Peppery--and somehow papery--yet delicate. Makes me think of going through the belongings of a departed loved one, like tissue paper tinged with a trace of vintage perfume.

Love the tart opening and the ambery drydown. I don't care as much for the floral middle notes, but I'm not a big fan of orange blossom.

Opens with a musty bitterness, very "vintage." Middle notes are a rich, velvety floral blend. Base is amber, both spicy and sweet, but still very vintage in feel. I love all three stages, but they...

It is a lovely eastern floral incense perfume while it lasts, and that isn't long, managed only 1 hour, what a shame. It is similar to Mahjoun, which has superior lasting power, so trying a sample...

The orange makes this sweeter than other eaux de cologne I've tried. Dries down to a whisper of rosemary. As you might expect with this type of scent, not a lot of lasting power. Classic eau de...

A light, sweet green floral. Pretty without being insipid. But, as might be expected with so few heavy base notes, it doesn't have much lasting power.

A newer scent from Dawn's natural / organic line, this is a bright, pretty citrus fragrance. While fairly linear, it combines zesty lemon with a softer lemongrass, a touch of sweet spearmint, and...

A newer fragrance from Dawn's natural / organics line, this is a light scent designed to "calm sensory overload." I liked the opening notes of lemon and grapefruit a good deal, as they're airy and...

WOW!
I have recently fallen in love with musks again - I avoided them for a long time because a lot of musks have something nausiatingly repellent to me in them - it's that sweet, "clean"...

The top notes reminded me of the sticky-gooey drydown of Lipstick Rose, but the fragrance dried down (and dried out) quickly, becoming a lovely rose-heliotrope powder scent, sweet but not cloying.

State-of-the-art rose fragrance. I actually like this better than Fleur de The Rose Bulgare, since it's fuller and rounder. (FdTRB seemed a bit thin to me.) I am discovering that, though I love...

An amazing fragrance, but not what I (or apparently most other reviewers) expected. This is really a green fragrance--a wild tangle of green--with just a touch of rose. I think of it as a tribute...

Smelled lovely in the sample vial--roses with ocean air. Applied to skin, however, there was too much ocean air--a blast of iodine, just a breath of rose (and that moment of rose is why I didn't...

The Damask Rose in jojoba oil is the only rose fragrance I have experienced that truly reminds me of the bold, natural deep velvet roses blooming in the hot sun of my parents' garden. Don't let...

I received a sample of this with my order of Damask Rose moisturizing cream. It just doesn't smell harmonious; it doesn't smell like real roses to me at all. Instead, it reminds me of a strong,...

I have a hard time smelling this - I get some light white musk and vanilla, but it is very subtle. Not much staying power. Pretty but forgettable (indeed, I forgot I had it!)

I am commenting on a sample I receieved of DSH's Piment et Chocolat.
After first applying I do detect a red pepper like ancho chile or cayenne, but that fades after a few moments to more of...

Evolution is one of the fragrances I go to when I want to feel calm and centered. I love that this (for me) is a skin scent with just enough sillage to garner requests for the name of what you are...
