I read good reviews on some of these fragrances, so I thought I would give them a try. I received a number of samples and I'm completely underwhelmed. I have to agree with the similar base smell...

DSH perfumes are incredibly varied. There are some that work spectacularly and some that suck terribly but it all seems to depend on what your skin does with certain notes. I have not dealt with...

In general, I love DSH. Some of her fragrances, such as American Beauty, Cafe Noir and Bois Chocolate are just as fine as anything offered by niche perfumers. I prefer her American Beauty to...

Just putting my two cents' worth in to say Dawn's fragrances are very high quality and I love many of them. Obviously not all of them are winners, but she is on par with the more famous fragrance...

Dawn is a really talented "nose"/perfumer, and I really love many of her scents. I find that the scents are most always better when in eau de parfum or eau de toilette form as opposed to the oils....

I ordered 2 sampler sets of 10 scents each from her and wish to the Gods I hadn't. EVERY scent has the same noxious plasticy under-smell, which overwhelms the actual notes. Every fragrance I...
