| | Aqua Motu / Motu by Comptoir Sud PacifiqueI rather pleasant fragrance with cucumbers, melon, fresh sweet seaweed & something cool in it as well. It's like sitting @ a lagoon enjoying the breeze of a warm day. It opens up lively with cucumber, melon & seaweed which last throughout the entire life of the fragrance which on me is between 4-5 hours.. That is my only complaint with this, so I am skeptical about purchasing a full bottle, however it is nice for casual summer wear but it did not win me over.... To bad it has the potential.. 10th August, 2011. |
| | No. 22 by Chanel( VINTAGE ) 9th July, 2011. |
| | Covet Sarah Jessica Parker by Sarah Jessica ParkerCovet to my surprise is a very nice fragrance. It's not a WOW perfume but a nice one. It is very green but at the same time the dark chocolate in this gives this green beauty some dryness. It does sparkle & I would have to give that credit to the honeysuckle?! But @ any rate, it is nice for every day wear, to an office or just a day in the park, young women & old can enjoy this & men. This last between 6-8 hours on my skin & it projects ok. For the price of this set you can not go wrong. I see no reason how you can offend someone with this particular scent. 28th May, 2011. |
| | Tendre Poison by Christian DiorIt is sad that this has been discontinued.. A let down for all Poison fans. However the name of this fragrance is misleading. There is NOTHING really Tender about this Poison.. It comes out very strong almost harsh with it's bright boast of floral bouquet. It is like walking in the amazon seeing the rainfall in the distance, as you stumble upon a green tree you grab a branch but do not notice that hidden on the branch is a green mamba! ( snake ) It strikes @ you the moment you grab the branch. This is exactly how Tender is. Lovely, yet deceiving. It stays floral throughout it's life with wet green pastures lingering along. A see a mature woman wearing this beauty in the spring/summer days. Classy this is, & it last all day on me @ least 10+ hours & it projects very nicely. If you can find this, I say nab it before it becomes extinct! The vintage version is preferred if you can get it. 28th May, 2011. |
| | Givenchy Play by GivenchyGivenchy Play is a backstreet fragrance. What I mean by that is it hides in the shadows of so many other fragrances of it's kind like many other's have said. I am glad I only got a sample of this. It opens up synthetic with citrus, woods & some coffee. 11th May, 2011. |
| | Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle by Christian DiorSometimes in life you have to ask yourself.. WHY?! This is one of those times. My experience with this particular fume was not @ all pleasant! So the packaging & the bottle are both very nice. & I must admit I did NOT have high expectations of this flanker & I am glad I didn't! This is basically Hypnotic Poison toned down of all it's glory. I personally think the orange blossom ruins it & morphs the fragrance into something totally different. That's what they were aiming for? Of course, was it ideal? Not to me. 3rd April, 2011. |
| | Aramis Cool Blend by AramisI am not a fan of aquatics & this here did not change my mind. This is another attempt to create a fresh cologne for the summer days, which indeed it is, however it is not interesting what so ever. Highly synthetic & very boring IMO! The longevity is WEAK projection is typical for scents such as this. Aramis continues to produce whack a** fragrances & therefore they do nothing for me. Save your $$$ & get something more appealing such as Bvlgari Aqua if this is your thing. 15th March, 2011. |
| | Hypnotic Poison by Christian DiorHypnotic Poison is a very well constructed & balanced perfume. It opens up with a nice bitter almond & vanilla accord which soon gives way to my nose a butter note that comes along & makes this a lil creamy. 16th January, 2011. |
| | Midnight Poison by Christian DiorEDP! Midnight Poison is a dark, seductive, sensual, creepy, yet well constructed fragrance. It has 1 of thee best openings of a frag I have smelled in a long time. I am not a fan of Roses, yet in MD it is so well blended that I do not mind it. 16th January, 2011. |
| | L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme by GuerlainI own the EDP & have tested the EDT! I much prefer the EDP! & here is why. The EDT is a nice offering from Guerlain which opens with a nice citrus burst, a tad of cocoa & woods. In the EDT version the citrus is the more dominant player. While it is nice, it does not last very long for me to get a full bottle! 4-5 hours max is what I get out of the EDT. 9th January, 2011. |
