This scent made me think of Lorenzo Villoresi at first, since the spicy backbone is what LV's scents are mainly like. SMN Potpourri is very nice, though, and another brilliant creation from the...

This scent is pure Italy. The very first time I tried Melograno, it made me think of a quiet Italian dirt road lined with gardens of flowers and vegetables. Molto bene!

Zagara (Orange Blossom) is absolutely brilliant. It's a nice, sharp, and vibrant orange of which I never tire.

Maybe it's just all musk scents in general, but SMN's version is sour, soapy, and rancid. Not my cup of tea AT ALL, though I find most other SMN fragrances to be absolutely brilliant.

I truly love this one...it is my HG of musks. Very clean and creamy. On me it lasts and lasts, and is one of the few fragrances I have that elicits compliments from strangers. I feel very...

Romanticizing a plant that both built the state in which I live and damaged or destroyed many of the lives of those I love/d most brings with it trepidation. With that said, the virtue of tobacco...

I love this. I tried translating the instructions and could have sworn they said to run water over the hands after applying the paste, and then drying them. Hmmm. Not having any confidence at all...

One of my favorite hot weather fragrances, Tuberosa smells sweet and surprisingly green on my skin. There is a candy-like note that dissipates after several minutes. I have worn this together with...

Although I like musk, this one is not for me. It has an extreme sharpness--almost a green edge--muscling its way through the softness of the musk. The combination of soft and sharp duking it out...

I find this fascinating. I keep trying to figure it out. I knew someone who wore this scent in my childhood, (or a scent very similar) but who? I keep smelling it and smelling it. It's right on the...

I found the opening of this to be somewhat soapy-smelling and irritating, but it dried down to a sweet and light honeysuckle.

This is my favorite fragrance. one of the best violettes I have smelled. Not too strong. The EDP is perfect for a light scent. the oil and parfume are available for a stronger smell, and great for...

The triple extracts are not meant to be perfumes by themselves, but rather mixed in with other scents in cologne base or cream. I love teh lilac and the rose, which are about the purest flower...

A very good and very fresh orange blossom scent. Crisp and outdoorsy.

This one is VERY interesting, totally unlike anything in my perfume wardrobe, smells heavy, rich and "old-fashioned". It's fresh, it's green, it's fruity, more sour than sweet and dry-powdery. Very...

I tried this recently as I was looking for yet another rendition of iris. Unlike Hermes' Hiris or Goutal's Heure Exquise, this went on quite sweet and was not powdery at all. The fragrance only...
