Smells like a typical shaving cream. Not unpleasant but not particularly unique and definitely not something I'd want to smell of.

This would be the perfect rose perfume for hot summer weather; it's delicate, fresh and airy. Geranium complements rose perfectly. It's supposed to contain also the notes of ylang ylang, mimosa &...

I won’t say too much about No.88 – a rather masculine cologne – because it reminds me of an ex boyfriend who wore Fumerie Turque. The dry-down is akin to said fragrance, but the journey there...

I think Dark Rose is a phenomenal rose – fruity petals crushed using a pestle and mortar in an apothecary at midnight. It is as rich as purple velvet, but yet there is something wet about this...

This take on neroli has a lot in common with Hermes’ Eau d’Orange Verte, but the presence of Ylang Ylang adds a sweet sherbet quality to the bitter zest. There is something sappy and green about...

When I put this on first, I think immediately of a Rich Hippie scent bordering on Andy Tauer's favorite incense note. I like it enough to be intrigued. After the initial hippie wears off, it...

This goes on sour initially, and that effects stays for quite a while. I am beginning to think I can't do geranium. At all. I was hoping that the storied "dark honeyed notes" would come out...

I was expecting much, much more. No. 88 smells like almost pure red musk oil on me (though it is not listed as a note). It has ungodly amounts of sillage, and I just dabbed the stuff. Yuck. I do...

Practically identical to other rose/leather/wood/resin scents out there. I swapped for a decant of this only to find out that it is very hard to get. Get yourself one of the Montale Roses instead...

so fresh and clean for a neroli scent. I love the headiness of orange blossom, neroli, scents and this has those qualities PLUS a freshness that is usually not present in rich neroli scents, IMO. ...

If you have even the slightest amount of soap phobia, you would definitely want to sample this fragrance before purchasing unsniffed. On me it is pure rose and geranium soap which eventually dries...

I didn't wear my full anti-lavender flak suit before testing F&M since I'd not read the reviews first and was unaware I should have pulled it out of the closet. I'm not a huge fan of lavender. I...

Jam. Sniffing excellent, rich, deeply aromatic jam before spreading some on a roll for breakfast in a hotel in Lucerne. That is the instant memory that comes up with the opening notes of Dark...

I made soap out of mine. With some additions (more frankincense, more myrrh), it made really wonderful soap.

Virtually identical to Agent Provocateur or Undergroundscent Plant's Funeral scents -- Rose, with an earthy background a strong saffron note. This dries slightly more bitter and reedy however.

Czech & Speake No. 88 is a very distinctive and classy fragrance, but it is surely not very modern. No. 88 begins very as a clean, fresh, soapy, dark, wet, earthy, woody floral with strong notes...

I'm hooked. This is one serious rose. The saffron note is fairly prominent, so people who have trouble with saffron, cumin, and other spicy notes associated with savory cooking should approach...

I wasn't too happy when the SA recommended I try this. A rose scent? I like flower scents, but I prefer them on flowers, especially if they are recognizable flower scents. And then this. A deep,...

Oooooo, with Frankincense & Myrrh as its name, I thought this was a given! I prostrate myself before those gorgeous notes. But LAVENDER, evil little LAVENDER, really shines in this fragrance, and...
