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...

My worst ever scrubber was Versace Blonde, a vase of rotting tuberose on me. Must be so fabulous on those it suits. My skin loathes tuberose. It was so horrible that i've never forgotten nor tried again to check.
Pure Malt. I know it's loved by many, but it was just way way too sweet to my nose. Actually began to make me feel a bit sick. Once it started to drydown it began to go sour and I was getting what smelled like vomit or bile or something...scrub, scrub, scrub...
