Didn't grab me. I think lilies just aren't my thing - love the real flower & scent of lillies in the room but not on me. I gave up DK Gold too b/c it was just tooo much for me.

I get cedar edged with coconut and peanut butter. Dry down gives me woody vanilla edged with a note like fruit loops. It's not a bad scent but the breakfast foods parade was disconcerting.

I didn't like this at all, and I wouldn't call it Honey either. I got the EDP sample and I thought I was going to love it, I usually love anything sweet and gourmand, but as a reviewer below...

The best of the Loukhoum scents. This one smells more of hazelnut than almonds (I do not care for almond smells) and I enjoy it quite a bit for awhile, but I don't think I love it enough to wear...

Smells lovely and refreshing in the bottle, but smells chalky on me - reminds me of the smell of those candy cigarettes we used to have as kids. Doesn't seem to gel well, and the mint is a bit...

I love the smell of coffee. I would like to know why it seems I cannot get the smell of coffee in a perfume without it being backed up by patchouli. The opening is lovely - dark rich coffee with...

Smells very powdery to me, but in a good way (I love powdery scents.) I get some musk and light flowers, but mostly I get flowers. Very milky and gentle. My husband likes this one. The scent is...

This is my comfort scent, perhaps because they made things that smelled like this the incence-purified kitchen of my childhood. I get the nuts (almond/pistachio/hazelnut, a bit sharp), and the...

One of the nicest pleasant to the nose fragranes of Ava Luxe. I have tried over 20 of her scents and there are only about 4 that I rave about. This is a nice light sandalwood and I am a sandalwood...

Amazingly addictive! Just so perfect, I am 'In Love With The Smell Of Myself' in this. I can not stop smelling myself when I wear it and makes me feel so S*E*X*Y! Perfectly insensy, PERFECTLY...

I am not a huge perfumaniac, partly because I have allergies and partly because perfume is not cheap. It seems like lately so many scents are cheaply-made, overly sweet gourmand types that are...

This is lovely stuff. It's a woody floral that is reminiscent, to me, of Serge Lutens' Douce Amere. But whereas that scent was ragingly bitter wormwood on me, No. 23 has just the right proportion...

Don’t know how I can describe no 23 – it comes to me as quite sweet, and I don’t’ like sweet so much, but it has just the right sweetness for me. It is a sandalwood for sure, when I fist got the...

A refreshing incense, fresher than her Olibanum (I compare them because Olibanum and Frankincense are the same? Correct me if I’m wrong). It’s not burned incense, but have the lemony freshness of...

I received a sample of The Noir about three years ago, way back when Ava Luxe perfumes were really cheap. Since then, Serena has closed and reopened the perfumery, so I don't know if the...

I don't like lavender, so I was very surprised to fall in love with Ava Luxe's No. 23. Perhaps it's because the lavender doesn't stand out - I get the acacia and sandalwood along with the...

A decadent Skin-So-Soft. I really like the parfum oil- I prefer them over the edPs.

This, like many AL's I've tried, has a synthetic, "off" note or notes that I just can't get past. I would love to be able too, given her wonderful prices, but I can't. In this case, I went with...

I sampled both this and iPdF's Ambra del Nepal, and while they are similar, iPdF was far superior -- it lacked the sour/"cardboard" note that I found in so many AL fragrances, plus the iPdF was...

I am finding this to be a great cool-weather scent. I just bought a bottle of the edp as a gift for my mom, but now I want one for myself as well. An incredibly well-balanced blend of patch,...
