White Rose (Eau de Toilette) by Floris

„Underplayed rosey white musk”
Hard to explain just how nondescript this is on me. A vaguely rosey white musk, soft and clean. My nan (born late 1890s) used to have a dab of lavender water on a hanky in her handbag if she was going out and needed to be posh. The strength and inoffensiveness...

Coriandre (Eau de Parfum) by Jean Couturier

„Poor purchase decision”
The note pyramid make this edp sound like just my cup of tea. Oh no, wrong. The base notes look just right, dry, woody, maybe a bit bitter. Lots of lovely flowers in the middle. Nice aldehydic citrusy top. I get none of that. To me it is a thin, sour,...

Oriental Velours - Les Indémodables DorothyGrace 23 days ago

Very dirty smell on me, like Marmite, balsam, and a bitter myrhh. A bit dirty animalic. Meaty sweet.
Pretty dense.

Sotto la Luna - Tuberose - Tauer Perfumes DorothyGrace 24 days ago

Tuberose surprisingly similar to the Fracas tuberose. On me dryer with loads of slightly lemony geranium. Nice but not my style.

Poison (Eau de Toilette) - Dior / Christian Dior DorothyGrace 15 months ago

I recall who/where I first smelt Poison - so memorable. Rich, fruity plum, a discord of anise. It's had its heart reformulated out of it.+1

En Avion (Eau de Parfum) - Caron DorothyGrace 20 months ago

Can't find this listed on the Caron perfume website. Hope it hasn't been discontinued. Oh bother. I'll keep an eye on the discount sites.+1

Fresh & cool. Cedar? Amber. Very like an aftershave. Similar in style to Anarchiste (Caron). Not mint but something cool like mint.+2

What's eating me about all these reformulations is the fact that no matter how forwarned you might be, your forearm is going to be occasionally bitten. Thanks a million and welcome to Parfumo!
