Venezia Uomo opens with a clean lemon and bergamot tandem before quickly adding relatively soft lavender to the mix. As the fragrance reaches its early heart phase the aromatic lavender takes...

Iris Silver Mist by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal...
Reviewed by rbaker

A nice green top note develops into a good iris scent with a hint o light wood - a bit synthetic but all right. Gone after ninety minutes on my skin. Nice while it lasts and quite unlike others.

Gentlemen Only by Givenchy, 2013

An all right citrus-vetiver freshness, counterbalanced by pepper, wood and later in the drydown some incense notes. A standard theme played out often and nothing special.

The original vintage version: Amongst the classic chypres this is a more floral one, with touches of citrus, rose and jasmine in the top notes. Woody and leather becomes more obvious in the...

I will be in Amsterdam in February, so can you recommend some perfume shops (niche houses are included).

Thanks!

Hi There!!

Doing a little research, the best place to go would be Skins Cosmetics (www.skins.nl), which carries a large selection of Niche brands such as Editions de Parfums by Frederic Malle, Creed, Diptyque, Annick Goutal, Serge Lutens and many, many more fantastic ranges!! I am sure it would be a delight to visit.

The website will provide plenty of information, but unfortunately it is all in Dutch! Another site to visit would be http://www.theninestreets.com/skins_..._boutique.html, which contains information about this boutique in English, of course making it sound like a must have place to visit. Unfortunately when I was last in Amsterdam I never had the knowledge or time to visit

In the main shopping area you will find a Boots the Chemist store, which carries a range of your usual suspects, although you will find some of the new releases by the likes of Davidoff and Gaultier being released at this time.

I do not know how you are travelling to Amsterdam, but if you travel by PLane to Amsterdam, I must recommend the Duty Free shopping experience, whre you will find many fantastic fragrances, and special limited edition versions of fragrances you will only find in select airports. Well worth checking in early for!

I hope that you enjoy your trip and dont spend your whole trip in Skins Cosmetics!!

Best Regards,

Lee
