Terre D'Hermès by Hermès, 2006
Reviewed by nyguy

I've tried this many times, I never understood why it stands out or sells so much. That bitter orange is repulsive and disgusting. This smells almost as bad as Guerlains Vetiver.

I don't like to factor in cost when reviewing a fragrance but for the ridiculously cheap price, this stuff is great! Smells similar to Armani Code but better. Might buy another bottle

TVlampboy declared Or des Indes as the elegant richer sister of Bal a Versailles,( but not the older) This is repeated by other enthusiasts on on other blogs. It is spot on. Bal is Zsa Zsa and Or...

Eau De Kananga by Rigaud

Let me first say that Eau de Kananga is a brilliant but not mind-blowing scent. Eau de Kananga, at least the Rigaud version, is not a feminine fragrance and in reality a unisex if not exclusively...

Garofano by Santa Maria Novella, 1828
Reviewed by bokaba

SMN Garofano is a realistic and beautifully orchestrated carnation perfume. It is strong, spicy, and heady with floral overtones. Garofano is spicy, but not as spicy as Caron's Coup de Fouet. It...

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY encourage you guys to wear it. It's HOT. Seriously. I really want there to be more men that wear this. Thanks for your consideration.

It's supposedly unisex, but I'm afraid it's too urbane and masculine for me right now. :/ C'est la vie.

I quite like it...but I prefer 53. I find 71 a bit "soapy", and 53 more floral (apparently 50% hedione).

I wish the bottles were more accessible too...the large bottle is too big, and the small bottles are just too expensive. rant rant.

I like Odeur 71; on me, though, it isn't soapy; it starts out smelling like mowed grass, and then moves more towards copier toner. I like the copier toner.

I want to try Odeur 53; I can't smell anything from it on paper and haven't tried it on my skin yet.
