Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant EDP Perfume Review

16 days ago by Victoria

Annick Goutal Encens Flamboyant is a perfume that is meant to conjure up Eastern Orthodox churches – icons lining the walls, colorful hues on your skin from sunlight and stained glass; churches filled with incense smoke and chants. This fragrance does conjure up this environment, but as a person tha ...

Caron Le 3ème Homme/The Third Man EDT Fragrance Video Review

34 days ago by Victoria

Video youtube video

Caron 3ème Homme merges two of my interests – perfume and film noir. And not just any perfume, 80′s masculines, a “genre” that I adore. Caron 3ème Homme is inspired by The Third Man, a late 1940′s British film noir by Carol Reed. This film is one that some say “epitomizes” the genre and it has a str ...

“Molecular recognition is arguably the fundamental mechanism of all life… The only variable is time.” —Chandler Burr, The Emperor of Scent I like to read the Missed Connections ads on Craigslist. In these ads, clusters of molecules reach out to other clusters of molecules they have glimpsed, tasted, ...

Annick Goutal Eau de Charlotte EDT Fragrance Review

86 days ago by Ajent Orange

Annick Goutal created Eau de Charlotte for her step-daughter, Charlotte. It’s meant to be jammy, “young” and casual. But, I don’t know what it is supposed to be on my skin. Eau De Charlotte smells so weird on me. I hate to say it, in fact, I can’t believe I’m going to say it, but I’m reminded of bug ...

Divine by Divine EDP Perfume Review

93 days ago by Ajent Orange

Divine Divine is a perfume that wears you. This is perfume. It smells like perfume. It wasn’t created to smell like a Mediterranean holiday or exotic trade spice routes.

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Fleur des Comores EDT Fragrance Review

156 days ago by Ajent Orange

Maitre Parfumeu et Gantier Fleur des Comores is a tropical custard of banana-like white florals, overripe fruits and creamy vanilla. It’s more than another gourmand fruity-floral. This fragrance captures the realness of black currant and passionfruit, adding a musky-fruit atmosphere that makes this ...

Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 EDP Perfume Video Review

161 days ago by Ajent Orange

Video youtube video

Serge Lutens Borneo 1834 – best patchouli perfume ever. This should be my review and it very much could be, but you know me. I can’t shut up. So here’s my review of the best patchouli perfume. Borneo opens up as a camphoric patchouli, slightly medicinal. It’s less “dirty” or “earthy” than patchouli ...

Annick Goutal La Violette EDT Fragrance Review

198 days ago by Ajent Orange

Annick Goutal La Violette is a violet soliflore. It’s feminine, floral, and sweet. It reminds me of so many things that make me happy: Choward’s Violet Mints, mild weather, and fancy French cosmetics. This is my favorite violet soliflore ever. There isn’t much to La Violette. If you are familiar wit ...
