Keiko Mecheri - reformulations?
by NorthernSky | Perfumes & Brands
...the new, 100ml clear bottle. Barely smelled anything at all, I had to spray around 10 sprays and stick my nose close to my wrist, and barely got any peach at all, it smelled more like a weak shampoo. Was it a badly kept tester, or did the scents overgo some tragic reformulation...

Sniff Fest - Gardenias
...Untl then, forging ahead alphabetically.AmouageCiel WomanGardenia is muted in this lovely perfume, lightened by cyclamen next to it in the top and peach in the heart. For me, water lily in the heart is not consistently lovely and now and then changes the flower-water feel of this fragrance to a little...

Sniff Fest - Learning Chypre
...the drydown when it’s a skin scent.MischiefMischief is more interesting. It also has a citrus top and a mostly floral heart with the addition of peach. With galbanum standing in for labdanum, clove and violet leaf added, the animalic/woody/vanilla base is more effective. Unlike Enslaved, this... osthmanthus. Yasmin asks to sniff osthmanthus from my perfumery notes kit—ah, yes, it’s a bright and fragrant floral halfway between apricot and peach, if perhaps more powerful. Also immortelle, the everlasting flower (wait, wonder if that would work on a face?), lends its danker sweetness to the...

Sniff Fest - Learning Chypre
...must engage in a great deal more sniffing. “You speak as if this is a problem,” she says and winks. Back to Mitsuoko. Take Chypre de Coty, add peach, lilac and ylang ylang, replace the civet with ambergris and remove the labdanum. We are no longer in the land of Chypre de Coty’s hypnotic...

Sniff Fest - Serge Lutens
by ScentFan | Perfumes & Brands
...cedar, not the scratchy, screeching kind. No doubt the divine accompaniments help: his gorgeous beeswax/honey/musk accord, this time with cardamom; peach, plum and a number of florals; vanilla and cinnamon. This is a cedar good enough to eat. It’s too subtle for me, but it’s another good one...

Sniff Fest - Serge Lutens
by ScentFan | Perfumes & Brands
...joined shortly by a note not listed in our database that to me smells like cumin or another one of those spices found in curry. Can apricot, fig, peach and plum alone create it? Perhaps. Oh, it might be the cedarwood doing this. In spite of the clearly detectable fruit, this isn’t a sweet scent...

Weekly Scent Discussion #9: How do you love your rose?
...She's one of the most used and well loved (and hated) notes in the realm of perfumes. Everyone has their favorites. Some like it sweetened by peach, or tangy with Ylang-ylang, others want it heavy with incense or buried in amber. Many "rose" perfumes blend together for me, but there are a few... to vocalize why I have this preference (perhaps it's because I've been awake for almost 45 hours). My favorite rose pairing would have to be with peach (think the vintage Tresor by Lancôme) and ylang -ylang (think Lust by Lush). Though a rich incense and rose is lovely too.For most unique use of...

...so over the top green and herbaceous- it has blown some SA's minds... what always works- and it is ironic since I am allergic to the actual fruit is Peaches/ Nectarines (?!). Petigrain, Cyclamen and Vetiver are equally poor on my skin. The biggest stars are Galbanum, Cardamom, Hinoki and anything in the...
