La Nuit by Paco Rabanne, 1985
Reviewed by rbaker

For the vintage Eau de Parfum: An initial blast of citrus-with-herbs sets a fresh tone, but soon a dark, brooding rose appears, adding a harsh-floral note that is later amplified by a top-quality...

L.12.12 Noir / Black by Lacoste, 2013

Not bad at all. It has retained the bits of prior versions and yet there is this distinctive smell that reminds me of Denim Black aftershave. There's the catch, very retro scent but also somehow...

I am seeing a lot of "orange" scent comments, but to me, I smell a lot of Iris scent in it?

It actually starts off with a boozy, almost rum-like scent as you put it on. But that dries down to the most austere leather-and-smoky-vetiver I have ever smelled. I would swear there's a note of...

Love this scent! Great for summer, better for day, but good for night as well. I’ve worn it for 10 years and never had it go bad. I would say it is more masculine, clean and almost classic. I...

She an independant perfumer--Dawn Spencer Hurwitz. She has a web site www.dshperfumes.com and some of her things are sold at the Hampton Court perfume site as well. I gather she uses the best quality materials, and her stuff is priced high. She's got a 25% off sale going on at her site now. Sooooo.....how can I resist???

First of all, Dawn is a real sweetie. If you can get her on the phone she loves to talk about her work and in the past she's even tweaked blends for customers one way or another. All that being said, I just can't seem to wear her stuff very well. She's creative and all, but all her oil blends end up smelling the same on me. I know she said she wears Chypres best and maybe if you can wear Chypres you have better luck with her blends. She does have a very loyal following though, so obviously others can wear her fragrances without issues.
