Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Au Lait is nice, sweet, and clean. It's heralded in various online fragrance community as THE milk scent, and I do get notes of condensed milk and vanilla; on me, this is more...

This is a lovely vanilla-cream scent that stays close to the skin. It is a gourmand for sure, but it smells like a perfume, not a dessert. The vanilla is pure and woody, and the sweetness comes...

Based on an aged oil sample, I love this! Warm and cozy, like Christmas baked goods being baked for you . Vanilla, but in an aged wooden cask. And there's a musk base I find unique to DSH

Tuberose isn't even an identifiable note, nor is DSH's Winter particularly floral. It smells like a softer, warmer, more subtle Youth Dew. I'm not a 'Dude hater; sometimes I positively crave the...

I'm on my second dram of this and love it. But I also love Cardamom and the Kylphi notes are just enough for this scent to be well rounded. I don't just get the cardamom note on my skin, but...

Nope. The hunt for the best gardenia continues and this one didn't even come close. Very plasticky and artificial-smelling to me - more like a cleaning product than a flower.

Dawn Spencer Hurwitz truly captures the olfactory equivalent of the taste of chocolat with pepper. While I find peppered chocolat very decadent and yummy, I find this scent even more so. I want to...

Cimabue is a soft spicy saffron scent. I adore it. Period. I adore it and should have bought a larger bottle. I did the Smell and Tell personal consultation with Dawn this summer, which was one of...

I adore this. It is a masculine-edged herbal, but it's so fresh and crisp, woody and bright that I sniff it compulsively. Love it.

I love grapefruit scents--until they get on my skin. Then they turn sharp and weird. Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Pamplemousse is better in this regard. It's wearable, but it still turns a little sharp,...

To be honest, you have to be in the mood to smell like an upscale cleansing cream or spa steam, rather than traditionally perfumed to enjoy this.

Bought this as I'd seen the film...not to be confused with the original which is heady and very very sweet. This is heavy and the top notes of vanilla lilac and night scented stock soon merge to...

Celestial Smoke is patchouli, sandalwood, olibanum, and Egyptian musk, or those are what my nose found anyway. There might be just a touch of rose as well.
It smelled nothing like lavatory...

I really wanted to love this. My husband is from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and what's more, I'm in love with the smell of a good spicy chai. I bought it unsniffed based on the reviews - how could I go...

This rose is sweet, fresh and young smelling - like a bud that has just bloomed, where the petals are still full and silky. It opens with a fresh, watery tea note and then blooms into a garland of...
