Poison by Christian Dior

Disgusting, strong and overbearing. In "Perfumes, The Guide", Luca Turin says that it is indeed a fragrance that "will make a night he remembers". Yeah, because he will have nearly gagged himself to death. He characterizes this as a syrupy tuberose. This could turn a person off against tuberose forever. Thank heavens it's not the first tuberose fragrance I've tried.

Dark Season by Neil Morris Fragrances

A very sexy fragrance redolent with the forest; cinnamon is distinctly noticeable. I love the base of this fragrance so much! Very dark, deep and long-lasting.

Café by Neil Morris Fragrances

A sweet coffee gourmand; I can smell hazelnut pastry notes in it. I know that's not in the notes, but that's what I smell. I like this quite a bit; much more than most coffee fragrances.

Clear by Neil Morris Fragrances

This smells like summer in a bottle. The linden is the prominent note in it. I am not aware of mint as a distinct one at all, thank heavens. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem overly woody either.

White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor

This is one of the most vile fragrances ever created. Harsh, shrill and cheap-smelling. It's for someone pretending to have money. I would rather wear Etat Libre's Secretions Magnifique and gag through the blood and bilge notes because in the drydown, it would be at least (barely) tolerable. White Diamonds isn't tolerable at any point.
