I love cinnamon and clove, so I though that Spezie de Medici was for me. Big mistake!
On my skin, the cardamon is stronger than the cinnamon and clove notes. It starts out beautifully, with the...

I’ve been dying for trying this for years, and I received my sampler from Beutyhabit today. Disappointment! It’s not at all similar to Santa Maria Novella’s Zagara as some have described, in fact...

Finally, a lavender-note scent I don't loathe, but actually love! I have truly despised lavender most of my life, finding it acrid, medicinal, and astringent. I'm not a botanist, so I can't tell...

Me too. I love tuberose and this is a fine one. It reminds me of Tuberose Criminelle when I first put it on, in terms of the medicinal qualities. Nowhere near as frightening though....so do or...

Very, very sweet on my skin, and extremely uncomplicated. It would be easy to duplicate this with inexpensive oils from the new age emporium or health food store (amber and vanilla), and those...

Hmm. I really don't know what to do with this one. As much as I like powdery heliotrope (etc) scents, to me, this smells somewhat chalky. It lacks the cooling warmth (if that makes sense) of Etro's...

Very pretty! I do not generally wear amber well, so Ambra del Nepal was a lovely surprise for me - and certainly the best amber-based perfume I have found so far! It definitely has that initial...

I have been looking for an amber scent - one that doesn't turn "Shalimar-y" on my skin. Don't get me wrong, I love Shalimar, but I wanted an amber without those famous powdery and musky accords,...

I am not one to complain about fragrances that don't last. Usually they last too long. But this is the only fragrance I have ever tried that I would label "short-lived."

Another headache inducer.
I get this fresh, reminiscent of cleaner, smell. And then an overly sweet floral moves in and gives me a headache (and I go racing to wash it off).

Okay, so it's not as disturbing as Talco Delicato on me (massive shudder), but all I get is a yucky baby powder.
Not recommended.

Once again, I have a citrus/green doing funny things on my skin.
I don't even get a citrus hint with this one, but rather an immediate musty floral, like I've been hanging out in Grandma's...

Meh! Where's the pomegranate?
I get a gardenia and tuberose mix in the mid, and it just isn't all that interesting to me. Admittedly, I haven't found many (any?) florals that strike...

This scent reminded me of holiday baking ... being at Mom's for Thanksgiving and Christmas. There's a very strong spice of deserts baking in the oven.
It is too strong for me, and not something...

My HG fragrance...I never thought I could have an HG until I sprayed this on one day and was completely bowled over. Yes, it's predominantly vanilla. Plain vanilla, however, it is not. It smells...

Lovely initial scent, very pan-seasonal, warm and sexy.
Dries down to a very sweet vanilla with (what I assume is) myrrh in the background. Was surprised to discover that I liked the vanilla,...
