I do not like my figs with tea.
I do not like it in a tree.<p>
I do not like it mixed with musk.

I had a hard time getting this perfume, as it's not sold here in Norway...At first, I really liked it, but after a while, I had to stop using it, since I discovered it gave me a headache, and a...

What a gorgeous scent! A fruity floriental that changes with each minute, it seems. A masterpiece for sure. A perfect balance of sweet, creamy and incensy sensations. As a sidenote, DSH makes its...

A sweet, slightly soapy fragrance accented with hints of delicate, pithy lily of the valley. Thanks to its white-musk base, this is one of the rare LOTV scents that does not come off as overly...

My overall impression of Fig Tea is that it's clean, bitter, and not too interesting. With an unusually fresh zinger of an opening, it quickly becomes a cup of cooled herbal tea with a touch of...

Along with having a clean and crisp character, lily of the valley scents often have a soapy quality that I dislike. Solution: Eclipse by talented perfumer Nicolai. This one lacks the soapy traits...

The best part of Odalisque is the very fresh and heady top. I have never encountered a lily quite like it. The closest way I can describe it is as an uncharacteristically creamy lily of the valley....

Balkis is a sophisticated sweet fragrance. Opening with a raspberry note that has the concentrated sweetness of a liqueur, after 1 hour, it manages to sustain this intense sweetness. Hours later,...

A thoroughly delightful and cheerful scent, Rose Pivoine is yet another rose fragrance that makes me smile. Pink peonies playfully encircle dew-kissed roses that shine with youth. A flash of citrus...

Gorgeous, stunning, and undeniably a Patricia de Nicolai. This is very similar in tone to FM's Lipstick Rose, although more smoothe and refined to my nose. I get the sweetness of sun ripened...

This starts out with a pretty strong blast of citrus. But very shortly, the citrus blends with more of a musk note, and the overall effect is a citrus/musk/clean scent. It's sexy but in an...

Grande Vacances is similar to Parfums de Nicolai Eau d'Ete, but it has a more clear lime note and is without the muskier base. It is a neat, clean citrus that is very refreshing as a light cologne....

The way Eau d'Ete goes from a distinctly cool citrus to a warm second skin scent is seamless. It opens with a burst of refreshing orange sweetened by a twist of lime and sparkling grapefruit. I...

With first spray, it's as if you've squeezed the juices of grapefruit and lemon rinds onto your skin. I now realize that it's not so much lemon-dominated citruses that offend me, but certain...

Juste Un Reve is stunning and dreamy. It sends me into a reverie and I close my eyes spellbound. I detect how the velvety rose and barely there jasmine flirt with a running note of creamy monoi,...

Number One is a winner -- a seamlessly blended white floral. This is so well-done that it makes me wonder if Patricia de Nicolai aimed to win a contest. I'm not being cheeky (okay, so I am a...
