This is beautiful and cosy. Warm, spicy, incensy, resinous, balsamic and animalic. Not in a dense way, but like cosy fur.
It reminds me of MXXX. however, MXXX. edges above with its incredible quality naturals amongst other things.
Scouts questionable character aside, this is a really cool fragrance. An industrial gourmand.
Warm asphalt and rubber, sweet and slightly animalic vanilla, waffle cone.
It gives the imagery of eating your vanilla waffle cone at the funfair, the smell of hot rides in the distance - fuel, rubber, leather - just what was intended by the fragrance.
Sounds weird, it is a little, but it's really nice.
My relationship with this fragrance, much like with the original Angel is a classic love/hate story. It’s a sweet scent with plenty of chocolate, but I wouldn’t call it a typical gourmand, as there’s a huge amount of patchouli and woody notes running through it. It’s a very distinctive, slightly quirky composition, definitely for those who enjoy bold fragrances. As much as I love stronger perfumes, I have to be in the right mood to wear this one, because the patchouli is so prominent that it can become tiring after a while. As with most Mugler perfumes, the longevity and projection are very good, although not quite as powerful as the original Angel. It’s definitely a fragrance for the autumn and winter season.
Best of the homme line
This is one of my best impulse buys from a duty free. A boozy plum note with pink pepper and rose, set on a base of patchouli and musk with a touch of vanilla. I don’t usually like fragrances where patchouli dominates, but here it’s done brilliantly. The scent is intense but not sweet, and it definitely grabs attention and turns heads. Longevity and projection are very good. It’s a fragrance well suited to evenings or the autumn and winter season.
A beautiful, classic chypre, feminine and elegant. It opens with a fruity but non sweet notes, followed by slightly powdery florals with rose taking centre stage. The musky woody base gives the fragrance warmth and sensuality. The composition is distinctive and modern, yet not loud. It’s a scent that draws attention. Projection reaches about an arm’s length, and longevity on my skin is a solid eight hours.
If you love grand soir, you’ll absolutely LOVE this. It‘s a little sweeter and in my opinion it’s a little easier to wear. Definitely is a cooler weather fragrance, but you could definitely wear it on a date and even on a cool spring evening. Amazing fragrance!!!
Musc Ravageur est un monument, un classique instantané qui a influencé une génération de parfums. C'est une expérience olfactive qui divise, fascine et captive. Il ne vous demande pas de l'aimer, il vous demande de le ressentir. Ce n'est pas un parfum anodin, c'est une signature audacieuse pour ceux qui osent une séduction assumée, complexe et absolument mémorable.
My second favourite flanker after the original Nomade. It’s a sweet, floral and spicy fragrance on a woody resinous base. Myrrh, cinnamon and ginger work beautifully together, while the moss, resins and vanilla in the base give it a cosy feel. The scent is rich, more mature and elegant, but not overwhelming. Projection is moderate, and longevity is around five hours.
This is an upscale Italian cologne style fragrance. Classy, with great performance and silage. Smells expensive and put together but familiar at the same time.
This fragrance smells like a Saturday night in a nightclub, plenty of alcohol, a handsome stranger, an intoxicating night, and the scent of his cologne left on the pillow. It opens with a mix of red berries and a generous splash of cognac. Then the sweetness of vanilla appears, blended with amber on a woody base. It’s a true unisex scent with the perfect balance of sweetness and woodsy notes. Projection is average, and longevity is around five hours. I don’t find it similar to Narcotic Delight, which is much sweeter and has a strong tobacco note I’m not fond of in fragrances. It’s not Black Phantom either as this one develops in a completely different way.
When I tested it on a blotter, I really liked the scent. Today, after a full wear test, I’m not quite as impressed. It opens with a beautiful, non gourmand vanilla, and after a moment the amber comes through. For a short while it’s truly lovely, but unfortunately the leather note with a strong animalic accent soon appears. It would be fine if the leather leaned more towards musky, but on my skin the promising start turns into a bit of a beaver-like funk. If someone enjoys fragrances with pronounced animalic notes, I’ll admit the longevity is quite good, around 6 hours, but the projection is rather weak.
As a cherry and almond lover, I simply had to buy it. I had high hopes for this one, I expected something sexy, little decadent, maybe even naughty. Unfortunately there’s nothing “indecent” about this cherry at all. It smells like the cherry compote my nan used to plonk on the table with dinner. I can’t detect the tonka or the woodsy notes, and the almond is the sugary type. As it dries down , the scent becomes more like a shampoo, nice enough but not exactly inspiring. I don’t think it’s particularly similar to TF Lost Cherry either, and it’s definitely miles apart from FDB Sirène. I’ll probably pass this one on to my teenage daughter.
