Beverly Hills by Gale Hayman

i remember launching this frag. in selfridges. (i worked for gale hayman) the top notes are very jasmine,also drier notes of bluebell.however,after the dry down,there is a lot of ginger and dry woods.a lovely fragrance,very under-rated.

Worth pour Homme by Worth

I really can't identify any similarity between Worth PH and Paco R. PH.If I had to make any comparison,I would say there are aspects of Worth PH that reminds me of the clean,soapy notes of Halston 1-12,or Dana - English Leather original.Either way,I have always liked this frag. even though I would not consider buying it for myself.Considering it is a good value,budget range that is long-lasting without being heavy or overbearing- what is there to dislike?

Eau Cendrée by Jacomo

Such a shame this beautiful fragrance has been discontinued and is now so hard to find,though I have seen a few bottles on Ebay but not in the original cube flacons.I used to work for Parfums Jacomo in Harrods many years ago and Eau Cendree was my personal favourite.The coriander and carnation notes were very distinct,very unusual in it's day.

Léonard Eau Fraîche by Léonard

crisp,clean,refreshing fragrance.not much different to any other citrussy eau fraiche.very similar to o de lancome,even the bottle is the same.though i prefer this to o de lancome as it lasts longer and has a more natural less chemical scent.the bath products are especially good.

Courvoisier L'Edition Impériale by Courvoisier

Why is this so expensive?
It smells like cheap deodorant,and lasts about 10 seconds.Rubbish...do not buy this.

Millennium Hope Woman by Jivago

The packaging is quite stunning,powder pink and silver.Unfold the many layers to reveal a truly beautiful crystal globe,faceted and sparkling!
I wish I could say as much about the fragrance.
What starts upon initial application as a crisp,clean fruity floral.Quickly drys down to a very boring rather insipid soapy scent.One that would delight your pre-teen neice,as the bottle is so pretty.Shame on you Ms.Jivago...and you...Olivier Stelli!!!

Tendenza for Her by Van Gils

a beautifully crisp,refreshing fragrance with soft floral dry-down.very long lasting.would be nice for summer.shower gel is especially luxurious - moisturizing and very good value.

Nature Millénaire pour Homme by Yves Rocher

this smells rather like cheap fabric conditioner.the deo. spray claims it it is "SOURCED FROM PLANTS"..- nettles ,maybe! AVOID!!!!!!

Van Gils by Van Gils

this has got to be my "lucky pants" fragrance,whenever i wear it i always get compliments.i love the woody/leathery dry down,and it lasts for ages.the body products are amazing,especially the shower gel.

Halston Z by Halston

what a shame this fragrance does not live up to its far superior namesakes.crisp and light,but fades VERY fast.
