Can't say that I mind this scent-- it doesn't BOTHER me, that is. In fact, I found it rather interesting. Then I put my sample vial under the DH's nose for his opinion. He hasn't spoken to me in...

There is nothing more nostalgic to me then the smell of tobacco smoke and leather seats in a fine sportscar; it reminds me of my dad. Leather and tobacco are two of my favorite accords in a...

Keeter has hit the nail on the head, with her review. Crude, solvent-paintshop smell followed by a more conventional basenote resembling Bulgari Black. Gimmicky concoction totally lacking in class...

I tend not to be the nostalgic type, so I was not particularly drawn in by this fragrance's name. Expectations were low. Consequently, it set me reeling when I put it on and realized this was...

There are two distinct stages to Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella. The first stage is marked by the top notes, which are both jarring and rather grotesque, as it is like lemon-scented car exhaust....

Nostalgia smelled like nail polish remover when I first uncorked the lid to my decant bottle, but after application, it settled into a smooth and masculine tone. I can definitely see the...

Rolling through the Tuscan hills on a hot summer's day in an ecologically unsound 1934 Hispano Suiza H6C convertible; its incompletely combusted exhaust all but drowns the faint sweetness of the...
