I am a huge fan of Dior's Dolce Vita, which I believe is close to the Shiseido version of Feminite du Bois. A friend gave me this one and I've been wearing it a lot. It just appeals to me. It is...

Edit: in the dead of winter, on my skin chemistry, Piguet Bandit seems to resemble Myrrh. A little Myrrh goes a long way. . But, no one else seemed to think this resembled Piguet Bandit, so...

De Profundis opens with the scent of big, lively chrysanthemums, in the fall -brisk, slightly spicy and musty. Delicate, dewy violets and damp loamy earth follow shortly thereafter, along with a...

Exciting opening of fruity gardenia, adds face powder, fades into gentle white floral. It is still there vaguely the next morning. The opening is very different-- and then the addition of not...

I bought this because someone had recommended this to me as a "jammy" rose and for the first 15 seconds, it is great. But then the pepper kicks in and completely overwhelms the rose. It just smells...

Wow, this is an amazing fragrance! I'm not sure why I waited so long to try a sample of Fille en Aiguilles, I suppose I was expecting a very green pine needle scent. Don't get me wrong, I love...

This is my first Serge Lutens fragrance, and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I love soliflores, because there is nothing like the smells of nature and I absolutely love flowers and their scents....

Mauve the swann: It looks like "ok, yes, I'm dead, now go die yourself". Not only the colour, the texture this gave to my lips reads death as well.

Mmmmm this is so divine. I adore this one. On me it is all sweet warm tobacco with a hint of honey....rich amber, a bit of powdery iris, a mixing of incense and hay and a teeny bit of Sandalwood....
