 | Once Upon a Time pour Femme by KenzoThis is a wonderful unisex counterpart to the mens (also very unisex). Spicy, woody warmth with a blast of peony! Absolutely gorgeous! This sell like niche scent, reminds me of L'Artisan POIVRE PIQUANT. It is on sale in Debenhams as Kenzo Signature for some reason. Now at £24:50. I bought 2. This is outstanding!!!! 4th October, 2011. |
| | Bergamotto Marino by Gianfranco FerréOutstanding 'cologne' type fragrance with a little modern twist. Think of 4711 with more depth and character. It also seems to last and project like and EDT, BONUS!! Just adore the stuff. 31st August, 2011. |
| | Perry Ellis m by Perry EllisI'm very surprised at how lovely this is! At first spray I thought 'oh here we go, yet another synthetic ambery nonsense' but give it time to settle and it is really lovely. Sophisticated and sweet but not overbearing. I would describe it as an aromatic amber. 17th August, 2011. |
 | Chinatown by Bond No. 9I cannot believe this is a unisex scent! It's very rare for me to really dislike a scent but this actually made me feel really weird all day. Me no likey one little bit! Tuberose and coconut and other sickly sweet vileness. 31st May, 2011. |
| | Brooklyn by Bond No. 9I cannot believe the bad reviews for this! I ADORE it! Really different with a green start with a kick of, well something I can't quite describe. Wonderful stuff! 20th May, 2011. |
| | Jennifer Aniston / Lolavie by Jennifer AnistonSurprisingly, this is a very well done green/floral fragrance. As usual, I feel it's quite unisex but then I always do! Starts out with a burst of citrus accompanied by a hint of the green leaves of the citrus grove. As it settles a floral accord comes through but not a girly skipping in the daisies floral, a sensible restrained and rather beautiful lily/jasmine. As far as celebrity scents go, this really has the feel of real work and attention to detail. I believe Jennifer really did put a lot of effort into the creative angle of this scent, and it shows. Comes off quite natural and lasts very well. All round thumbs up from me for sure! 1st April, 2011. |
| | Boss Orange Man by Hugo BossI HATED this from the sample bottle I received and wrote it off as synthetic crap. Then I sprayed some on me in a store and it was like a totally different fragrance! Yes, no doubt it is still synthetic crap but doesn't smell that way anymore! 3rd March, 2011. (Last Edited: 6th March, 2011.) |
| | Bijan Nude for Men by BijanThis is really rather lovely! Clean, light fragrance with a hint of citrus. Nude describes it rather well! Only on first trying at the moment so will update as I wear! I was so impressed I've ordered another bottle! Well at £4:99 delivered for a 75ml tester, would be daft not to! 26th February, 2011. |
| | Cool Water Wave Woman by Davidofffresh fruit top notes of watermelon, mango, passion fruit and guava over floral mid notes of peony, freesia, and heliotrope. The scent finishes on base note of pink peppercorn, iris wood, sandalwood, amber and musk. 22nd December, 2010. |
| | Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & ArpelsThe reference to Bulgari Black are correct! Very similar but less rubbery and industrial feeling. Think of a more sophisticated mellowed out version. Much niceness! 13rd December, 2010. |
| | Deseo by Jennifer LopezThis is lovely stuff. A nice subtle tropical fruity type scent. Rather unisex but I say that about most fragrances as I really don't care what lable the marketers put on it. Citrus followed by a tropical fruit accord with a tiny touch of coconut. Really lovely and mega cheap now! The bottle is so tacky it's cool! 2nd December, 2010. |
| | Loud for Him by Tommy HilfigerLoud? LOUD?! Is TH trying to be ironic? This is one of the quietest fragrances I have ever tried! Very nicely done mind you, a little different from the norm. VERY mild patchouli and rose. Nice stuff but quiet! 18th October, 2010. (Last Edited: 2nd December, 2010.) |
| | Art Collection #08 by JacomoSPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICY!!! Starts off like mulled wine or similar to Guerlains Winter Delice. Thankfully (for my nose) the comparison does'nt last long and the spices fade into the back ground allowing the milky fruits, honey and amber to come through making this a beutiful autumn/winter fragrance. 13rd October, 2010. |
| | Womanity by Thierry MuglerThis is yet another beauty from Mugler! Very different in the opening: starts with slightly sweet, slightly salty fruity note with a tiny touch of the caviar note coming through. It gives the fragrance a hint of "ocean" to it. Not aquatic as in other aquatic fragrances, actually "oceanic", almost fishy! Sounds odd and even unpleasant but this give the fragrance an animalistic edge. This note doesn't last too long and fades into the background popping out here and there to remind you of its presence. 2nd October, 2010. (Last Edited: 18th October, 2010.) |
