This is a very interesting leather scent. It begins fresh, almost soapy, with a kick of bergamot and citrus. Then a warm, dry leather emerges. As it dries down, it becomes spicier and is softened...

This was an extremely strong smelling perfume. It reminded me of church, but was a little soapy smelling. I like the drydown the best. I wouldn't wear this perfume, but I think it still smells...

I thought this was a very powdery sandlewood and light. I'm glad I only bought a sample.

This is a very heavy incensey rose perfume. I would also say this is a tea rose type perfume with a hint of mint. I wanted to like this but it didn't work on me.

French Lipstick No. 1 (aka Violet Vixen) is an excellent dupe of FM's Lipstick Rose, an innocent-yet-sexy violet-rose fragrance with aldehydic and powdery nuances. It's really quite lovely and I...

What I like about this is the powdery dry down. How could I not, however I have had too much of Loukhoum-y fragrances lately so this one simply isn't the right fit for the Maximina of 2007. Too...

Lovely Chai tea; fresh as a daisy! All the spices.. clove, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, pepper; all just crushed and emitting their lovely aroma. It softens quickly and in a very delicious way. Not...

This one hasn't gotten terribly high ratings overall, but I'm going to help bump it up a little. ;)
On me, Amande Delicat is pleasant enough, although not really my thing. On my daughter, however,...

On the one hand I have Vintage Nuit de Noel Parfum, on the other DSH's dupe. This dupe starts out smelling pretty nice and close enough to the real thing-- although not right on the dot (the real...

I have Lush's "Honey I Washed the Kids" soap, and while this might not be an exact match, I would say it has a family resemblance. I really like this fragrance. It reacts well with my chemistry...

This is a great buttery sweet creamy vanilla. I liked Burnt Sugar Vanilla initially but it had a waxy drydown. So far this does not. It's comforting and can be layered with other gourmand...

Waxy dry-down, unfortunately. It smelled great going on but on me I get a candle smell after the oil dries. I prefer Jill Stuart's Vanilla Lust to this.

An incredibly accurate rendtion of broomstraw. It's straw that's a little dirty and slightly animalic, like smelling actual bales of hay in a barn, or inhaling the scent of a freshly groomed...

Parfum de Luxe is a deep, dusty tobacco -- very similar in feel to the dusty opoponax in Carthusia La Ligea Sirena. It's perhaps not nearly close enough to the scent of pipe tobacco for my liking,...
