    Calandre by Paco Rabanne

    Love the gorgeous opening of roses, the white ones. So fresh and seem to
    drenched with early morning dew.
    Beautiful combination the sweet lush scent of delicate roses with crisp green leaves. Very modern and easy to wear. I think it's one of the best green-floral I’ve ever tried. (Thank you, Aiona :) )

    Acier Aluminium by Creed

    First I thought it was too early to write my review for Acier Aluminium, this is my first time trying it. I should give it a few chances, right? Wrong! I don't think I will ever want to smell it again. Too powerful, too powdery, like a kind of smell you get when you're on a overcrowded public bus, the air is stuffy, everybody is sweating and the person closest to you is reeking the smell of cheap-perfumed body talcum, yuck! Sickly sweet and cloying smell lingers in my nose forever after I washed it off. And I don't surprise to learned that many people associate AA with clean toilet smell. Oh, another thing came to my mind was the towelette you get after finished a meal in the Chinese restaurant, heavily perfumed, enough to mask the food odor.

    Aramis Always Him by Aramis

    One of my favorite summer scents. (It's always summer here!)
    This one has the best lime opening I've found so far, and I LOVE lime.
    Aramis Always Him gives a blissful vibe of cool breeze on a beautiful sunny day.
    The lime, ginger and mint are there for a good reason. I love that it stays fresh and sparkling from the beginning till the end. Straight forward & sheer, there is nothing complicated about this scent. I love it.

    Vanille Mokha / Vanille Café by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

    To me, Vanille Mokha is my favorite among CSP's vanilla line. It smells very yummy. The creamy-sweetness of vanilla together with devine aroma of coffee, I'm in heaven! I'd always on the fence with vanilla note, never a big fan for gourmand scent but this one sound too good to pass so I bought it. Just adore this gem! Such a mood lifter for me. And I found the staying power is good too.(comparing to Amour de Cacao.)

    Barbier des Isles by Comptoir Sud Pacifique

    Before I try it I thought it would be a light, fresh a little spicy woody-aromatic scent, judged by its notes. I'm fooled! This one is so thick and heavy and dull you almost can cut it with a knife! Where is the orange, where is my favorite bergamot? all I can smell was incense and some burnt spices. Oh and a hint of vetiver too but in this case it did not help freshen up this fragrance. I have never found CSP's scent I don't like but this is the one! I don't think I will try it again at least not in the near future. Disappointed!

    Burberry for Women by Burberry

    Another headache inducing fragrance for me. It seem to be a popular choice around here in Asia, so I give it a try. Bad pick for a Sunday night testing as I gotta work tomorrow and right now I feel so dizzy. The opening of heady, sickly sweet notes hit me like a ton of bricks. Then comes something green and bitter, so bitter I still can feel it in my mouth. I don't recall if I have smelled this on a person. It's just not for me.

    Zen (new) by Shiseido

    I just tried this the other day. Without knowing what are in it, I just love the opening combination of juicy fruit. And it'won't take long until I can smell white musk and incense.

    I'm not very good in discribing the note-thing. But I agree with you, Scentsitivity, that this one is a "decent fragrance for a lady"

    Aqua Allegoria Orange Magnifica by Guerlain

    I too like it enough to take it home, but really don't know why I didn't like it that much anymore. Guess the orange smell too artificial to my nose.
    I still can wear it thou.

    Dune by Christian Dior

    This is one of fews scent I bought the new one before the current bottle is finished. Its woody-sweet scent remind me of the warm sunny day at the weekend market. Spicy and sophisticated. Definitely a sexy scent!

    Maybe Baby by Benefit

    I fell in love with "Body So Fine" balm since the first time I put in on my skin and been hoping for a fragrance that can give me exactly same feel. This is a lovely scent that can go with you day and night, even in the dream.
