    Why do they say on their site that the perfumes are made of natural ingredients when there's Lilial in the composition (butylphenyl methylpropional)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilial Also,...

    Finally, after many years of being a Perfumista, I had the opportunity to sniff and wear Etro's Messe de Minuit. I was surprised. I had read many a review of MdM and many references to dank, mouldy...

    The first time I tried Etro Messe de Minuit, I was discouraged by the SA, who vehemently said: “uh, you may not like this, it smells like a graveyard”. True? Maybe. It is hollow, cold and somber,...

    This is straight up Roman Catholic mass in a bottle. I expected something along the lines of Passage d'Enfer or Avignon, incense, smoke, cool stone, the suggestion of an old cathedral; but in terms...

    There is incense, yes, but it is hiding behind the smell of the day-old pee-soaked diaper you forgot to take out of the diaper bag, powdery and sour.

    This is a hard one because this is another frag which has seriously suffered thru reformulation. And considering that my time from sampling to first FB was only about 12 months! I had to scour the...

    I had gotten myself a sample of Messe de Minuit for Christmas, and it’s really taken me almost 3 months to make up my mind about it. I was insistently attempting to smell something that I...

    Yes, there's incense, but not the cathedral kind -- the spooky castle crypt kind, combined with spice and a hint of unsettling musk. I think this might be the most Goth fragrance I've ever...

    My review is based on a sample decant. I have not purchased a full sized bottle of this yet, however, it is on my wish list. I received this sample in a set of decants. I previously had no...

    Okay, I got samples through Aedes so it only put me out $15, but still... this did not scream gothic or anything along those lines to me, all I got was INCENSE.. powdery incense.. Shalimar on...

    I do not find this a particularly gothic or dark scent (but then again, I don't find Avignon overly dark either). This much more makes me think of Midnight Mass in terms of oranges and spice;...

    I swapped for a decant and wonder if something's wrong with this, or with my nose. To me, it smells rather like a flat Coke, with a heaping of ordinary dust. I do like Coke, but this isn't what I...

    Very interesting frag, but weird at the same time. Let me say for a start, that the ones that are deemed to be the basenotes came stright and upfront to my nostrils: it was a blast of cinnamon...

    Whew! This really does smell like the damp, moldy crypt of a medieval church. I can smell the damp pages of old books and the residue of centuries of incense. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D-minor is...

    I wanted to try this scent for a long time. All of the wonderful descriptions of monks and libraries really piqued my curiosity. I recently swapped for it and received a decant. Now, I am by no...

    It does have a scent that can easily be interpreted as mildew. If you take a handful of raw myrrh resin and press it to your nose, you'll detect the same notes. On my skin, this smells exactly like...

    Whether Messe is sweet and sparkling or musty and dank depends on how your skin interprets ambrette. Perfumers use ambrette seeds (also called musk mallow) as a substitute for animal musk. The...

    I smell the myrrhe, amber, and citrus. I do not detect any vanilla. Some said they can't smell the amber but that is because it is in a wrestling match with the myrrhe. The myrrhe wins and...
