Fragrance Reviews by fraddicted

OK, here goes! As per usual for me, I bought this one blind based on the reviews here. Tried for the first time today. Have to admit that the initial blast was very "unusual". Actually thought I had received my first "off" bottle. Left my bathroom and went to get dressed in a quandry over what I had just experienced. Walked back by my bathroom door and smelled the most wonderful "Habit Rouge" light smell and felt I might be in for a treat after all. What a difference 1 hour made! It is perfectly lovely. Rich and mellow and definitely Guerlain. Re-read some of the reviews and noticed a couple of other BNers we somewhat perplexed by the opening but were sold on the middle and dry down. Count me among them.

Thanks to all of you BNers who give such wonderful reviews, both positive and negative. It makes the "addiction" much more tolerable when you can depend on good and informed criticism

I had been wanting to add a leather fragrance to my wardrobe for some time when my physician actually "prescribed" several, Knize 10 being one of them. I purchased a 1 oz. spray "blind" and am truly pleased. It is, on me, right up there with "Mouchoir de Monsieur" and "Jicky", especially in its' drydown. Its' opening is exactly like "Tabac Blond" and I am happy to report the sillage and longevity are well above average. I applied lightly, as per a previous poster, and really enjoyed the "Knize 10" experience.

Beautiful, beautiful. The only way to describe this patchouli is "rounded". Not at all harsh but extremely smooth and soft. Sillage is excellent and it lasts very well on my skin. Since I'm in New Orleans, it is too hot and humid for this fragrance now, but is perfect for cooler and drier weather.

Think this is probably one of the most beautiful fragrances I've ever smelled right out of the bottle. Too hot and humid here in New Orleans to wear it now but will certainally be enjoying it this fall.