| | Gucci by Gucci Sport Pour Homme by GucciSMH @ GUCCI! SMH means shaking my head for those of you wondering.. This is w/o a shadow of a doubt another bad release from the house of Gucci. Someone mentioned that it smells similar to Versace Green Jeans & I would have to agree, & that is nothing to boast about. The fresh yet predictable scent is nothing more than a attempt to keep up with the rest of these perfume homes who are creating this sporty/fresh unoriginal scent. When was the last time the fragrance world had a fresh/sport fragrance that really set the standard for all these wanna bee's? Not impressed! 23rd December, 2010. |
| | 1 Million by Paco RabanneHmmmmm 1 million.... Well women can wear this easily without giving it a second thought thats for sure. This is the new LeMale for bars/clubbing.. & for that reason I really do not like it like I once did. This frag is rather a nice consumption of notes listed above, sweet, daring, long lasting, leaves a trail, but the problem that I have with 1 million, well it really is not with the cologne, but it is with everyone who wears it. 14th December, 2010. |
| | Gaultier² by Jean Paul GaultierI really like this fragrance, as it is simple based upon the 3 notes listed, I would also say it is complex as it gives off 2 different illusions for me. 1 is a grape note that appears throughout the fragrance. The smell reminds me of the bubble gum called Bubblelicious! ( GRAPE ) flavored.. It smells really nice as I love the smell of grape. I also get a nice boozy whisky accord that is mixed with the vanilla to create a cappuccino smell. It has GREAT longevity & it leaves a nice trail to follow. Last all day. & is sure to get you noticed regardless of people may like it or not. A nice gourmand that is perfect for clubs, bars or weekend activity. 8th December, 2010. |
| | Omnia by BulgariWhile I had been anticipating to try this frag I was let down twice. First the bottle is shall we say different, & while it is appealing the container itself is plastic. It would have been better if it were glass. Second, I am VERY dissapointed with the longevity of this scent. While it is very nice, & the white chocolate is very smooth, it is somewhat spicy & a little floral. It should be an EDT! As this does not last more than 4 hours on me. Such a waste for a nice fragrance. This gets a neutral from me, more so on the negative side due to the lack of longevity given its suppose to be an EDP! 29th November, 2010. |
| | L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme by GuerlainI own the EDP & have tested the EDT! I much prefer the EDP! & here is why. The EDT is a nice offering from Guerlain which opens with a nice citrus burst, a tad of cocoa & woods. In the EDT version the citrus is the more dominant player. While it is nice, it does not last very long for me to get a full bottle! 4-5 hours max is what I get out of the EDT. 1st November, 2010. |
| | Pure Nautica by NauticaI gave up on the house of Nautica a long time ago, this is another reason why.. So plain, so ordinary, so blah! This house has not made a frag that stood out since Nautica Competition the Original in the blue bottle & that was discontinued. Nautica is known for producing simple, bland, frags with little to no longevity. Fresh? Yes! 1 of a kind? HARDLY! 26th October, 2010. |
| | Bleu de Chanel by ChanelA rather uninspiring frag from the house of Chanel. Its really sad that this is what we have come to hope for from a house with such prestige, This is a fresh clean scent no doubt, however there is nothing in it that makes it STAND OUT above all the other fresh scents out here. If I want something fresh, honestly I will go back to an old favorite of mine Liz Claiborne Sport which cost less $$$ than this, yet does its job very well & maybe better than what Bleu is trying to do. I am by no means impressed with this. 26th October, 2010. |
| | Unforgivable Night by Sean JohnThis is another WASTE of time, $$$, & production! I really cant understand why Sean John keeps developing these less than interesting fragrances.. All these notes & I can only detect half of them, also not much staying power, but that is no surprise. This is NOT worth the price tag because there are so many better frags out here that will please you. Fans of Sean John will surely be on the wagon, I can assure you that I am NOT 1 of those hippies! 26th October, 2010. |
| | Baby Phat Seductive Goddess by Kimora Lee SimmonsMy mother likes this.. & I must say it took some time to grow on me, this is a nice frag. Strong, dense, full of darkness! & I must say I have worn this out & while I like it, I wont buy a full bottle because I dont feel its bottle worthy for ME. It does create a sexy, dark vibe thats true to seduce the right person. It is potent & I have 2 say that some women over spray on frags which causes them to STINK! You dont have to over due it to be noticed. Just because you cant smell it DOES NOT mean the person 20 ft away from you can not! 7/10 for this creation. 26th October, 2010. |
