by ScentFan | Perfumes & Brands

Weekly Scent Discussion #9: How do you love your rose?
...of patchouli. Has a rather cool/reserved aura, almost austere. Anna Wintour in a bottle :-)"Coco" by Chanel --> Peppery and sexy, warm, glowing with sensuality. A classic, one of my all-time staples."Knowing" by Estee Lauder --> Chypre, dark, mysterious, Titania´s realm as a perfume. Masterpiece, I would... I would not want to ever be without it."Very irresistible L´Intense" by Givenchy --> Fruity-floral, gothic girl between teen and grown-up, soft and sensual. Plum lingers in the background. I have worn it on and off for some time, actually I enjoy this one more than I admit :-)"Vengeance Extreme" by...

by MichVaillant | Perfumes & Brands
...I think women could wear both of these.Man! I saw the title of this topic, and the first fragrance that lit up inside my head was Ungaro II with its sensual creamy texture.

Which fragrance would Mr. President wear?
by Apicius | Parfumo Community
...the German president Joachim Gauck was a protestant clergyman. If we count in the clichée that Protestantism in general is not very fond of sensual pleasures I guess he'd probably stick to whatever mainstream fragrance he got as a Christmas present. Maybe Terre d'Hermès...

...that Anne Klein II belongs among them. It is a grand perfume, breathtaking in its lush beauty, fresh because of its citrus and green notes, yet sensual. The vanilla note is strong but not overwhelming. It’s a fine example of the big perfumes of the 80’s. My eyes close when I smell it and I am...

It’s a sensual note, sweet and honeyed, a bit leathery, a bit woody, a tad like incense, but overall radiantly warm. Blend with bergamot, jasmine, musk and vanilla...

Naked is so sensual with its woody and musky tones, it offers a thick heady scent from Madonna. Hers is sweeter, while I found Cavalli to be more dry and have more of a...
