• Smell Bent Holiday 2010 Dr. Dreidel EDT Perfume Review

  Date: 2010.12.01 | Category: fragrance | Response: 9

  

  Happy Hanukkah! Thank you Smell Bent for not forgetting the Heebs! For Holiday 2010, Smell Bent has launched 5 limited edition scents. Dr. Dreidel is one of them. Dr. Dreidel is a spicy “green” scent. It’s heavy on angelica and clove-like pimento. It summons up the ancient spirit of...Drakkar Noir.

  I’m going to be blunt. I really don’t care for Dr. Dreidel. It’s a spicy, clove-like scent with “wet” cedar woods. It’s very masculine and a bit old-school. It’s hot and cold… Continue reading | 9 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Fou d’Absinthe EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2010.09.15 | Category: fragrance | Response: 11

  

  L’Artisan Parfumeur Fou d’Absinthe perfume is an herbaceous, foresty fragrance with spice. L’Artisan describes the fragrance as such
  Hot and cold, spicy and soft, Fou d’Absinthe is a perfume-paradox, olfactory craziness, an embodiment of absolute freedom of mind, of the desire to break taboos and to have courage to realize one’s most daring dreams. Inspired by absinthe, the decadent drink of choice of poets and artists, this addictive potion is an aromatic explosion of green, slightly bitter absinthe, tingling spirit of angelica and crispy blackcurrant buds. The hot-cold sensation is… Continue reading | 11 Comments

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Epices d’Hiver Parfum Review

  Date: 2009.12.21 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  This is an all natural fragrance that is in Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH “Gaia Perfume Collection”. This is as the name applies, a spicy fragrance. I really do like spicy fragrances but I think I have “low-brow” spicy fragrance tastes. I seem to always use Old Spice as my spice fragrance point of reference. Well, Èpices d’Hiver is spicy and citrusy like Old Spice but much more high-brow. At first it is a wonderful winter citrus explosion. You can smell bitter oranges, blood oranges, perfumey bergamot, and grapefruit. It… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Gingembre Perfume EDP Review

  Date: 2009.10.12 | Category: fragrance | Response: 2

  

  Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Gingembre is a perfect cool weather fragrance. I live in Washington, not just anywhere, around the Puguet Sound: Western Washington. We are known for our massive amounts of gloom and rain. For a closet goth and a mushroom hunter, this is paradise. I love the cooler, foggy,  seaside days. The rain is here just like clockwork starting on October 1st. It’s a bit chilly (50′s), cloudy, and rainy. If you’ve ever visited this area during the rainy season, then you know why we love our… Continue reading | 2 Comments
