Fragrance Reviews by roland

Very nice fragrance with alot of sillage and excellent longevity.This isn't one of those sweet or aquatic fragrances which are a dime a dozen these days.In fact it is unlike anything out there to my knowledge,hence is quite original I think.Highly recommend.

I readily agree with vialman,Dia is top shelf.It is an oriental that is second to none.I think it exudes class.There is a hint of Ylang Ylang and subtle powder notes to this fragrance which I find superb.Very well crafted scent.I can't wait to try the other Amouage creations as this is the only one I have hitherto tried.It is now in my top 5.

I really love Egoiste.I don't quite understand what people find medicinal about it.It is one of the few sweet scents I like.I don't think this is overtly feminine like Jaipur,Rochas man,et al.This is the only Chanel that I would buy not that the other scents,for instance,Anteus,Pour Monsieur aren't good.It is like Envy to the extent that it is a heavier romantic scent that few dislike.I don't see how anyone could not like it.It smells delicious.I only wished the lemon was toned down a bit.Very minor complaint.Highly recommend.

Eau Sauvage is a sparkling citrus that has become a classic.Wonderful grapefruit.However it has serious longevity issues and virtually no sillage.Hence,I recommend a more modern interpretation of this,Boucheron pour homme.

I have been wearing Z-14 now for over 10 years.I love it.I have read it has pimento berries as one its central notes.Perhaps this is what I smell along with the tobacco and citrus.It is a complex,dark masterpiece and is decidedly masculine.If you exclusively like sugar bombs like Hanae Mori and L'Instant then this probably isn't the juice for you.Speaking for myself,however,this is in my top ten and my wardrobe will never be without it.

I've always considered Aramis elixir in a bottle.That is how wonderful it is.It is my favorite and has been ever since I experienced it 20 years ago.I was just smitten then and I still am today.It really has a dominant Juniper berry accord to my nose.I am baffled how many extremely knowledgeable Basenoters will totally diss this masterpiece and then turn around and praise the virtues of A*men or Bulgari Black.This juice is second to none!!
