  Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

  Dear CAHS,

  Oh, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, what an unfortunate name! You’ll never attract any snobby perfume lover with a name like that! And to make matters even worse, you’re not Allure Homme Sport EDT, you’re even sportier and “fresher” with the title Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport! Fans of classic Chanel perfumes will never try you. And those wanting a typical “sporty” American fragrance won’t like you either. And you have “homme” in your title

• Hermes Voyage d’Hermes EDT Fragrance Review

  Date: 2011.01.24 | Category: fragrance | Response: 9

  

  Hermes Voyage d’Hermes EDT is a fresh unisex fragrance with aquatic, green, and woodsy notes. It’s like a “generic” version of a Hermès fragrance. I sniff it and throughout its wear, it reminds me of a montage of all of the lighter unisex Hermès fragrances.

  At first I get a blast of citrus that is grapefruit in a pretty way. It reminds me of Hermès Eau de Pamplemousse Rose becuase it’s citrus but more on the feminine end of the spectrum. It has… Continue reading | 9 Comments

• Penhaligons Castile EDT Fragrance Review

  I knew that I loved Penhaligons Castile at the first spritz. Penhaligons is a beautiful, refreshing orange blossom cologne. An elegant and well-crafted neroli. It isn’t ground-breaking but it is a wonderful example of a very wearable citrus floral cologne.

  The opening of Castile is triumphant. It’s bitter neroli with enough greenness to remind one of sunny, early summer days before it’s too steamy hot. Wearing Castile is like being under a shade tree. To say it in the fewest words possible, the… Continue reading | 17 Comments

• Prada Infusion d’Iris EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2010.11.15 | Category: fragrance | Response: 10

  

  I like iris scents. Does my collection need another? Most would say “no”. But, There is something about Prada Infusion d’Iris that is unlike the other iris scents in my fragrance wardrobe. I typically go for dark/cold/metallic iris or a foody/gourmand iris with violets. Prada Infusion d’Iris is neither.

  At first (when it was launched), I disliked Infusion d’Iris EDP and I didn’t see what the fuss was about. This is why I never tried it on my skin at the store and left the blotter card… Continue reading | 10 Comments

• Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au The Blanc (White Tea) EDT Fragrance Review

  Mainstream Monday: Sniffing A Popular Fragrance

  Bvlgari Eau Parfumee au Thé Blanc or White Tea is a light-wearing clean synthetic musk fragrance. Bvlgari Thé Blanc is an unadulterated perfume. It is clean, fresh white musk with crisp, citrusy white tea.

  Bvlgari Thé Blanc is crisp and it comes across as very synthetic. I don’t mean synthetic as an insult. I mean that it is one of those “modern” fragrances that’s so clean and crisp. There is no dirtiness to it. It’s a unisex fragrance and it lacks all florals… Continue reading | 9 Comments