This smells like my nan’s orchard in late summer. Juicy, honeyed, ripe fruit mixes with delicate, fresh flowers. It’s a girly, sweet scent, but not overly sugary, perfect for everyday wear. It’s just a pity it’s so fleeting.
This fragrance changed my mind on what I usually don't like!
It's beautiful tropical fruits and the creamy yellow florals and vanilla is so comforting and fresh without being overly sweet.
Una fragancia bastante cautivadora , con una proyección a limpio y ordenado, en la mujer se proyecta como algo fresco , serio , dulce pero un dulce bastante particular , una joya que aquellos que la obtengan la disfrutarán
The Tragedy of Lord George est une déclaration, pas une évolution. Son approche linéaire est à la fois sa plus grande force et sa potentielle limite. Il offre une signature olfactive immédiatement reconnaissable et d'un grand raffinement, parfaite pour ceux qui cherchent un "parfum-personnage". En revanche, ceux qui adorent les transformations complexes et les voyages olfactifs en plusieurs actes pourraient le trouver moins captivant. C'est une œuvre de style, audacieuse et littéraire, qui assume pleinement son identité unique.
Signature olfactive unique et immédiatement identifiable.
Accord rhum-bois-ambre d'une grande sophistication et d'une tenue remarquable.
Parfait pour créer une aura de luxe discret et de caractère.
Son caractère linéaire et très affirmé peut manquer de dynamisme pour les amateurs de parfums très évolutifs. Son prix est également élevé pour une expérience olfactive qui ne se transforme pas.
Slightly acidic, floral, incense, leather-animalic that somehow manages to smell like someone has tossed a handful of gold dust into a ray of sunlight. Apparently inspired by an episode of Dr Who, but it always make me visualise the scene in Paul Schrader's Mishima, where the golden pavilion suddenly swings open and you get this burst of rapturous music from the Philip Glass score.
Plastic, smoke, concrete dust, petrol, powdery makeup, all mingling with orange blossom. Very persistent. Makes me think of a really distessing Bhopal medical appeal advert that used to run in the aftermath of the Union Carbide gas leak, which featured an infant's face peering out of dirt and rubble, as it was being buried.
The Chronotope line is generally adventurous, but this one is really out there. It walks a fine line between compelling and unpleasant and it's this very tension that ultimately makes this such a successful creation. That said, there are limited occasions in which I'd choose to wear this. Accept that as a limitation, and this is certainly worth investigating
A dank, green, vegetal, smoky concoction.
Someone has freshly picked hallucinogenic jungle foliage and tossed it to smoulder on a wood fire. You wake up three days later with a sore head and dry mouth, naked and with indecipherable ritualistic symbols painted on your body.
Enormously tenacious and powerful, so best used sparingly and not in the vicinity of polite company.
According to other reviews, this is a dupe for JPG Ultramale, though I haven’t smelled that myself.
This fragrance is powerful but not too overpowering. It opens with strong aromatics, fresh mint, sweet pear, and warm spice. As it dries down, the aromatics remain, and a spicy woodiness emerges.
Alongside smooth vanilla, this is a banger.
A friend had this, and I sprayed it on my hand. Three days later, after two showers, one bath, and countless handwashes, I realised this morning that I could still smell it on my hand.
Amouage Purpose 50 est une œuvre d'art totale. C'est une méditation en trois actes sur la résilience, la lumière et la paix intérieure. Il est exigeant, complexe et d'une beautie presque douloureuse. Il ne vous flatte pas ; il vous transporte et vous transforme. Ce n'est pas un achat, c'est l'acquisition d'une relique olfactive, un investissement dans ce que la parfumerie peut offrir de plus élevé, de plus spirituel et de plus mémorable. Tout simplement monumental.
This is a beautiful scent! It doesn’t have an overly strong projection. I would say that the black tea note is predominate. Definitely smells like Imagination, with a twist. I also get the tea note that you pick up in Gris Charnel from BDK. The presentation is stunning. The bottles are like a slim Xerjoff bottle. And the price is under $60. Ainash has a high oil concentration, so they last longer than most designer fragrances. I recommend this brand.
Initio Oud For Greatness est bien plus qu'un parfum ; c'est un état d'esprit. C'est une dose de confiance liquide, une affirmation de puissance personnelle. Il a démocratisé l'oud en le rendant accessible, charismatique et irrésistiblement séduisant. Bien que son prix soit élevé, son rapport qualité/performance/émotion est inégalé. Ce n'est pas un achat, c'est un investissement dans votre aura. Un chef-d'œuvre moderne et incontournable.
