Not going to wax poetic because others have done it here far better. I just like it, that's all. It's one of those scents I keep coming back to and loving every darn time. But then I love...

Spritzed this on as the end of a long afternoon of spritzing other things, not really expecting much. Well waddaya know? Very, very nice. Not earth-shatteringly interesting, but a very nice green...

My first thought when I smelled CdG's Luxe Champaca was “Ooh, wow! This is beautiful!” And it is. It smells exactly like a lush, juicy, tropical white flower and is miles away from CdG’s usual...

I've recently begun exploring Comme des Garcons' incense line and have been impressed with their mastery of this genre. So, I was pretty jazzed about trying a sample "Monocle One Hinoki" (whatever...

At first blush, I thought Comme des Garcons's Vettiveru was a strong contender for becoming my favorite vetiver. Its warm yet delicate vetiver beauty has a wonderful overlay of floral notes which...

Vettiveru is about the most perfect rendition of vetiver I have ever smelled. I love vetiver in many forms, but this is an extremely crisp vetiver with no citrus getting in the way of its fresh...

This fragrance is a definite winner for me! I bought this and Avignon unsniffed and for once, I feel vindicated since I love them both. While they are similar, Kyoto is more smokey and dark than...

Guerrilla 2 is a quirky little fragrance that I liked right off the bat but then, I tend to enjoy off-beat perfumes such as Escentric Molecules Escentric 01 and CdG Peppermint. It is hard to say...

Hmm, I like this - it's very nice. Not - oh my goodness, I have to have this now let me go order this - but nice. I consider this a soapy fragrance - very fresh and clean (like a cross between...

This gets a "4" because I admire the artistry. When it gets past the topnotes--and who knows? I may be in the base by now--this does fit my mental image of what gold smells like. I am amazed. ...

Definitely not catholic so I can't speak about any evocation whatsoever. i sometimes like incense as in passage d'enfer and dzhonka. i put on a dab before yoga class, after a warm bath in which i'd...

I'm a spice lover, especially deep cinnamon. Cinnamon Sherbet goes on cool and delicately for summer, but the cinnamon I had been looking forward to is diluted...just a light waft, if that. ...

I've never smelled Champaca before (at least not that I know of). This has a delightful floral, very earthy scent that is a little more perfumy than I normally liket. It reminds me a little of FM...

I agree, this IS the perfect summer fragrance! Quite herbal/grassy and natural peppermint, not candycanesweet peppermint.
Lovely and long-lasting on me. So refreshing for a hot day, or anytime...