| | Monsieur Eau du Matin by Jean Paul GaultierThis is a nice scent fresh, crisp eye opening, but it lacks longevity, Well it really is a EDC & they are not meant to last long anyway. Nice EDC from Gaultier. If it had longer staying power, the masses would be much more satisfied. 26th October, 2010. |
| | Ma Dame by Jean Paul GaultierThis is a rather nice frag for summer use from the house of Jean Paul Gaultier. Its like having a tasty fruit salad out in a garden of roses during summer time, so fresh, so fruity, so nice. This is most definitely UNISEX & I will be purchasing a bottle & wearing it for spring/summer months of next year! If you fellas can get pass the fem bottle, you will be treated to something nice. 26th October, 2010. |
| | Black Suede by AvonHIDEOUS! That is the best word I can use to describe Black Suede, My best friend loves it & says it works on him. I can not stand it from top to bottom! 26th October, 2010. |
| | Pure Poison Elixir by Christian DiorI am so in love with this one! This is so much better than Pure Poison. First it is flowers no doubt, nice Jasmine which I am finding myself starting to like more & more. Maybe it is because of this frag? At any rate , Its fresh & with the added cocoa & vanilla makes it more so gourmand! A wonderful edition to the Elixr line up! This would still be catergorized as more fem than masculine in alot of mens eyes, but I say if it works for you, wear it! This has great longevity & silage! What more can you ask for? It is not for everyone, ( THANK GOODNESS ) So try before you buy! Either way the outcome should leave you intrigued. I have gotten some rather nice comments on this by both men & women who have noticed it. Beautiful bottle that I think I will keep. I normally throw them out when I am done with the frag. So Dior gets another + for this creation! 19th October, 2010. |
| | Pure Poison by Christian DiorThis for me was rather boring. Its fresh no doubt, but compared to the Elixir this is no contest! The Elixir takes this to more levels & adds a gourmand touch to it! Pure Poison is simply bland. Not bad but not bottle worthy! My least favorite of the Poisons! 19th October, 2010. |
| | Poison by Christian DiorUpdate! 11/30: I recently shared my thoughts on this fragrance & while I must admit I had no plans on purchasing this frag again, I was thinking what fragrance can I buy to wear to the dance clubs that will kill off all the A Men, Le Male, 1 Million scents that clutter the club scene?. Well thats when I thought about Poison! This loud, obnoxious beauty will surely dominate all the other scents that may try to take over the establishment. Poison will serve a purpose in my wardrobe after all as it will be my club/bar fragrance for the fall/winter! :) 17th October, 2010. (Last Edited: 1st December, 2010.) |
| | Chrome by AzzaroWhen I first sprayed this on my skin, the first association that pooped up in my head was a updated version of Ck One! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANKS! 6th October, 2010. |
| | Body Kouros by Yves Saint LaurentBody Kouros is 1 of the better modern offerings from Yves Saint Laurent, altho the majority of there frags are rather interesting & different! I get a sweet cotton candy smell at first with a hint of incense. The incense is never really strong to my nose...I get Eucalyptus, camphor, anise & incense! It is beautifully constructed with great longevity & leaves a nice trail to follow as well. When it starts to dry down, i am left with a sweet, gooey marshmellow effect with the camphor still being present! last a very long time on me which is great for an EDT! Works the best for me in fall/winter like weather! Its an 8.5/10! Kudos to the house of Yves Saint Laurent! 17th September, 2010. |
| | Black Orchid by Tom FordThis review is for Black Orchid Voile de Fleur ( EDT ) version. 8th September, 2010. (Last Edited: 24th December, 2010.) |
| | Kouros by Yves Saint LaurentCant remember if I wrote a review on this but here goes, this will be very short because there is not much to say about this. I love Yves Saint Laurent & they dont have to take a back seat to anyone, but when it comes to Kouros, this is thee 1 & only frag I HATE from this house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So disgusting & vile... Body Kouros is MUCH BETTER! Thats my opinion! This simply does not work for me & I would not suggest this to an enemy! 4th September, 2010. |
| | Flowerbomb by Viktor & RolfWhen I first smelled Flowerbomb it was a little off putting.. This & Opium are my cousins signature scents! While Flowerbomb does not smell bad, it leaves a heavy floral note to my nose. I only tested this frag on my skin once, but smell it everytime im around my cousin. It has worn on me & it smells good on her, altho its not something I would buy & wear, but I have learned to appreciate this frag for its development over time. I can see a man pulling this off. Its a neutral rating for me. Nothing more or less! 31st August, 2010. |
