The sweetest death
Poison by Dior you ask? Why yes, it’s poison, minus the spit in your face.
Tendre Poison is an excellent daughter to her mother. Whereas Poison starts of with a dirty floral/incense/fruity-musk, Tendre in comparison starts with green/crisp/vanilla/white floral. I find this scent to connect me with fall more-so than any other scent in my wardrobe at the moment, probably because from the moment i had it in my grubby little paws my hands couldn’t keep away from it(Purchased maybe 2-3 months ago). It feels REALLY heavy on my skin, like a blanket, but the smell itself is very light, clear and multidimensional. Have you ever walked outside on s crisp fall morning 45ºF, sun rising, leaves dry and air empty, yeah that’s Tendre Poison.
It’s a shame, apparently this has been discontinued. I suppose that the women who were really liken to the original Poison didn’t take to well to this one for a few reasons
1. Not strong enough to cover up chain smoking
2. Doesn’t project twenty thousand-billion-trillion miles away from your skin
3. Not strong enough to cover up the smell of 5lbs of hair product
4. Not strong enough to cover up 5 days worth of BO and STANK
5. Pseudo oriental
While some of those reasons are a bit whimsical, you must admit that to someone you know that wears it at least ONE of them is excruciatingly true.
A great release none the less and i will continue to wear it until i cannot find it anymore. Two words to describe it, SHEER FALL!

Make no mistake
My dad had accidentally bought this for himself when i recommended him Bvlgari black. He wasn’t disappointed, and neither was i when i smelled this.
It doesn’t try to make you smell more like a man, it more or less assists the smell you’re already naturally born with. This scent will smell different on every person that wears it, guaranteed. I believe that’s what Bvlgari was going to with this fragrance.
Clear and sheer, Bvlgari man is definitely one of the better, more original releases from any designer house as of late. It begins very clean with a soft accord of lotus blossom and violet leaves. Violet leaves are a gamble for me, sometimes they smell very dirty and now that i think of it, liken to patchouli in some ways and other times they can assist in a proper “crispness” without the addition of “calone”.
The lotus blossom is very “white floral-y” if you catch my drift (powdery dewy), but something that this flower has over other white flowers is that it sniffs out sort of velvety, smooth and a hint green. In the heart of the scent i smell a VERY strong vetiver. Not the same vetiver you’ll find in a Guerlain with the same name.
This vetiver is very earthy and soft accented by sandalwoods which only further the notion of “earth”. Finally in the base of this wonderful perfume we find honey, white musks, cashmere woods, amber and benzoin crystals. When i first saw the base of this scent i just KNEW i had to have it and by GOD is it good.
The white musks work together with honey to sort of assist in the sillage and aromatic properties of the base. Smooth cashmere woods paired with amber and benzoin crystals finish up the fragrance with a clap/eyebrows up, as yo suggest “Well, that’s it. What do you think?”

She is beautiful
Again I find myself wearing Angel this evening. I freely admit that i don’t wear it nearly as often as necessary. It in itself truly is a masterpiece, as much of a phase in time as Chanel no.5 found herself, or Halston (1975) or even Poison (1985). A wonderful transition from the powerhouse fragrances of the 80’s and the floriental aldehyde smells of the 70’s, Angel finds herself alone in her flowerless structure in the early 90’s (1992).
The gourmand is born.
You might ask yourself, “what in the hell is a gourmand?” to which someone like me may be inclined to respond, “a fragrance that smells like food” to put it rather bluntly.
Behind all of the makeup, plastic, silicone and metal Angel does have a spirit I promise you. At first sniff this sauce-y lady may come off as trampy or rude with her sharp plethora of sweet mealy smells, one can surely admit that her start is a swift slap to the face. Her heart beats hard and hot with a perfect patchouli accord, which some describe as dirty or stinky, I cannot disagree more without becoming violent. Any harshness in the top accords is rounded out quickly, which does forgive Angel immensely in my opinion. A dark smokey amber chimes in within the first five minute upon application for me. a warning to any readers, the harsh opening to Angel becomes very addicting after awhile so you may want to hide it from yourself to insure you don’t wear too much.
I have the Angel theme music on repeat as I type this.
Best regards with smelling cards,
