    So I read some rave reviews on this one somewhere (no idea where), but all I'm getting is a ton of roots and bark with a tad smidgen of iris-rose. It's VERY earthy. If you primarily enjoy earthy...

    I didn’t love this at first sniff and I still don’t love it after a hundred sniffs, but I think I’m getting closer to understanding why I don’t love it. It’s the birch tar that drowns the other...

    Opened a bit spicy, like a less-disturbing version of Iris Silver Mist. There was a weird sweet note in the middle--not floral, more vanillic--that didn't go well with the rest of the fragrance....

    Unless I got a wrong sample, I smell mainly a smokey incense in this fragrance. Really, it is a cousin of Messe de Minuit...Orris is warmer, though; it seems to be in a Church in a ceremony where...

    Straight out of the bottle, this smells like something you would preserve a mummy with... and I love it. It's my most treasured perfume and was sent to me by a very dear MUAer. As basia,...

    This is one scent that is way over-hyped, IMO. It is extremely sharp, bitter, and loud. I admit, I fell for the hype and bought it unsniffed. It starts out with a strong leather note that I find...

    Prior reviewers are correct in stating that the initial blast is enough to make you go running for the ivory soap, but wait. About 15 minutes later, a lovely & clean scent emerges. It isn't an...

    I frankly adore Andy Tauer's other scents, but even such a master perfumer could not create a black leather that works with my skin. The note has a tendency to dominate and smother on my skin, and...

    I really hope that Andy decides to make this a regular in his collection because it's just too beautiful to be an LE. Orris is a dark, moody yet feminine scent. It opens with a dirty orris-rose...

    In the library of the Strahov monastery in Prague (a place I fondly and fervently wish they'd forget to check and lock me in over night. Or even better, over a long weekend), where the bookrooms...

    Andy very kindly sent me a sample of this (very) limited edition, and I am utterly stunned by it. It starts out with a roar of leather (birchtar, apparently), and then softens quite suddenly into...
