your skin will do.
