Kierin NYC

It's very unique! Opens really good with passion fruit and champagne, but dries down to a weird cinnamon rum smell that just doesn't work for me!

Estrella de la Mañana

Une Nuit Nomade

mariaarantes

This one did not catch my attention from the first spritz. After a 10-15 min wear, I did fell in love. And kept falling for it as the hours gone by. But I am a sucker for leather accords. and that is really what I smell the most here. A very very spicy leather note that stays with you for hours and hours. Longevity is huge. Still very wearable and discrete though. A very warm leathery wear with a spicy cocoa note in the back.

Realistic apple all the way through. I expected the opening to dry down into something, but the apple keeps apple-ing. I see how others enjoy the scent but I don’t want to smell like apple for that long.

At first, the liquor and red wine are strongly noticeable, but give it some time, literally a few minutes and it turns to this really sweet, with a bit of fruitiness sense fragrance, like you're about to taste some luxurious caramel cookie in Paris. Definitely dedicated to special occasions, but rather this soft and delicate one.

This smells like a night in Ibiza, like glitz and glam. A glamorous, lighthearted high energy spirited night out. It’s fresh and luxurious and heady and uplifting, a little bubble gummy sweet but not too sweet. Dry down is a warm woody vanilla amber. It’s slightly salty, like sun kissed skin while dancing in the breezy balmy night air. This is a powerhouse on me, projects and is a strong and long lasting performer.

I kick myself for how many times I must have walked by a Lauder counter in the late 80's and 90's and never stopped to smell this much less spray it on. Last year I bought a bottle of the first reformulation (green cap with gold top vs original all gold cap). The initial hit of green scents, herbs and mossy woods is amazing. Very eighties masculine yet not necessarily shouting to the room like many manly eighties scents due. Don't get me wrong it is decent sillage and great longevity but not quite the same as some of the 80's powerhouses. There is something to this that also helps it slide in to a modern fragrance without loosing its vintage vibes.

To my novice nose it is hard to decern the individual notes but the quality of the fragrance is top notch, better than so much I try these days. Good news is that vintage bottles are still available and rather reasonable compared to other vintage heroes from this time period.

If you like classic masculine scents you need to check this one out.

I Am Trash - Les Fleurs Du Déchet

Etat Libre d'Orange

kalczberg

overall “i am trash“ is a very nice skin scent, the opening of beautifull ripe apple with rose is perfectly balanced and very neutral unisex. The dry down comes very fast and gives a woody base with slight hints of that opening. The scène of flowers going past their best is good, without being ”trashy” or “stinky”. it’s a an overal beauty of a fragrance but sadly it could have been stronger of slightly more potent. Its longevity is good, but it becomes a very close skin scent really fast, which i’m personally not a fan. It doesn’t need to be a bomb, but a bit of sillage or projection should be possible.

Erolfa is to me quintesssential summer. The opening is like wave of citrus coming it great you when you stand in an italian Bergamot field. Combined with fresh spices like little sparkles or drops of seawater, ginger, slight peppery and dry’s down in this oppulent woody basenote. it’s masculine without being brash. It’s refined and makes me think of a wealthy Grand Tourer, sitting on a terras in an Italian town, not far from the sea, enjoying his day, relaxing and having no worries on his mind. Maybe he will go sailing or just take a book and read all day to finish with a nice apero and good plate of food.

Erolfa is well balanced and brings all what is good in man’s summer fragrances and Bourdon combines it like the master he is.

Aqua Media Cologne Forte

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

kalczberg

An okay allrounder cologne for summerdays, soft, very much a skin fragrance, but not a high flyer.

the surprising hint of a vegetably fennel in the opening mixed with citrus is nice, its drydown is light woody and powdery with indeed a faint tea note in it. It‘s good, but not mind boggeling. if you want a cologne or a cologne kind of fragrance with citrus and woody drydown you can get far better on the market. The fennel note is fun, but to me not convincing enough of the great mastery of FK. And you want Tea notes then there are even more alternatives that are far superior.

I really like this scent. On my own skin the duration and sillage is okay, on my partner it smells divine and lasts much longer, with beautiful deep warm undertones. If "Mhyrr & Tonka" is the flighty and flirty brother, "Oud & Bergamot" is the more sophisticated boyfriend material brother.

Dans Le Bleu Qui Pétille

Serge Lutens

cawdor

You are floating in the ocean, immediately after having sprayed on a shitload of Ambre Sultan. The sea is absolutely calm, glassy, the sort where there is almost a film on the water. Someone has built a wood fire on the distant shore. When you emerge from the water, you can still smell the sea salt on your skin.