| | Pink Sparkle by Kylie MinogueI love this! Fizzy citrus with a tiny touch of floral. Very happy fragrance, bubbly, like the lady herself! 2nd October, 2010. |
| | Bleu de Chanel by ChanelI also cannot believe how many bad revies this fragrance has! It's WONDERFUL stuff! In short - Allure Blanche with a touch of suede in the base. Ok, there is more to it than that but I'm too tired to think! lol 25th September, 2010. |
| | L - L.A.M.B by Gwen StefaniI'm rather liking this! Has quite a similarity to Prescriptives Caylix, one of my all time faves! Fruity and zesty from a different angle. 27th August, 2010. |
| | Vétiver by CarvenI love this, one the best vetivers around! Now I'm wondering, how many bottles has this had? My first bottle looked very cheap and basic, the one I have just bought has a wooden lid and looks a bit retro. Seems to be lasting well so I'm glad it's not the new square one people seem to be complaining about! 27th August, 2010. |
| | Dalimix by Salvador DaliREFORMULATION ALERT!!! This has just been relaunced by Cofinluxe along with 2 others, a complely new Dalimix Gold (all it shares is the name to the previous one) and Dalimix Black. 27th August, 2010. |
 | Rumba by BalenciagaWow this stuff is potent! It is now made under the name of Ted Lapidus Rumba. Identical fragrance! Grant tells me it's to do with Coty buying the Balenciagia licence. Interesting! 25th August, 2010. |

| | BlueTed by Ted LapidusThis IS ExciTed. Not like it, it's the same product renamed. I bought this the other day as a tester and it has the same sticker on the bottle with note listing, exactly the same and they smell EXACTLY alike. Odd! 22nd August, 2010. |

| | The One for Men by Dolce & GabbanaHorribly synthetic. That vile fake sweet amber that makes me feel sick. Not for me! 22nd August, 2010. |
| | Showtime by Kylie MinogueI actually laughed when I smelled this, I didn't belive it possible that a fragrance could smell SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sweet! This really needs to come with a toothbrush. It's actually rather pleasent in a shower gel kinda way but my goodness, this is SWEET to the extreme!!! Like nothing I have ever smelled before! Screams strawberries with a touch of anise. Does settle down and the syrup does wear off a bit. 15th August, 2010. |
| | D&G L'Imperatrice 3 by Dolce & GabbanaI must say, I just ADORE this stuff! Ok, I like smelling like a fruity blamange! Basically that is it, fruity custardyness and I just love it! 10th August, 2010. |
| | Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez(From Fragrantica) 10th August, 2010. |
| | Inverse - Kylie Minogue for Men by Kylie MinogueOk, I know I shouldn't but I really like this! I know it must be completely synthetic but it doesn't come across that way. Yes I like Kylie too hence why I tried it in the first place. It's now £4:75, come on! It's well worth it for those days when you're doin nothing special! Better than sooooo many other "designer" scents out there at the moment, like everything from P&G. Coty closely follow but at least they try to make the scent smell natural! 3rd August, 2010. |
| | Catalyst by HalstonThis is a beautiful scent, very grassy and slightly herbal. A beautful touch of sweetness too. Very unisex and doesn't smell dated at all. Love it! It can be had for less than £5 for a 100ml EDP at the moment, a steal! 30th July, 2010. |
| | Badgley Mischka by Badgley MischkaI'm amzaed I've missed this for so long, although it is only available in the UK in Harvey Nichols. LOVE this stuff! Again it doesn't smell all that girly to me. This could be that I've been so disapointed with mens fragranaces for so long, I may just be making them fit into "unisex" in my mind so that I don't feel too girly! lol. Anyway, this stuff is beautiful. Trying the parfum at the moment (The edp is following!) as it has been reduced from £155 to £27, hell knows why. Possibly because I think EA have recently aquired the contract. Very fruity, not unlike the top of many mens frags but does have that creamyness I just adore in fragrances. The sandalwood, muskc and patchouli really "ground" what could have ended up being a light and airy "girls skipping in the park" kinda thing which seems to be everywhere at the moment. Maybe this is where I get the unisex vibe from. Anyway, I don't care I LOVE it! 29th July, 2010. |
