Amber Wood (Eau de Parfum) - Ajmal

Exemplary
This is a wonderful, wonderful amber wood, blended to perfection, rich and luxurious. Great sillage and projection. Nothing synthetic about it although I may have some blindspots because it also has a suspiciously good staying power. No competing facets,...

10 La Roue de La Fortune - Dolce & Gabbana

More feminine than unisex in traditional terms
This is a sweet floral with patchouli and benzoin making it feel somewhat classical. It's both lightweight in mood and sophisticated. There is nothing revolutionary about it. Yet it serves its purpose on the market....

Plain & simple: this is a very, very close dupe for NR For Her (the black bottle). Good for touch ups over the original or as a standalone.

It is a nice and classy inoffensive chypre with a delicate fruity twist for everyday wear. Not a statement, rather mellow, good for office,

One of the best of El Nabil. Smoky, woody, prominent vetiver.

Very similar to Oud Orient but a bit less sweet.

The pear makes it somewhat distantly similar to Hugo Boss Deep Red, but this one is drier and more sweet. The dry-down is quite fresh.

Very strong and sweet, quite intrusive to my nose. Also rightfully described as "synthetic-gourmand" here.

212 Men Pop! - Carolina Herrera - 15 months ago

I used to wear this a lot a few years ago and get so many compliments by females assuming it's a perfume "for women". Fresh and summery.

In the search of perfect composition. Why music is closer to perfumery than we might think.
I was never at ease with hunting perfume by the note. There are several reasons for it. Firstly, I am not familiar with every note out there (can anybody tell me where I could possibly test out the hyraceum note?) and even the ones I am familiar with can be split into two categories...

Hey Viv
first of all: Happy Parfumo-Birthday to you!!!!!!
It's nice to meet you here and I wish you the best in this forum.
Oh, that's very very nice. I am pleased about your great interest in music and perfume. Do you make music yourself? Or was it a spontaneous idea out of love for the world of fragrances?
Yes, the pictures of the bottles and also from my garden are my great passion besides the music.
A lovely evening,
Walti
