• BLOOD Concept A EDP Perfume Review

  Date: 2011.12.04 | Category: fragrance | Response: 12

  

  BLOOD Concept is a concept perfume line out of Italy. Yes, it’s based on blood types. Eventually, I’ll get to reviewing all of the “perfumes” in this line. I’m going to spoil my opinion for you with my first review. I’m terrible at being suspenseful.

  My first response to A on me skin was a loud “ewwwe” of disgust that caused The Smooshed Face League, my dogs, to jump. I startled the frugs. Concept smells like Bonne Bell Lip Smackers Watermelon Lip Balm and… Continue reading | 12 Comments

• Montale Black Aoud EDP Perfume Video Review

  Date: 2011.11.26 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 7

  Montale Black Aoud is another rose oud fragrance going for that exotic harem image. Excuse me, but isn’t that the entire point of Montale?  Being that I tend to like Orientalist perfumes, I had to give Black Aoud a try. I do like it even though it’s less heavy on the woods. Black Aoud should of been named Black Rose. Regardless, it’s “noir” and I like it.

  

  Black Aoud wears very rose on me. It reminds me of many of the unlabeled rose oils… Continue reading | 7 Comments

• Atelier Vanille Insensee Cologne Fragrance Review

  Date: 2011.11.19 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 6

  Vanille Insensée (Insane Vanilla in French) sounds like a woody vanilla if you go by the notes alone. But, in reality Vanille Insensée is a sheer vanilla that verges on “clean” and is very modern and casual. This is one of those vanillas that one could technically wear in the summer. I don’t know may “sheer vanillas”.

  

  Vanille Insensée opens up as  vanilla. It’s creamy and dreamy but there is something else there. That something reminds me of the spicy freshness of… Continue reading | 6 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Couer de Vetiver Sacre EDT Review

  Date: 2011.11.08 | Category: fragrance | Response: 2

  

  I should love L’Artisan Parfumeur Couer de Vétiver Sacré but I don’t. Perhaps this is a “me dysfunction” and I will explain this later. There’s nothing wrong with the fragrance and it has many notes that I love. I’ve tried to fall in love with it, but I haven’t.

  Couer de Vétiver Sacré opens with some smokiness that reminds me of gunpowder black tea with the faintest amount of sweet orange oil. I then get chewy dried fruits, especially apricot, with exotic spices… Continue reading | 2 Comments

• Caron Royal Bain de Caron EDT Perfume Video Review

  Date: 2011.08.20 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 4

  I’ve been through a few bottles of Caron Royal Bain de Caron in my time. Why? Because it’s a bath fragrance. I use way too much in a bath, I use it liberally as a splash. Yes, I literally bathe in the stuff. I hear that the modern version varies greatly from the original. Don’t they all? And if you want to know what the original Royal Bain de Caron smells like, try Kenzo Flower. This is what I hear.
