| Néroli by Annick GoutalI love this scent! I have a special affection for the bitter leaves and the orange blossoms, and both elements are present here. To make it last longer, I spray it on clothing. I find the scent very uplifting and feminine. I believe the bottle I have is from last year; I intend to purchase one from 2007 to compare. Other Goutals I enjoy: Le Jasmin, Mandragore, Eau de Fier 14 July, 2007 |
| Jasmin et Cigarette by Etat Libre d'OrangeI got ashtrays full of stubbed-out cigarettes from this one, so I didn't pursue it any further. 02 June, 2007 |

| Eloge du Traitre by Etat Libre d'OrangeAh, the life of a spy carrying precious information through a cold forest filled with leafless trees. You can smell the dried woods and herbs and the rare comfort of a crackling fire in a temporary place of shelter, with perhaps a tinge of burned documents. This scent inspires me, I love it! 02 June, 2007 |

| Vierges & Toreros by Etat Libre d'OrangeI get a wonderful duality here, a blend of traditionally feminine and masculine notes, and it works beautifully. Though if you are looking for the passion, seduction or hero worship implied by the title, it's not here. A pleasant scent with a clever title. 02 June, 2007 |
| Gucci Pour Homme II by GucciOn me, this scent was linear black tea with some faint woodsy/smoky accents. I think this could be a fabulous creation if the woods and herbs were made stronger. The black tea (lapsang souchong?) is a good start, but it is missing complexity and depth. A pale cousin of Gucci Pour Homme I. 02 June, 2007 |

| Virgin Island Water by CreedIt started off with a pleasant burst of lime, lasting for almost an hour, then close to the skin I could smell a blend of coconut and woods for the next few hours. It's a very quiet scent on me, something I would use on a warm day or night when the glacial blasts of Slatkin Absinthe or Guerlain Mentafolia would be too much. I wish this had more sillage, like MPG Bahaiana, because the coconut part is really intriguing. I can easily see this being worn by any age or gender. 31st May, 2007 |

| Gucci pour Homme by GucciThis is a warm, comforting, woodsy/ambery blend that smells fantastic on women as well! My favorite winter scent. 25 May, 2007 |

| La Chasse Aux Papillons Extrême by L'Artisan ParfumeurI agree with Silkandsteel - this is a bright, vibrant spring floral that is unlike any other. I get wafts of hyancinth when I wear this, and the lasting power is superb. Happy and feminine. I much prefer this over the non-extreme version. 03 February, 2007 |

| Fair Verona by Strange Invisible PerfumesThe most lasting, rich neroli scent I've found yet, with interesting accents added by the other notes in the blend. Very feminine and pretty, a wonderful scent for day, although for the price ($185 a bottle) you will want to save it for special occasions. It has more presence than Le Labo Neroli 36. 28 January, 2007 |

| Black Rosette by Strange Invisible PerfumesA soothing scent that to me is all tea, smoke and leather, with a wisp of rose popping up now and then. I would definitely consider this a unisex scent. I am in the process of saving up up to buy a bottle, as I find there is a real difference in using perfume made with natural ingredients. From the notes, you would think Bulagari Black is a close match, but that scent is all rubber tires on me. Black Rosette is the way you might smell after spending all night in a tea house somewhere in Central Asis. 28 January, 2007 |

| Fendi Uomo by FendiSpicy, complex and wonderful! 11th November, 2006 |

| Angel Schlesser by Angel SchlesserThis is a close to the skin, quiet and spicy scent, unlike anything else out there. I would consider it for men or women. In terms of an incense scent, it is a few steps below Monk in intensity. A pleasant discovery. 09 November, 2006 |
|
| Lavandula by Penhaligon'sI get the fresh, intense scent of true lavender and not a hybrid from this scent. It is uplifting and calming at the same time. This scent should be unisex, there's nothing particularly feminine about it. 04 November, 2006 |

| Djin by Michael StorerWow! Spicy, heady stuff, especially that first spray. Not for the timid. The dry down lowers the volume by a notch or two so you can smell the different notes. There's something sweet in there but this is not a sweet scent overall. Love the bottle design and the color of the juice (purple). Like all of Storer's scents I believe they will work on women as well as men. Even though it's not for me, I do consider it a well-crafted scent. I prefer Monk's calm but steady presence to Djin's more excited demeanor. 03 November, 2006 |

| parfums*PARFUMS Series 2 Red: Palisander by Comme des GarçonsThis is wood at its most sublime, with a hint of spice and sweetness. Could be worn by either men or women. Sequoia is a very pleasant wood, but Palisander has an extra depth and excitement. 18 October, 2006 |
