Reviewed by alfarom

I'm a huge fan of this line but By Night Black is probably the most disappointing delivery among their range. I'm used to either their thickness (Ambra Mediterranea, Versilia Platinum, Versilia...

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.

Avant Garde by Lanvin, 2011
Reviewed by nyguy

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

He doesn't go over the notes. He tells you whether people will hate it, and if girls will like it. Nice.

Brandon (CutlassSupreme) does a great job. And I agree that his reviews are perfect for "normal" people who want to know what it smells like. He cuts through the bull.

I like him as well. His reviews are "casual", but plenty informative.

As a fragrance connoisseur, I actually *like* the "bull." As for normal, most BNers don't have a normal interest in fragrance...that is why we are BNers...

Fun to watch, but as with wine reviews, you can get someone to say, "Hey, I'd buy a bottle of this red wine. Cheap and can be bought by the case. My family loves it." This will not mention, the colour, the vineyard, the vintage or anything else. Ditto for cigars.
