    This is my favorite of the Hermessences without doubt. Intensely beautiful, elegant, serene. I thought I'd write this review, though, for the vegetarian contingent out there who might be a trifle...

    I'd say my experience with Poive Samarcande is very similar to helg's. I love peppery scents (Piper Nigrum being my favorite), and this is pure peppery goodness. There's a bit of ambery, spicy...

    <font size=1>I'm writing this review partly because a very lovely lady told me I should, and partly because my experience with this fragrance has been so radically different. Like all four...

    In my opinion the dryest of the Hermessences I tried (said to mimic velvet, while Rose Ikebana is silk, Vetiver Tonka is wool and Ambre Narguile is cashmere) and a trully good scent. But I have to...

    I am absolutely SURE I would love this stuff....but I can barely smell it! I keep re-trying this on different days and each time the same result: a formerly powerful and intriguing blend of hot...

    Hands down the best Hermessence. Whoo momma. Reminds me of strolling through dusty and spicy Indian markets in the hot sun. I adore it for that, but also because it is unisexually delicious. I wish...

    This is too masculine on my skin. Although I think it smells good and is well blended I would never wear it.

    It's so nice to come to this page, see names of MUA gals whom I love, and understand that for a moment we are identical, attached at the hip and groovin' on the same song. This is the Best of the...

    Although this is not my favourite of the four (I must say, fabulous) Hermessence fragrances, I like it very much. I don´t see it like a man´s scent, I am a woman and I love wearing this! It´s sexy...

    This particular pepper based fragrance is somewhat to the right of center - if left is Piper Nigrum and right is Preparation Parfumee. I like this scent on my skin, but when it was applied to my...

    Love this one! My fave of the 4 by far, and they are all pretty darn nice. I have read comparisons to good old original Polo for men, and I would have to agree with that - to a point. I think...

    Out of all 4 Hermessence series scents, I like this one the best so far. I did not find it masculine or gentlemanly at all. It's just a very unusual scent. On me it is pure leather and tobacco in a...

    I guess I may be in the minority here. I think a man COULD wear this,but do not think it is a "man's scent." Some MUAers say this is their least favorite of the group. I say give it another chance....

    I Must start off this review by saying ~ to me this is strictly a man's scent. I just have a hard time seeing a woman wearing this. I think it would be nice on a man, after the opening notes soften...

    This has that distict B.O. scent I get from Kingdom (Alexander McQueen). It's like Kingdom-light as it is not terribly powerful stuff. It definitely has that 'dirty' quality that I dislike immensly...
