darkness into the light! One of my favorite cold weather scents, pure magic from the house of @histoiresdeparfums "Fidelis"If you like rose-oud combinations, this one will leave you begging for more.Beautiful opening with bit of a raspberry tartness and saffron with jammy rose and hint of woody smoke and not so cuminy intensive cumin while cardamom and coffee dance in the background. It's dense, dark...

me. I have the bottle reformulated with the plastic cap and believe it or not; this is lighter and smoother than expected. It is suffering from poor longevity on my skin. There is a lot of alcohol, and the scent is very subtle and too diluted. It’s a shame because the overall aroma is a very tart, manly, super sexy smell! I wish I could get something dirtier, more skanky and a little...

a beautiful amber color like fine cognacs. The rating makes me think about an underrated fragrance, probably because it is a drugstore scent, and once was so omnipresent.Back to the fragrance, Charlie is a bitter green-floral chypre, full of citrus, aldehydes, blossoms, and moss. And today, it's far better on a man than a woman, at least the batch I own. The opening is full and deep in aldehydes,...

ready for another hospital trip, I was having a pre-trip pleasurable sniff of a gorgeous rose which may just become my new rose. I will have to compare it side by side again with Bvlgari Desiria which I have been eying for a while but I am not test convinced that it deserves the super high price tag, In this case double the price. Can we put a price on this immense pleasure we get from fragrances,...

of him, vibrant and alive. One memory I hold close to my heart is the night he and I went to a party. We spent the night laughing and dancing. We held each other close, so close his Chrome lingered on my party dress. When Martin and I no longer spoke Chrome brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. Chrome will continue to provoke this response in me, more so than before. But I suppose...

amp; Spicy Notes.Heart Notes: Woody Notes, Amber & Incense.Base Notes: Myrrh, Sandal & Ambergris. It looks a lot like the previous Church Incense, but, this time, much more resinous and sweet, and like the previous one, it is a deep, dense and dark perfume, although this one, a tad brighter than the previous one, and another great aroma of incense that elevates your spirit. The duration...

purpose, no meaning other than staying alive. And it was only when I stopped fighting against drowning and gave in to the waves, that I suddenly found myself washed ashore on a piece of land, so beautiful, so exciting, yet so peaceful. I lay down in the warm sand and let the sun above me dry every tear, even the ones I had never managed to cry. Nothing hurt anymore, in fact, nothing...

smell of my dad's shed is no more; he gave up his hobbies as arthritis and dementia took hold; refusing all help (because he wasn't stupid, and you're my daughter and it's for you to do as I say, and are you saying I'm useless - he became so confrontational and aggressive, and as he was pretty far gone by the time dementia was diagnosed no-one had any idea why he was like it nor how to deal...

10 years ago, if you wanted to wear vintage style, you had to wear original vintage clothing. But today there is a new industry producing reproductions of old fabrics and patterns. There are dozens and dozens of new companies that make clothes in retro style. Why has not any perfume manufacturer targeted this market? Maybe it should...

accord that it would provide, but love the spicy cardamom smell. which you probably know as a sweet sandalwood/cedar-like smell. Performances are in the average, the best wearing season is a cold one, winter. It is a whole day and evening scent, for men of any age and woman who likes masculine-targeted scents.Smooth, Sexy and Safe JoyOk... Metallic Spirit is a must try. It is fresh,...

take a look at my 'collection' I've tried with United Dreams, Le Beau Male (which I love but is terrible in performance), Light Blue Eau Intense and Boss Unlimited, Cool Water and Invictus Aqua (which is the closest to what I'm aiming for). I do own a Acqua di Gio Profumo and I think is a super star but I'drather save it for special ocassions like a brunch or a morning activity with friends...
