This scent is one that definitely makes me tilt my head like my confused pug Mackie, and take another sniff. One thing I can say is that it shares a common homeland and scent genetics with Acqua di Parma and Blu Mediterraneo scents like Colonia and Fico di Amalfi. It’s light, crystalline, a […]
Again, I guess, I judged a book by its cover (or in this case, a perfume by its name) and was caught totally off guard. I thought it would be girly, ephemeral, and fade quickly. Instead, this scent is quite unisex and substantial. The topnotes are a citrus/herbal blend (with lavender in […]
Prada’s previous scents were very middle-of-the-road for me. I didn’t love, or hate them (I love Miu Miu and Prada fashions a LOT though). All that changed with the release of Prada Infusion D’Iris. It couldn’t be more different from the ambery richness of Prada’s original perfume. On application, there’s almost nothing. It takes about […]

This “Song of the Sea” sings a very familiar tune - it’s quite similar to Comptoir Sud Pacifique’s Aqua Motu. Salty, slightly floral and warm. It very much evokes the sea, and I love it. It’s too similar to the CSP to own both (I already have a full bottle of Aqua […]
If you’re looking for the antidote to fruity-floral scents like Escada or Victoria’s Secret likes to release every 6 weeks or so…this is a great candidate. The name evokes english saddle leather, but tis not so. I love the vetiver/orris/spicy opening blend so much. The bottle is simple, elegant, and beautiful. […]
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is quite a popular fragrance even 6 years after it’s been released. D&G Feminine perfume was released two years earlier, in 1999. It’s almost a prototype for Light Blue, but more grown up and less populist. The woods and musk are much heavier, and the first […]
I have been steadily working my way through the Bois 1920 scents, and this was the hardest so far. Sushi Imperiale is definitely meant to be out of the mainstream…perhaps because of the name I smelled sharp ginger on the outset (was probably the pepper/cinnamon)…but time reveals a spicy heart and a warm vanilla/wood base. […]
I’ve had some major hits with other CdG Series: Scents, and I appreciate the effort and creativity even in the ones that I don’t totally love. That said, I’m on the fence about Sherbet Rhubarb. Part of me thinks it smells just like Stila’s Creme Bouquet. But the rest of me […]
