• Aftelier Haute Claire EDP Natural Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.08.03 | Category: fragrance | Response: 15

  

  Aftelier Haute Claire is the newest fragrance in the Aftelier line. To read more about the inspiration and process of Haute Claire, check out Nathan Branch’s blog to view the letters between perfumers, Mandy Aftel and Liz Zorn. A few of us fumeheads and perfume bloggers  have said that we want a “creamy green” perfume. We like green but are sometimes turned off by its “coldness”. Well, here’s a “creamy green” perfume that surpasses anything my little non-perfumer brain could ever imagine.

  Galbanum – this… Continue reading | 15 Comments

  Mainstream Monday – Sniffing A Popular Perfume

  Yves Rocher Thé Vert/Green Tea Eau de Cologne is one of those energizing citrus scents done in that screechy super clean and fresh 1990′s style. Thé Vert is lemony, unisex green floral that reminds me of other “green tea” fragrances.

  Thé Vert is mainly bergamot and lemon and orange “zest”. I detect a hint of cool mint and a… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Anya’s Garden Kaffir Natural Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.04.19 | Category: fragrance | Response: 7

  

  Anya’s Garden Kaffir is a natural perfume with interesting notes of lime leaves, herbs, woods, and leather that gives it an old-fashioned feel. They don’t make ‘em like they used to, right? Well, no, they do. We have to find them! This is one of the few unisex leather fragrances that I know of that will work in the summer! It’s sheer and green with a warm base; it could work in any climate. I had no idea that leather and lime are… Continue reading | 7 Comments

• Tom Ford Private Blend Italian Cypress EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.04.05 | Category: fragrance | Response: 4

  

  Tom Ford Private Blend Italian Cypress is dry woodsy fragrance with herbaceous and spicy notes. It’s dry, woodsy, and smoky. It’s a bit antiquarian. It reminds me of being in an 19th century study: polished woods, leather bound encyclopedias, and a cup of hot herbal tea.

  The opening is herbaceous and masculine. I get Earl Grey bergamot citrus with dried mint, like a bergamot mint tea. I get old-fashioned dry mosses. There’s a bit of clove spice in all the dried greens. This makes the fragrance feel… Continue reading | 4 Comments

• Smell Bent Mots Verts EDT Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.04.02 | Category: fragrance | Response: 5

  

  Mots Verts is a limited edition fragrance in Smell Bent’s Radiodada 2011 Spring Fragrance Collection. Mots Verts (Risqué Puns) is really a surreal perfume. It’s a strange but wearable mix of crisp greens and creamy vanilla. I’m reviewing the EDT, a perfume oil is also available.

  At first, Mots Verts is a bit swampy. I can tell that it is green but it almost verges on damp compost because it isn’t “clean green”. I get something tart and… Continue reading | 5 Comments
