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...
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...
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 had planned all week to wear my new Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin on casual Friday, but I wore a brown shirt and decided on the smooth mocha-vanilla goodness of Rochas Man.

Off to ScentMother's house for dinner tonight and for the occasion I am wearing:
Comme Des Garcons H&M
If there is one thing CdG know how to do and do very well it is incense. This is anopther winner of an incense from them without treading over old ground. The top of this is full on cedar which gives way really quickly to a sweet incense middle before transitioning to the less sweet church incense in the base. This is a straight forward progression executed flawlessly. It reminds me of when I used to burn incense cones in my misspent youth and there would be a little piece of one left when I placed another new cone in the bowl, and there would be this wonderful co-mingling of different incenses. I'm getting the same feeling on my skin from this one. Really, really nice. I think this would be a mass-market winner for CdG if they sold it at this price at every H&M.
A very nice review! I remember after having test-sprayed, I walked out of H&M and walked about a half-block, smelled my wrist, and returned and bought a whole bottle. A well made scent IMO.
Habit Rouge L'Extrait. Each time I wear it, I notice how ... different it is. No "animalic thickness", but a strong, deep woody-resinous scent pumping slowly up from the arm. A propos woody: Gonna watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona tonight - as usual, a new Woody-film feels like a new Guerlain release
like the good man himself, dimitri, i am too wearing the amazing chanel allure, getting ready to get my bottle of edition blanche tommorow! that time has come, cant wait for this stuff.
Went out for dinner and drinks downtown last night. My newly arrived bottle of Five O'Clock au Gingembre was the perfect scent. I love it even more out of the bottle than I had remembered.
