The latest Perfume Reviews

This is the first Xerjoff I've owned. I had previously tested a friend's 40 Knots. What can I say... The first spray on my skin was shocking at first: so spicy and dry. After a few minutes, the picture changed and a pleasant residual spice...

I didn't really have much knowledge about perfumes, I have often smelled good fragrances, but I have never felt and smelled anything as profound and touching as Black Afgano by Nasomatto. I was so obsessed one day when a friend came into the gym where...

Well of course it’s sweet, but it also has the tanginess of real honey, which keeps it from being saccharine or cutesy. The spiced notes are what really make it addictive for me. This is the warm-weather version of some of the wintry bakery scents I like,...

I think the reason I was initially underwhelmed by this one, feeling like it smelled like too many other things I’d smelled before, is that it has so much going on. The cherry and white florals stand out to me, resting on a bed of amber and vanilla....

I reached for this on a cool and rainy day. It’s definitely coffee shop more than coffee, the kind with wood slab tables. Maybe bar-restaurant though because my coffee is a little boozy. It’s got a faint touch of vanilla but not much...

Strolled straight into town and was rewarded, because the fragrance was still available. All the scents definitely come through, which I find extremely delicious. I want to drink it on the beach. This very light sweet floral note complements...

The fragrance reminds me of a sun cream. Elysium is my second fragrance from Roja. While the Isola Blu convinced me in terms of performance, the Elysium clearly lags behind for me. The citrus note barely comes through, very slightly afterwards...

Added the Gold to my collection. I wasn't such a big fan of Erba Pura (maybe because too many people are wearing it now). But the Erba Gold is different. Although it has lost a little of its H/S, it has gained a lot more. For one thing, it has less synthetics,...
