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...
currently spinning: The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
OMG, one of my favorites - there are so many bands that would not exist if J&MC hadn't started that sound first.
Today it's been:

I already had these three 'mixtapes' from The Weeknd, but now they've been given a full release and three 'unreleased' tracks have been added so I've been spinning these today along with all 3 album tracks, on shuffle.

I don't how I managed to not have seen that video before; pretty cool. Butthole Surfers were so rad.

Dude, totally. Much luv for Psychocandy. I'm still kicking myself for missing them when they were in Vegas. I'm sure they're just a shadow of what the used to be, but sentimentality can work magic in the thinkulator.

@ Shiny Beast
Listened to that Jesu track when very sleepy the other day, it just works brilliantly when in a state like that. It can make not nodding a bit of a task though lol.
