Most reviewers say that this smells like roots and dirt in the opening. I don’t get that, probably because I’m not a gardener. What I get is a well-blended but spare mix of iris, incense, and...

I received a sample of this purple juice imagining it might smell a bit like flowers and incense, gothy with a hint of Catholic Church perhaps. I don't smell a single drop of any of it. Sadly, this...

This was supposed to be deep plum I added a little developer and my hair was the same color as before I started. I've called the company and they stated I wasn't supposed to add another product...

This is my compliment getter. Rather my comment getter. I always get asked what I'm wearing when I have this on (usually only December to March, definitely a cold-weather scent for me) I suppose...

I absolutely love this fragrance. It's intense, strong and can be overpowering. But at the right moment in time, it's fabulous. Arabie is a fragrance that I will say is "stronger than I am" so I...

This is a beautiful, dried flowers rose. I'm not so sure that dried flowers would be a good fragrance, but really, this is what this one smells to me. Dried rose petals. Just enough life that they...

This smells the way orange flavored jell-o tastes. I will never understand the big following. Artificial orange. There's nothing orange blossom/neroli going on here. What in the world am I...

I haven't had any luck with SL's fragrances (though I do appreciate their efforts, particularly regarding layered/complex fragrances and longevity). Fumerie Turque has that bit of body odor funk...

I admit I'm a big fan of vetiver in fragrance, and this doesn't disappoint. It differs from other vetivers in my collection (Guerlain Vetiver, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Diptyque Vetyverio, etc) in...

An Unfinished Masterpiece in Perfume History....

I agree with the reviewer who said that this is a love or hate fragrance. It was a blind buy for me (I'm adventurous) and I was a bit surprised at first. It is not your typical scent. It is quite...

This is an unusual perfume. I don't have anything quite like it in my collection. I like it, but I'll need to revise it again in the colder months, which I think it is better suited to. This is all...

Pleasant, easy, boring, to be honest. I definitely get the clean soapy vibe, this really does...

I have this in the newer bottle, so I cannot speak to the older one. This was a challenging fragrance for me. It took me a while to get into it. Now I'm in love. The fragrance features sandalwood,...
