Fille en Aiguilles smells so unexpected. Based on the millions (I have been researching this for months!) of reviews I have read, I was expecting a dry, far more masculine scent. When I received my...

I have the travel flask of this from Serge Lutens, a format I really do not like. Since I also have Fourreau Noire (I regret my FN purchase altogether as it is throat choking,y powdery) in this...

I confess that I was not aware that perfumes could be made from chysanthanums. I am a dabber, not a sprayer, and I can smell a faint spicy, unsweetened intriguing warm scent that almost vanishes...

Edit: two years later, I’ve retested in the depths of winter and its a bit less sweet. Cool, smooth, strongly scented, leathery jasmine. A hint of sweetness (which references the grape below). I...

Agree with Mysterious_scent and zeynepad below. Spicy celery. Followed by watery orange. However, not as bad as my one star rated Avon Extraordinary and SL Bois Sepia. I also prefer this to SL...

I don't understand the negative reviews on L'orpheline. I find it extremely easy to wear and quite similar to Feminité du Bois. It is woody, incensy and weirdly enough reminds me of the color...

I love iris, hyacinth and galbanum (I adore Chamade, no 19, FM iris poudre, iris silver mist), so I should love Bas de Soie, but I don't. Part of it is that I don't sense that the florals were...

Edit: took another sniff from my sample and all I get is animalic MKK. Somewhat off putting, so I’ll retest on skin another day.

Sparkling, fougere whose initial fleeting sharpness is smoothed out by cedar, vanilla, Amber, musk and a SL dry down. Somewhat powdery dry down which is not to my taste.

For those who don't love white florals, this could be toxic in the brash Jasmine opening that slightly Sears the nose. Fortunately it winds down quickly into a dry down that also hints very lightly...

Cool toned, soapy geranium carnation with a sweet dry down. Not dusky or spice laden. I have a fondness for the spicy carnation accord, but since I have a full bottle of Lorenzo Villarossi...