I can never quite decide if I like this, or love it, or actually really dislike it. It's certainly unusual, but there's a clash between the aquatic freshness and the incense that can be cloying at the outset. At the same time, it's this very clash that makes the scent profile interesting. The incense diminishes during the drydown, and a green, vegetal scent emerges, along with an almost citrus sweetness and a light, smokey wood note. It's lighter and more paletable at this stage but paradoxically less unique. Finally it dwindles to a pleasant incense alone.

I like it, but it is a very intensely sweet scent.

Orphéon Eau de Parfum

Diptyque

sirjk

Clean girl aesthetic scent that is unisex. A very pleasant combination and well made blend of clean yet intriguing notes. Love to wear this at home and outside.

What an odd fragrance. It‘s definitely unique in my collection. The first thing I picture is an old fishing/whaling boat with a deck that is freshly rinsed. It’s clean but there’s a kind of humid, mammalian feel to it as well. It doesn’t come off as inky to me but neither does Encree Noir. Maybe it’s squid ink. The honey note is kinda wee-wee like but it’s pleasant. The more I wear this the more I like it.

this is my absolute favorite fragrance there are some dupes out there, but none are as good as this.

My woman loves smelling it on me says she just can't get enough Guys at work have stopped me to tell me that i smell good and for them to say something positive is a big deal so it must smell really good to them too,

when i wear this i do feel more confident you can dress it up or down wear it when it's 0 to 80 might save it for nights in the really hot summer I'm sure it will be really strong then,

it doesn't project a lot, but they will smell you well after you leave the area and a good breaze will carry your scent a long way.

my only downside to this is the ridiculous price like 200 max not 500+

Trayee

Neela Vermeire Creations

rosh002

One of the best creation this century according to not just me but much better noses than me. Rbalkis on the other review website and also persolaise on yt.

Being Indian and having a love of french perfumery NVC is the perfect perfume house for me. I love all their creations and nothing captures the essence of Indian rituals like Trayee. This immediately transforms me to a religious ritual, where someone took a hit of ganja and you walk through a home, laden with all the smells of spices infused sweets, with jasmine garlands hanging on doorways and the resins are being burned and you walk through the smoke infused with pure Mysore sandalwood. This is the only perfume I have a backup bottle of. A masterpiece from Bertrand Douchefour with the exacting creative direction from Neela.

this is a spicy floral but when I say spicy, I don't mean pepper I mean like herbal incense spice. this fragrance has notes I haven't smelled in any other fragrance i have. its almost dark the note listing says sweet but i don't get the sweetness at all from it.

this isn't a rose oud to my nose although it has some exotic woody notes i don't get the typical wood from it. it's certainly different than any other rose i have.

the closest i can think of is black rose but they're still not the same

it's a very pleasant scent i do recommend trying if you like floral woody scents

I would describe this as an aromatic chocolate vanilla scent slightly sweet has a dirty earthy note in there maybe the vetiver or any of the other herbal aromatics.

this scent is pleasant to the nose and non-offensive in any way that I can see. if you don't like this you simply don't like cologne at all.

not overly sweet vanilla so I do feel like you could wear it to work or school especially in the cooler weather months. might shy away on those 80-degree day but other than that this think would be good all year round

Prada L'Homme Intense

Ehh, smells like the backseat of a Buick Skylark that has had baby powder tossed on the floorboards to absorb a spilt evening.

This has a smokey quality to the rose while it dances with vanilla ice cream and pistachio. Amazing projection, sillage, and performance.

I don’t think it’s the most original or groundbreaking. That being said it exudes class as Chanel does. It opens with sparkling citrus that gives way to white florals and soft musk. Orris root gives this a deep and earthy complexity.

It's not warm spicy or anything but rather very sweetly floral. Like a soft daydream.

My squeaky clean freshly washed hair still damp and lank morose emo girl reach. It is a watery, melancholic, translucent moody jasmine. Simplistic in that hazy placid lake type way… with a winding serpentine undertow. Tranquil and serene while being mildly disturbing, an uncomplicated wear though and great longevity.

this thing smells just like my beard oil and that's not a bad thing it's a pine tree in a bottle.

it opens smooth as can be with the violet and iris giving it a very well-balanced opening like spray and walk out the door ready for an Afnan that's impressive the pine quickly comes through I'd guess within the first 15 minutes it doesn't ever get overpowering to my nose i could smell it on me for several hours so no complaints there.

I wear it to work but I'm blue collar so smelling like I've just got done cutting wood is a normal thing for me
