Ajmal

Ajmal's Sacrifice is to me an improved version of Mugler's Alien for those who find the jasmine in Alien to be too indolic, heavy and headache inducing. Nothing in this fragrance is heavy- the water note keeps the jasmine light, despite...

Gardenia

Dirty that is clean

Do you know that patchouli that is dark, yet light? Dirty, yet clean? That patchouli is the king in Gardenia. In order of prominence, the notes I smell are: leather, patchouli, saffron, oud, oakmoss and florals. This perfume is quite difficult...

Musk mallow overpowers the jasmine note, cedarwood is nowhere to be found. Alas, this is no beauty, just headache inducing!

No dark rose here, this is a fragrance that meets halfway between Paco Rabanne's Olympéa and Olympéa intense.

Scent

Inspired by Erba pura but less sweet and more tolerable. It is oily, potent, and there is no synthetic quality to the fragrance.

Erba pura DNA- juicy fruits, melon, sweet citruses & vanilla. Very long lasting and potent. Beautiful in all seasons.

The epitome of French chicness. There's nothing sweet about this dance of mimosa, lilac, rose, hyacinth and galbanum.

Fresh lime, sweet pear, vanilla and creamy nuttiness from the almond note. Simple and delightful for those uncomplicated days. Addictive!

Lily, rose, musk, peony and a bit of magnolia calling for attention. Lily of the valley in the opening, but musky in dry down.

Sweetness, roses and vanilla. A simple scent without much fragrance development. Needs to macerate for a while before using.
