Guerlain Homme Intense EDP Perfume Video Review

December 5, 2011

 Mainstream Monday – Sniffing a Popular Perfume

After the success of Guerlain Homme, the world was given Guerlain Homme Intense. It’s the same idea but it’s supposed to have more depth and last longer, blah, blah. It’s not a bad fragrance but it isn’t a good Guerlain. Maybe I’m just being harsh like the top notes of this fragrance.

Guerlain Homme Intense EDP

Homme Intense opens with a minty freshness and garden greens. It’s very sharp and harsh in my opinion. It… Continue reading | 3 Comments

Halston Z-14 Cologne Fragrance Video Review

September 5, 2011

Mainstream Monday: Sniffing a Popular Fragrance

Launched in 1976, Z-14 is a fragrance that contains every note in the universe. It’s loud and it throws. Because of this, it’s a polarizing fragrance. You either love or hate it. Or love it 50% of the time and hate it the rest of the time. I’m in the “love” team of Z-14. It’s a wonderful manly scent, very Boogie Nights, a perfume on the prowl in a discotheque.

Lacoste Pour Homme EDT

Mainstream Monday – Sniffing A Popular Perfume

This is an EDT/mainstream men’s fragrance, so the alcohol content is high. At first spritz, I’m reminded of an alcoholic, his preference is rum and gin, and he oversprays himself in boring, generic aquatic-apple… Continue reading | 9 Comments

Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet Man EDT Men’s Fragrance Review

January 17, 2011

The Mainstream Monday: Sniffing a Popular Perfume

All I know of Paco Rabanne is that he is the designer that designed all those bizzare-o Barbarella costumes. Well, the guy has many perfumes and colognes as well, the most recent one to have 15 minutes of fame has been Lady Million (ick). Paco Rabanne fragrances aren’t very popular in the U.S. In fact, until recently, I thought they were only sold in the U.K.! Anyways, Ultraviolet Man is a bit sci-fi. Imagine… Continue reading | 9 Comments

NEW: Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH Cuir et Champignon EDP

November 14, 2010

Parfums des Beaux Arts by DSH has recently launched Cuir et Champignon EDP (leather and mushroom), a limited edition perfume. From the notes listed, this sounds like my dream perfume. You guys know I love mushrooms and I’ve been searching for the perfect mushroom perfume. For many years, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has been working on the concept of a mushroom perfume. I really don’t know why mushroom notes aren’t used more frequently in perfume, but anyways… I’m delighted that DSH’s concept is now… Continue reading | 1 Comment
