Black Musk by Montale, 2010
Reviewed by Possum-Pie

I am a fan of Montales, having Black Aoud, Dark Aoud, Cuir d'Arabie, Louban, and Red Aoud. This is a variation on the Black Aoud fragrance, minus the blast of oud, being replaced by a blast of...

Chergui by Serge Lutens Les Salons du Palais Royal Shiseido, 2001

This sweet cherry honeyed fragrance is not bad at all. Powdery vibe going on with this one. Kind of reminds me of Pure Havane minus the powdery vibe. I detect the hay which gives this a slight...

Frapin 1270 by Frapin
Reviewed by del

Frapin 1270 is a delicious gourmandish scent. The sweetness is soft, yet creamy, caramely with some nuts in the middle. Overall, it is warm, boozy, and intoxicating with a nice vanilla drydown....

Anima Dulcis by Arquiste, 2011

The love at first whiff is not so much because of the cumin (and note that to me is home-like, comforting, earthy and sensual), but more so with how it is orchestrated with iris and earthy-ambery...

Jubilation 25 by Amouage, 2007
Reviewed by Possum-Pie

This is classified as a woman's fragrance, but it falls on the line between woman and unisex. It is (in my opinion) a floral chypre with an opining of floral, salt, and a slight odor of sweat. ...

I just picked up some Kouros. It's great stuff. I'm wondering where it's been hiding all this time ...

I'm not sure how much can be said about Kouros in a forum like this, but I joined anyway because I LOVE KOUROS!
As I've said many times on the main board, my favorite time to wear Kouros is when working outside in my garden on a very hot day. The hotter the better. Seems that heat and light and sweat just turns Kouros on in way that can't be described.

I said to myself- I need a real treat for my 33rd birthday! A new fragrance perhaps? And I opted for KOUROS! Why? Well, it´s one one of the most fabulous men´s fragrances ever created: mighty, potent, long lasting, with an irresistable drydown. An opera for the nose! A must for every sophisticated man!

Good to see this group growing .
The big K made the biggest impact on me back when it first appeared .
It still impresses me to this very day , though I don't wear it as much as I used too .
May it remain the King of Controversy for eternity !

I was working on my DIY perfumery and I decided to try to make something similar to Kouros. Not an easy feat, but somehow the results were pretty good. I went about making different variations-- and one of them smelled like it could have been "Kouros Pour Femme". Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman!
