Just received a sample from TPC. I love leather/dark scents, but this is EXACTLY like a stable on me. Straw and horse muck. A pleasant smell, but not what I want to carry around with me. After 10...

I'm having a bit of trouble finding the words for Parfum Sacre.

Thisbe gave us the notes already and I will not duplicate that. First and foremost, I am a violet lover and adore it in all of its incarnations. This is not a lady-like violet. This is coarser,...

I have just tried the pure parfum form of this fragrance, and what a revelation it is! This is a beautiful, creamy white muguet. Now I'm finally picking up the lilac, which I didn't in the EdP. It...

Once again I purchased unsniffed based on MUA reviews. I wore Fleur de Rocailles about 20 years ago and loved it. Then I wore Tocca which to my nose was similar and then simply lost interest since...

Several MUAers have already written such lovely reviews of Farnesiana, but I would like to add my two cents. This is a warm, golden embrace of a perfume. To me, the cassie flower has a somewhat...

N'Aimez Que Moi - Love only me! - this perfume whispers in my ear. How could I say no? This is one of those perfumes that feels as if it had been designed just for me, nearly 70 years before I was...

Actually I would give this one a 3.5.
It's quite unique for an orange blossom scent, in that it has a bit of edge, unlike most orange blossom fragrances. It has some spice to it, and I believe a...
