I have a strange, on-again, off-again relationship with Aimez-Moi, but because when I love it I REALLY love it, I'm giving it 5 lippies. I guess the thing is that when I haven't worn Aimez-Moi in a...

I recently found a vintage bottle of Farnesiana because in the face of Caron reformulations I wanted to know what the original was like. If Farnesiana is less gourmand and sweet than it was three...

I've been a violet fanatic since childhood, and Violette Precieuse is maybe my favorite violet fragrance of all time. It lacks the powdery sweetness of many (if not most) violets- instead it is...

Absolutely charming. A soapy bubble bath, which changes to the scent of after-bath powder. This is a very fun scent. It is a mood lifter for me, and I get my anti-depressants in perfume form. I...

I agree with several of the reviewers that there is an odd note here, but it quickly dissipates into a smooth blend of flowers and spices that I find very comforting. It reminds me of Kenzo's...

Divinely soft, cossetting powdery rose and violet perfume. I felt like I was wrapped up in a rose blanket, well better make that a cashmere rose blanket. Protective and at the same time supremely...

Nice cold weather citrus opening and I was getting quite smitten for about 15 minutes but then it went into the old lady drydown, boring,!! Husband distinctly unimpressed, as was I. Definitely try...

Wanted to but just can't warm to this perfume, I get a nice lavender occasionally, but most of the time it smells like a stable full of wet hay, especially when I smell my wrists, quite unpleasant,...

Does the world, or the MUA part of the world, need yet ANOTHER glowing Parfum Sacre review? Yes. Yes it does. I'd like to point out, by the way, that over at Basenotes world EVERY PS review is...

En Avion has quite a jarring opening. It almost smells like motor oil and various mechanical parts, the aromas one might encounter when flying on a rickety old vintage airplane, the kind that made...

I am speaking of the original formulation here, not the recent reformulation. This is a beautiful womanly perfume and I just love it. It makes me feel so grown up and mysterious. It's citrusy...

My go-to for times when I'm going for a retro feel. Reminds me of playing dress up as a little girl. Certainly not a wimpy scent. I love the smokey, boozy, powdery smell. Like the end of a...

Poivre is a big, bright firecracker of a carnation. The original 1950s advertisements featured a Chinese-style dragon, which I find very fitting: Think of the firecrackers that accompany Chinese...

Not to be confused with the more recent Fleur de Rocaille, Fleurs de Rocaille is a graceful, ladylike floral bouquet. I can't pick out all of the notes, but I do get gardenia, lilac, and lily of...

While I believe that gender categories in fragrance are a meaningless marketing ploy, Caron Pour un Homme is the only so-called men's fragrance that I wear. It's my favorite of that bunch, next to...

This is one of the strangest perfumes I've worn. Everyone raves about Bellodgia's bold carnation note, but I just don't get that at all. Bellodgia is really more of an old-fashioned floral blend in...

Perhaps I read too many reviews and expected too much? I tried a decant of the extrait and can put my wallet away. It is pleasant but not outstanding or interesting (to my humble nose). Well...
