Reviewed by onaluna

Reviewed by Alexey

Last year I purchased "4711 - Melissa & Verbena" and was mind blown about the freshness and how long it would last. Last week I saw the whole range of 4711 on sale and immediately wanted to buy...

Harrods Oud Patchouli by Bond No. 9, 2012
Reviewed by mlsweeney

I enjoyed this fragrance because it is very unique and has amazing performance. Something I've never noticed in a fragrance that I do with this one is there are a couple of notes that "fight"...

Artek Standard by Comme des Garçons, 2009
Reviewed by Bufshuf

This was a blind buy when I was looking for a wood scent, primarily for winter wear. I was taken a little buy surprised by the powerful blast of lemon at the outset. That transitions nicely to...

Bois Du Portugal by Creed, 1987
Reviewed by noirdrakkar

An older classic, that is very wearable compared to most fragrances before 1990 (if you can wear YSL Rive Gauche, you can wear this), but still seems a bit dated, and I'm not sure people under 30...

I have planned a trip to Europe over the Christmas holiday this year, will be spending most of my time in Germany. Now the question is, what one bottle do I take?

Tough question, since, like above, I see no wardrobe. Also, don't know the weather in Germany too well. I know that Spain is mostly rainy, and almost like the equivalant of our American spring during December. So, who knows? Burberry, YSL, etc. etc.

That is odd that my wardrobe is not showing, I just checked and I DO NOT have it set to private. Odd, but then again I have been unable to visit the site since posting this update. Rather than viewing my wardrobe, do as easyfish did and just suggest anything!
