Alamut does not seem to have gained much popularity at MUA yet, which is sad because I find it to be an extremely lovely scent. It opens up as a sweet, perfumey aldehyde but quickly settles into a...

This is a lovely light musk from Lorenzo Villoresi. It is vaguely similar to Teint de Neige, but lacks its subtleties, in my opinion. The opening is slighly sharp on me and quite clear and woody,...

'Teint de Neige.' The colour of snow. What a magical image the name conjures up. And yet however hard I close my eyes and sniff my wrist, I cannot see or smell snowflakes in any shape or form. This...

This is one fragrance I can NOT do. Reason 1: cannot abide that camphoric, menthol-type mint note in the opening. Reason 2: Even after the aforementioned note relaxes, I can't prevent myself from...

A complex light musk from Lorenzo Villoresi. I don't smell much musk here, but baby powder, rose, caramel, and even a whisper of coconut. Overall, delightful and good enough to eat! Full bottle...

Another Villorsei favourite, starts off almost as a spilled peppershaker but sweetens up with fennel, amber and styrax.

One of the most intriguing fougere scents I have ever encountered. Bold and green, bitter opening like a pipe of mate, but gradually turns into an almost powdery sweet vanilla and amber.

Complex fragrance. Herbal and fresh at first, probably due to the lavender and vetiver. Sandalwood plays a part, but not in the starring role. At first, I wondered why people liked this so much....

What can I say about Donna? It's Italian. It's name means "woman' in Italian. It is Gina Lolabrigitta in a bottle. It is gorgeously feminine and strong. But not overbearing. IMHO Donna is...

This is a Holy Grail scent for carnation lovers. Vibrant botanical, green, lush, spicy, yet soft and subtle. Villerosi's Donna (which is an overall mille de fleur scent/mostly rose and floral...

Not terribly bad, but definitely not for me. The combination of the pepermint/menthol note with that peppery anise note is not working for me. I give it extra lippies for being different, but...

This is a terrific, aromatic scent that recalls the herbaceous sweetness or AG's Sables (although I do not think these two are similar). It starts off as a bitter, citrusy tea scent with some hay...

This is quite good. Can you imagine a scent that is green, clean and somewhat sappy, yet it is creamy and a bit sweet? Can you now imagine a late dry down that consists of a little opoponax added...

Yucky. It is supposed to be reminiscent of the Mediterranean sea being spicy and peppery, but I get a minty scent that just won't go away. I highly doubt mint is floating in the sea. Maybe in the...

I was ready to write this one off based on the odious opening, which truly would have been a mistake. After a few minutes, one of the most beautiful mysore sandalwood scents emerges. I also detect...

The beginning is sharp and medicinal, but give it some time to settle and you'll experience one of the most gorgeous lavender scents around. It gets softer, rounder, and sweeter with drydown. The...

This is SUCH a tough one for me to nail down.
Chemistry must have a hold here - because unlike the many other reviews - I get no strong tea note, nor hay, nor green. BUT, what is it?

WOW! I got a sample today and upon first application I thought it was a scrubber -- it was too soapy and sharp (and perfumey)-- I gave it a few minutes and then it worked its magic on my skin. I am...
