Patchouli is just one of those “love it or hate it” scents. I guess most of the world hated this one because it appears to be discontinued although decants are still available at places like ThePerfumedCourt and DecantPerfume. The notes include:
top notes of ginger, bergamot and orange; heart notes of patchouli, cinnamon, and […]
One midsummer night each year, an unusual desert flower blooms as night falls and then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun. Few see it, but those who do are entranced by the rare fragrance of the exquisite, short-lived bloom. The night blooming cereus is the desert flower from which Cereus takes […]
Today I gave this perfume a proper voyage, and did we ever go places.
The inital blast reminds me of CKOne. No lie! But the heart of green (Hatian Vetiver) and ambery base are so much more grown up and sexy than the youthful androgeny of CK1. I think […]
Today was a particularly cold and loooong day for me. I dabbed on a bit of Sultan Safran perfume. By the time I got to the bus stop I had a nice first impression - clean, soapy on the top but musky and patchouli notes underneath. This scent reminds me of […]
I chose this scent a few weeks ago for a black tie event, and it was perhaps not the best idea. Sharp, green and spicy, almost “dill pickle” note at the very first. It settles down into what I would definitely consider straw or hay. It’s erudite, elitist, very uncommon but […]
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 […]
Dexie of She Knows Best has posted a cologne buying guide (via some info in Details Magazine). I’m not sure I agree with their picks but see for yourself! You can check it out here.
Great work Dexie! And visit the men’s category of reviews to find out more on men’s colognes and fragrances right here […]
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. […]
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.
