I recently tried and bought Roxane, and since doing some research have come to the conclusion that this company warrants a thread in it's name. They are a new company which started in 2010. They have a website which includes descriptions and notes in their perfumes.
Over on fragrantica they are getting very good reviews.
To name a few
Aromatic ~ Arno Sorel. I haven't tried this one, but it seems to be a take on Rochas Man.....and a very good one at that.
Cursus ~ Only one person has tried this, but they give it the maximum score on the "love it" graph.
Solinotes Ambre ~ Here on basenotes, member Andre Moreau says, (quote) " Since the first smell I seem to have found a REALLY great scent. A sort of incense poured over leather, with a bit ~only a bit~ of vanilla in the background. Monster longevity ~ I spent over 5 hours smelling my wrist. Heavily recommended to all people loving "dark" fragrances. Very affordable price.
Solinotes Mure ~ Andre compares this to Veuve Clicquot Champagne and says, "kudos to Arno Sorel, a very underrated maison".
Roxane ~ This seems to be a take on Chanel no 5, but the drydown is stunning, beats Chanel hands down and at the same time has qualities of the best Guerlain/Caron fonds.
Their fragrances are a bit "hit and miss". They have already produced 32 fragrances. I tested Shamon and did not like it at all. Also, some of their flacons and presentation are "painfully" cheap looking.
The bottom line is, when they get it right ~ they get it perfect.
Most people seem stunned by the incredible longevity of their fragrances.
I hope members will try their fragrances and report back !
