I just can't handle this one. For me the camphor/bug spray/cleaning solvent smell is overpowering - from in the bottle thru to the longest I could keep it on, about 1.5 hours. Then I just had to...

On me, this is roses. Pure, unadulterated rose. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember scented toilet paper (pink or mint green) and this is EXACTLY what it smelled like! The first time I...

I cannot tell you how much I am in love with this fragrance. It has rocketed to the top of my list and I feel, as cclayten said, very sexy wrapped up in it. Except for the identifiable rose,...

I ordered this unsniffed during the Montale frenzy. I couldn't pass up a sale like that, but had never tried any of them, so took a shot in the dark based on the notes and. . . . . .it's...

Dear lawd... my eyes and nose are running, the cats are cowering in the corner - could this be the strongest perfume ever created? I have to say that I am not noticing amber here at all. The oud is...

I like this scent a lot, but today I was told that I smell like baby powder while wearing it. How am I supposed to feel about that? I thought adjectives like delicious or even charming and edible...

Very astringent and sharp and unattractive upon intial application but mellows after a minute or two to a dry, grassy amber with a slightly smoky, incensey quality (probably from the vetiver and...

A bright, sparkling rose with lots of musk and something spicy or "oriental" in the base that I can't quite identify. A nice alternative to the darker roses from Montale, but with just as much...

At first spritz it was all rose powder and baby oil smelling on me and my heart dropped, but then -elation!- it morphed into this earthy warm vanilla nutty rose. I feel very sexy wrapped up in...

This is Serendipitous' big, sexy, refined sister. This is the older sister. This sister got into a good school before her parents filed for bankruptcy. She took riding lessons, ballet, and some...

This is overly sweet and cloying. I have high expectation for this, as I love gardenia and Tahitian gardenia mixed with coconut and vanilla sounds very yummy. But the rose note in this is...

A very good amber, one of the best. Starts off a bit masculine, woody, smoky amber but the dry down is wonderful, smooth amber and lots of vanilla. Funny enough, but I don't get any detectable...

After a full-on medicinal blast (aoud), White Aoud becomes a woodsy, vanilla rose (un bois vanille meets fleur de rose..). I have a tendency to like dirty roses on my skin, but to be honest I...

Sweet Oriental Dream -- first, you can't judge this until it's on your skin. In the bottle, it's pure cherry tobacco. I almost didn't get it because I really do NOT like pipe tobacco. However,...

This is a classic Montale, in many ways, but still, surprising. Its closest relative is a Montale that's still pretty much only sold in Paris as far as I know: Bois Vanille.

When I first sampled this, I thought it was way too much of a big floral for my taste, but now I find myself craving it at the end of the day. It's jasmine blended, I believe, with orange blossom...

I had high hopes for this, as I love almond notes, but as others have noted, the almond is really "off"--the reviewer below who said burnt plastic is right on, imo. It's sweet burnt plastic--blech!

I am a huge fan of Sweet Oriental Dream. Major delicious. That said - there are some occasions where I find it suffocating and heavy. I haven't figured out what triggers that reaction quite yet....
