Hay has a lovely sweet aromatic (minty?) top note which quickly dissipates and dries down on me to something very similar to Lavande Velours, which is one of the few fragrances I can't take. ...

This is pomegranate? If this is pomegranate, someone remind me to find out what I should be calling the delicious, tart/sweet, juicy, ruby-colored fruits I have been enjoying every late fall and...

Hello, fellow fragrance "experts" - I have read many reviews herein, but hardly ever post. Let me start by saying that I have learned to let a fragrance devolop, and I have learned that different...

Well, I'm not sure whether or not to recommend this product, and yet its very oddity compels me to write a review! SMN's Polvere Per Bianchire Le Carni, packaged in a cardboard box, is a dry...

Citrus here and something green and floral. Pretty, but nothing I'd ever wear. Kind of boring.

I hate to be in the minority on Garofano, but I recently received a sample of this from a very kind MUA swapper and LOATHED it. We're talking, like, bottom 5 fragrances of all times here. The...

I wonder if SMN can make a fragrance that doesn't smell like strong old soap on my skin!
It's not that I don't like soap in general, but I don't like it as a personal scent!
Pot-pourri ( Hahha!...

An aldehydic rose musk more than a cozy skin scent (although with drydown, the aldehydes go away and the scent becomes considerably softer). It's very soapy and a bit sharp and masculine for my...

Strong clen musky scent, it smells very soapy on my skin. Not worth the price.

Very pleasant!
I smell mostly delicate flowers and soft but bold woody notes.
It doesn't seem an unisex scent, it's clearly feminine.

One of the less sweet violet scents out there, with a distinctive citrus/green note that keeps things bracing and interesting. It's nice enough but I still prefer Borsari's VdP, Caron's violet or...

The most gorgeous smelling body lotion I have tried. It moisturises well but it is the scent that grabs you... a kind of lovely old world rosey-violet smell. Will buy and buy again.

This smells like freshly picked, spicy carnations. It's subtle and sexy. Loving it :).

I'm still conflicted about this scent: love it, but it's just not something that works well with my chemistry apparently. Beautiful, rich, smoky and spicy, but after a couple of hours I get tiny...

After the first few minutes this is insanely SOAPY goodness. Super SOAPY to the max. Talk about smelling like you came fresh from the bath. It's soft enough to be feminine and soapy enough to be...

I use a dab of Santa Maria Novella Pasta di Mandorle on my hands every night at bedtime, and the (admittedly expensive) jar lasts for months and months. It has a thick, pasty-but-creamy texture...

This fragrance is feminine. It's straight-up vanilla, the way vanilla REALLY smells. It's got a hint of spice in it as well, so it's not EXACTLY like cooking vanilla. The fragrance is very...

This is not what comes to mind for me when I think of pomegranites, but I do like this scent very much. It's powdery (though not too much so for me) and a little old-fashioned. To my nose, it...
