Brickell · ALT.
This is inspired by (or a dupe of) Wall Street by Bond No. 9 New York. I haven't smelled the original to compare, but this one is fantastic. It's one of the most refreshing fragrances I've smelled in
Xathaneal
Novel · ALT.
This fragrance was created with inspiration from (or as a dupe of) Whispers in the Library by Replica. I've never smelled the one this is based off of, but I absolutely love Novel by ALT. Between the

Hareem Al Sultan Gold · Khadlaj Perfumes
When I wear this I feel like I'm a goddess among men, draped in finery and jewels, eating fresh fruit and surrounded by abundance. It's fruity, sweet, enticing, while the sandalwood, patchouli, and

Mortality's Echo · Romass
On initial spraying, I'm hit with cherry, a slightly less intense chocolate, but above all alcohol. Not the odor of raw alcohol per se; it's the smell you get if you raise a glass and linger too long

Nawab of Oudh Intensivo · Ormonde Jayne
Words can't describe how fantastic this stuff is. One of the most complex, intricate, yet versatile and mass-appealing fragrances ever made. The opening a refreshing, but gentle mix of citrus, with

Rive Gauche · Yves Saint Laurent
This is very hyped and I do not care for it. I tried to like a bottle, gave it away. I inherited a 20mL travel spray and I tried it again. No. The smell: Powdery rose with no personality. This is so

Bourbon · Hendley Perfumes
I heard about Hans Hendley’s work after he won an Art and Olfaction award for his fragrance, Amora, back in 2016. I immediately picked it up along with Rosenthal and Bourbon. The instant I smelled

Santal Calling · Ex Nihilo
Santal Calling is a gentle, powdery, slightly sweet and creamy musk and sandalwood scent. The hint of nutmeg is fantastic in this one. Not too strong, not too spicy, but just gives it that little

Santal Blush · Tom Ford
Santal Blush has always been one of my go to’s. it’s definitely not your standard sandalwood. Right off the bat, you get hit with a dry, warm spice blast with the slight cinnamon and carrot seed. it

Incident Diplomatique · Jovoy Paris
Now this is my kind of vetiver: dark, smoky, and brooding. I picture a quiet man sitting alone in a shadowed bar long past closing, deep in thought, planning his next move. It didn’t click with me at

Iris Debonair · Creed
Pulled my original review of this. It was a first impression dressed up as a review, and the central claim in it was wrong: I had this filed as a Dior Homme Intense relative. It isn't. It isn't

1725 · Histoires de Parfums
I wanted to try a fougere, and this one has a dashing name, so it was a no-brainer of whether I need to sample it. I absolutely did. The idea of this perfume is to evoke an image of Giacomo Casanova

Pêche Mirage · Guerlain
A soft powdery peach. I like that it isn't strong and in your face like a peach cobbler. I don't get the leather, but the Sandalwood. The amber is what is warming this scent really. I hate saffron
Alaric
Xclusif Oud Single Malt Whiskey · Orientica
First impression: mostly orange and oud, with an alcohol-forward hint, and surprisingly the smell of new electronics, fresh out of the box, powered up for the first time. This isn't a bad thing, and

Saharet · Blocki
Blocki got some good press a few years ago, but I haven't heard much about them since. My two favorites from their house are Sanrovia and Saharet. Today I'm wearing Saharet. Where Sanrovia is the

Well Loved · Influxious
I love this. The apricot gives it a really soft sweetness, and then the shea butter is rich and comforting and a little bit nutty. I’ve never smelled anything like this before! The longevity is not

Dearest Graceful Hydrangea · Bridgerton Parfums
I love Bridgerton and hydrangeas! When I see anything hydrangea, I think of my Dad because we had them in our yard when I was growing up, and when he passed away, they were all in full bloom and

Versace Man Eau Fraiche · Versace
This was the first perfume I bought as an adult (I picked up Escada pour Homme in college nearly 25 years prior). It started me in the hobby and became foundational for me after my best friend told

Aromatics Elixir · Clinique
Aromatics Elixir is marketed by Clinique as an “intriguing non-conformist fragrance." Chandler Burr writes of its depth and shadows, and it's described by many reviewers as "a chypre on steroids." I

Top 5 fragrance here: This is the cream of the crop, my 1989 bottle of EDP (in linked pic is a backup) is the most prized possession next to my Cuir de Russie by Chanel and Farnesiana by Caron. The

This is my signature scent so I really need to do this girl justice! Half of me wants to say this fragrance is terrible so that I'm the only one who will wear it, it's that good. Bit of an "oatmeal

Cutie Pear · Valmont
I only own one pear scent (the beautifully contemplative Studied by Liis). I thought it would be nice to have a fresher, sunnier iteration of the note, so I picked up a sample of this based on the

Smells like a coffee with chocolate and a bit of syrup on your breakfast. This often gets compared to New Haarlem from Bond No 9, though I prefer this. Its an eau de cologne, so it doesnt have good
