This fragrance is awesome. Smells super sweet and cinimon-y. Perfect for Christmas time. lasts relatively long for my skin, and has a wonderful atomizer. I would give this fragrance an extremely high 9.9/10.
Great dupe of Layton, with a fresher opening that drys down extremely similar to Layton. Longevity isn’t the best, but it’s solid (5 hours). Good pickup for under $50.
Super great value, fresh and easy wear. Not very unique and not very long lasting, although fragrances in general don’t last very long on my skin. Don’t spray too much or else it might give you a headache. Overall solid fragrance if you can pick it up at a discounter.
Beautiful chocolate woody scent also powdery in a way definitely gourmand this will always have a special place in my heart due to it being my first colonge great for winter and fall sits close to skin but definitely projects for the first hour or so great for dates and special occasions 9/10 would recommend
Yes at one point this was a very overused colonge but it has definitely died down I've never smelled it on anyone ysl y edp is the new suavage that's my first point second this is a true masterpiece that is love by almost everyone so fresh and spicy with a beautiful scent trail it's a 10/10
Popular for a reason. Unique warm spicy vanilla.
it’s decent at best and super overrated. I’m done listening to influencers. I’ve been burned quite a few times on mediocre fragrances. Good value, decent smell, that’s about it.
Great scent. Powdery almond with not so sweet vanilla and some florals. Its definetly an unisex maybe leaning to women, but still as a man i really enjoy it
I love Intense Red Tobacco and this is a better, smoother version. it’s slightly sweet with the peach and a little boozy with the rum. Great fragrance.
Absolute perfection. Sweet vanilla with a touch of apple and wood. This is one of my all time favorites. Definitely a crowd pleaser and very hard not to like. TilTokers calling this overrated are ridiculous, but I’ll hand it to them, saying nonsense like that definitely garners comments on their accounts.
One of my favourite colognes I’ve ever had it’s an addictive warm sweet and nutty scent I use this for a very cold winter day or if I am going snowboarding it is so strong that the people behind you on the hill can smell it with you and lasts a very long time big compliment getter but you have to like the sweet scents I would rate this a solid 9/10 the only downside is that the atomizer is not the best
It’s a beast! Spicy tobacco scent.
With notes of soil and moss, Coven is meant to embody a shadowy woodland walk, and I think it's clear the results are pretty divisive. One reviewer notes, and I am paraphrasing here, that it smells like dumpster juice. My own partner thinks it smells like an exploded car battery. I can’t deny that there is a sickly sweet rot at play here, like the dark shadows of Dol Guldur slowly encroaching the Greenwood forest as the feral wizard Radagast the Brown watches in horror while the vegetation blackens and decays before his eyes and many of his beloved animal friends are sick or dying. As it dries, the whiskey becomes apparent, and a strange, sour cumin note emerges to combine with the mossiness and the sense of black mold and mildew and it conjures a sort of hungover Witch-King of Angmar, badly in need of a bath.
Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather is a fragrance I both weirdly like and I don’t like and I can’t make up my mind. The new car leather scent is front and center, like you literally just slid into the seat of some posh, luxury vehicle to take it for a test drive. The smarmy salesperson slithered into the passenger seat next to you and they are wearing that screechy-sweet jasmine scent from Tom Ford that you really despise and at first you want to roll down the windows but you can’t figure out how they work so you just give up. But somehow the syrupy musk of the jasmine alongside the smooth, slightly bright, slightly animalic leather is a striking combination. But the two notes never really meld, they sit separately for the duration of the scent’s journey, and much like that trip twice around the car lot with the stranger that you’re not going to buy the car from anyway, it’s ultimately an awkward ride.
Mizensir’s Celebes Wood is a scent I love, but I think I love it more for someone else. This is a frou-frou boozy woodland party of a fragrance. A dozen rowdy princesses gather in the forest at midnight, all glitter and glamour and flowing hair and dazzling tiaras and ballgown pockets stuffed with cakes and confections and clutching jeweled flasks of sweet, strong liqueurs that cost half a kingdom to procure. There’s gossip and gifts and drinking and dancing and sweet kisses and secrets under the moonlight. And these princesses aren’t sleepwalking or under a spell, they’re alert and more alive than they’ve ever been, women with agency and autonomy and a vision for the future that will shake the very foundations of their world, because it doesn’t involve pleasing parents or marrying princes or making themselves or their dreams small or hiding their hearts’ truest songs. So...yeah. That kind of party. This is a sumptuous ambery scent, opening with a swirling of almost effervescent sparks, like someone tossed cinnamon and cardamom on a flame, and when the embers die there is a deep, rich heart of tonka bean and resinous labdanum and something a lot like patchouli, but creamier, and less earthy. It’s beautiful and on the right person it could be devastating, but somehow it’s not me.
