At first sniff I get cumin quite strong and maybe some nutmeg trying to cover up . . . no other way to say it, an awful stench of burning onions with some other odd camphor. Sounds strange and...
I had a long perfectly civil acquaintanceship with Duc de Vervins long before I elected to purchase a bottle. I tried it several times at Bergdorf's and passed on it thinking it is too strong;...
Cool, but sunny Tirrenco opens up with dry, bitter orange peel and a very stark ouzo (or, if you prefer, vodka infused with fennel bulb). There's an undercurrent of salty detritus, washed up on a...
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...
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"...
In my case it's more like having a good first impression then spending more time with them and growing tired of them. Examples would be Lolita Lempicka, 24 Gold, Fuel for Life pH, He Wood, Black Soul...
Used to like L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake. Finished one bottle, bought another one. About half-way, I got tired/sick of it, stopped using it, and sent it to my cousin who wanted to have any type of fragrance. Good riddance.

Sprayed it again the following weekend and let it dry on my wrist. Total turn around. It seemed suddenly harsh and overpowering. Complete 180 degree change of heart.
I used to love Joop Homme. Sadly now I find it to be a synthetic bomb. Boo Hoo! I still have a soft spot in my heart for the red juice.
Me too! I think I was responsible for their staying in business from 1995-2000. But the smell still evokes some of the best memories in my mind. I would never not have a little bit around. Thinking back on it, I used an embarrassing amount of the pink juice myself! haha good times.
