• i Profumi di Firenze Limone di Sicilia EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.08.17 | Category: fragrance | Response: 8

  

  When life hands you lemons…you make a niche perfume. Or at least that is what i Profumi di Firenze did.

  If you want a fragrance that smells exactly like Lemonheads, here you go. I don’t mean this in a negative way. Hey, even Lemonheads have real lemon juice in them! Limone di Sicilia smells sour but a little sweet just like lemon candies. However, with time Limone di Sicilia intensifies and really does remind me EXACTLY of lemon peel. And… Continue reading | 8 Comments

• Mona di Orio Lux EDP Perfume Video Review

  Date: 2011.08.06 | Category: fragrance | Response: 22

  Want to smell like a fallen angel? Well, here you go.

  

  Mona di Orio Lux is the skankiest citrus that I know of. It opens as a dazzling lemon with lemongrass and grassy vetiver. It’s bright and shining. This top lasts longer than I would expect from a citrus perfume. It then becomes this delicious lemon bar. Tart and sweet with vanilla and a toasted sugar, very comforting and very much like Guerlain Shalimar. Lux takes a “fall” and you get this civet… Continue reading | 22 Comments

• Anya’s Garden Light Natural Perfume Review

  If you read EauMG regularly, you know I don’t really care for citrus perfumes. They don’t hold my attention. I tend to like more old-fashioned eau de cologne masculines because they last longer on my skin. So, I didn’t know what to expect when sampling Anya’s Garden Light. Here I am, a person that likes “heavy” fragrances and I don’t like citrus. Well, maybe I do like citrus and I’ve tried all of the “wrong” ones. I’m impressed with Anya’s Garden Light. This is a… Continue reading | 8 Comments

• Penhaligon’s Extract of Limes EDT Fragrance Review

  Date: 2011.07.12 | Category: fragrance | Response: 3

  

  Penhaligon’s Extract of Limes was first launched in 1963 when “real” men were meant to smell like limes. Seriously, all colognes of the 1960′s were lime based. Anyways, Extract of Limes was relaunched in 2009 in the Anthology Collection because I suppose, people wanted to smell like limes again. Even ladies.

  Extract of Limes opens up with a BAM of lemon and lime. It’s effervescent tart citrus. When I smell it far away, it reminds me of lime Perrier, up close, I get… Continue reading | 3 Comments

• Mistral Grapefruit Red Currant EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.06.23 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  Mistral Grapefruit Red Currant or “Pamplemousse” is described as “a lively, uplifting citrus fragrance“. Grapefruit Red Currant is a tart fruity-citrus fragrance with transparent florals.

  Mistral Grapefruit Red Currant opens with grapefruit and tangy red currants. It does become floral. I get soft lemon blossom and an anemic jasmine. It’s a “light” floral but sharp. I can barely smell it on me at all. It’s gone within 10 minutes, but you guys have heard that my skin loves to “eat” citrus… Continue reading | 4 Comments
