| | Julia by Téo CabanelOne me Julia opens with a vibrant fruity floral and dry downs to a slightly powdery fruity sweetness with a warm note of sandalwood and musk. Lovely for a warm evening out. 1st April, 2009. (Last Edited: 15th May, 2009.) |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 1 Leaves: Lily by Comme des GarçonsOpens on a really green note; goes through a kind of orchestra-of-lilies and freesias phase before drying down to a lily-of-the-valley scent that is charming and modest. I wish it weren't quite so sweet during the dry-down and had a more lemony note to it, but still, I like it. 1st April, 2009. (Last Edited: 14th April, 2009.) |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 2 Red: Carnation by Comme des GarçonsStarts with a peppery/clove bite which mellows to a soft, delicate spicy carnation with a hint of red rose and jasmine with a undercurrent of spice to blend it all to gether. Cooling on a hot summer day or warm and comforting in winter. 1st April, 2009. (Last Edited: 15th May, 2009.) |
| | Nuit de Cellophane by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoNuit de Cellophane opens on a clean almost soapy note on me, after a while the green note merges and blends into a delicious honeyed fruity floral with a hint of musk This is an unusual Serge Lutens scents but I think for me, it will become one of my favorite summer scents. 13rd March, 2009. (Last Edited: 1st April, 2009.) |
| | La Chasse Aux Papillons by L'Artisan ParfumeurSo gorgeous in the bottlel. On my skin it didn't really evolve-- just a strong blast of jasmine and a hint of orange blossom. On me it is too sweet and cloying. 4th February, 2009. |
| | Drôle de Rose by L'Artisan ParfumeurIt starts off as a strong violet and with time turns into the most exquisite, powdery violet-rose scent wrapped in silky honey, grinded almonds and just a little bit of that sweet liquorice from the aniseed. 3rd February, 2009. |
| | Mûre et Musc by L'Artisan ParfumeurAbsolutely delicious! The berry is VERY subdued, not overly sweet with a warm musky note, but not too heavy on me. This is the type of scent that works well in any situation. The overall effect is a "clean" type of fragrance. One of my favorites. 3rd February, 2009. |
| | parfums*PARFUMS Series 3 Incense: Ouarzazate by Comme des GarçonsHot, muted incense herbal sage with a sweet spicy note running through it. Smells jut like an afternoon hike in Sedona, Arizona 7th January, 2009. (Last Edited: 11th January, 2009.) |
| | Tea for Two by L'Artisan ParfumeurThe opening of this delightful scent, smells just like clove cigarettes that were so popular in the sixties (the last century) jazz club in the Los Angeles, California area. After about an hour it dries down to a milky Chai scent that I LOVE!!!! 7th January, 2009. (Last Edited: 11th January, 2009.) |
| | Chergui by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal ShiseidoI had to LOL when I read Benjamin's review...I do the same thing especially on trying days, it makes the world a better place! I find Cherqui hypnotic, seductive, unique deeply sweet and intoxicating mellowness at the end. 30th December, 2008. |