Dragonfly from Zoologist is a scent that apparently I’ve been sampling for so long I’m left with only fumes. But I'm not sure that I need a full bottle. I don’t own many scents like this…which is not to say it’s incredibly unique, because I’m not sure that’s the case. It’s a sort of gentle, watery floral musk with cherry blossom and peony and sweet, powdery heliotrope. While it’s nice, it’s quite pretty even, I’d definitely put it in the aquatic category… and I don’t love aquatics. Even one as wearable as this. I guess that’s what I mean when I say that I don’t have many like it. I’m sure there are lots of things that smell similar, I just couldn’t tell you what they are because I don’t wear or typically even sample them! I’ve read that dragonflies thrive in fresh, clean water and I think there is something of that purity that comes across in this scent. Purity is such a fraught term and so I hesitate to even use it, but that is the first word that comes to mind, and honestly, now that I have said that, you know who I can imagine wearing this scent? The brave and ridiculously sweet Laura Lee from Yellowjackets. This scent is perfect for this character.
Maya from Tocca is a scent that I bought on a whim a few months ago when I was grabbing a few travel-sized scents from Sephora. Tocca scents generally don’t work for me and this one is no exception. They are all, or at least the one I’ve tried, these ridiculous fruity-florals that remind me of somehow of Edible Arrangement fruit bouquets. I don’t care for fruity florals but I don’t think this is a bad version of one. With top notes of black currant, violet leaf, and some underlying jasmine and rose, it’s a bombastic burst of jammy, patchouli-cloaked fruit, and musky florals, and it was driving me nuts because it reminds me so much of a scent that I used to wear in my late teens, when I first started taking classes at community college. The reason I remember this is because our cat peed on my bookbag and I tried to cover it up with this particular fragrance and 15 minutes into class I realized with a sinking heart that my solution was not working, so I gathered up my stuff and left and was too embarrassed to ever return. That scent was Tribu by Bennetton. I just checked the scent notes and it also lists black currant and violet leaf, jasmine, and rose. It does not of course list cat pee from one Leroy Parnell, our Siamese cat at the time, but in my memory Tribu and screechy, skanky cat piss are inextricably linked. Maya does not share that aspect with it. It's just a run-of-the-mill fruity-floral. It's fine. A touch of cat pee might make it more interesting, though.
Megamare from Orto Parisi is an absolute Atlantean kaiju of a fragrance. A massive, mysterious sea beast, a preternatural creature of divine power, wrapped in radioactive seaweed, rises from the unfathomable depths of an otherworldly ocean trench to surface in the middle of a typhoon. Tsunamis wreak havoc around the globe, saltwater instantaneously soaks every surface, a strange cloud of mossy musk forms, algae blooms, visibility drops to zero within seconds. At the vortex of this calamity is MEGAMARE, a gentle creature cursed with a hulking stature and an immensely briny, brackish odor that can be detected from other planets, other dimensions. It takes in the citizens of the world in a sweeping glance of its kaleidoscopic cyclopean eye and thinks “fucking hell, these humans are garbage” and disappears into the abyss never to be seen again. But its unearthly DNA changed the very essence of the seawater, and from every place a drop fell that day, a strange aromatic blossom appeared. And so history will never forget the vast flowering of judgment, the day of Megamare.
Each person has a preference. Different scents illicit different emotional, physical and psychological responses from different people. This is bold and spicey. The pepper notes come thru loudly and amp up the other notes. This makes a dreary cold winter's day exciting. It's like somebody gave the winter blues some caffeine and cocaine and everything is suddenly alive and running at warp speed.
No, just no. This is a woman's perfume. It's so super sweet and effeminate smelling that I can't help but wonder if what I have is actually cologne
Leather? There's no leather notes in this. Rum? There's no rum It's powdery Iris and nothing but powdery Iris. This is a great scent for a grandmother in her 60's.
I really wanted to like this, and i don't mind the tangy citrus in the opening, but this is generally a fog of ingredients trying to out do each other in longevity. No matter how well this performs, it still has to smell good, and to me, this lacks in naturality and coherence.
It’s an atmospheric scent of being inside a cafe drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying the aroma of delicious pastries. Works well for cooler days in the fall and winter. The sweetness and spices in the fragrance are is well and feels nicely balanced.
It’s a sweet scent that is good for cold fall and winter days. Personally, I find it too sweet. The flanker is a lot better.
Very very nice fragrance with a warm amber
