Under The Lemon Tree · Maison Margiela
This fragrance could’ve been everything its name promised - citrusy, bright, fresh, slightly woody. The opening is nice, but unfortunately the sticky resinous drydown is not it for me (my nose picks

Naki · Pernoire
Wow, upon first spray I already knew this was going to be something special! Naki opens up with a gorgeous, freshly picked green fig leaf and crisp white peach, with just a touch of citrusy aldehydes

Neroli Blush · Marks & Spencer
I got a little discovery set with 5 of this collection in, and I’d say this and Under the Palms are my two favourites by far. The neroli in this is very nice, warm and appealing, but even before that

No.5: Aegean Rose · Marks & Spencer
Initially I didn’t know why this was called Aegean rose because there isn’t actually any rose in the notes, but it does according to the website have rose oil in it. Most of my rose perfumes are

No.4: Under the Palms · Marks & Spencer
When I saw the notes I was very sceptical, because I am often disappointed by coconut and lactonic notes, and this has both. And yet… I’m into it! The citrus and neroli opening is lovely, and

No.3: Coastal Breeze · Marks & Spencer
This comes across a little bit cold to me - which is likely the cucumber and watermelon. There’s honeysuckle and hyacinth are strong and a little astringent. Altogether it’s nice, and I think it

Fruit Thieves · Paraphrase
I have hunted for a true passionfruit scent for years. All of them were synthetic smelled or just overwhelmed by other notes. Enter Fruit Thieves. This is the straight up pulp of the passionfruit

SHAGHAF OUD CPO · Swiss Arabian
Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud CPO is one of those inexpensive Middle Eastern fragrance oils that feels far more complex than its price suggests. It's an excellent choice if you enjoy sweet scents with a

Sycomore (2008) · Chanel
Sycomore is a fragrant chorus of cool autumn foliage, rich, mossy soil; soft smoke, and damp greenery. All the best smells of a forest ramble in late October with the promise of winter heard in the

Arpège · Lanvin
Arpeggio is the translation for Arpège. For those not musically inclined, listen to that Bach piece. The ascending and descending notes are arpeggios. That’s the whole piece. Rather neat. The Eau de

H24 Eau de Parfum · Hermès
The opening is a bit weird. I get strong weed impressions. However, the drydown becomes very herbal, calming and somewhat meditative scent. For some reason, it reminds me strongly of lindens tea.

Babycat · Yves Saint Laurent
Smelt this in Geneva Airport last month alongside the other YSL private lines and was blown away. Picked up a bottle online as soon as I got home. Have worn it a couple times and can confidently say

Bowmakers · D.S. & Durga
Bowmakers opens with a turpentine sharpness that I certainly don't love, but it leaves as quickly as it enters, making way for a hyper-realistic impression of varnished wood. I can almost make out

Megamare · Orto Parisi
Megamare from Orto Parisi is an absolute Atlantean kaiju of a fragrance. A massive, mysterious sea beast, a preternatural creature of divine power, wrapped in radioactive seaweed, rises from the

India Ink · Heretic Parfum
So, here goes my pitch for the next season of American Horror Story. It’s about the spooky goings-on that occur during an Adult Film shoot that takes place in an abandoned dentist’s office, and it

Decadence · Marc Jacobs
Imagine you won a contest run by your local radio station, you know the one with the obnoxious sexist pig morning show duo, generically called something like "Big Dude Bro and the Little Vermin."

Vanilla Vibes · Juliette Has a Gun
Vanilla Vibes, you had one job. For a fragrance with vanilla right there in the name, there is a shocking lack of it in the execution. Instead, it is a humdrum aquatic, with a sour, salty marine

To me this is something special and it better be for the price, I don’t know exactly what oil is the main ingredient, I suppose is the Omani Frankincense combined with Cedar oil, the result is this

Khaltat Night · Attar Collection
Khaltat Night is my idea of an opulent winter evening rendered in scent, taking my mind to an upscale shisha lounge. I picture sinking into a deep velvet seat, the air thick with cherry-flavoured

Jubilation 40 Man · Amouage
Out of my entire collection and everything I've ever sampled, this is probably the single most opulent, regal fragrance I've experienced to date. An absolute masterpiece! If you check other online

Cimabue (Italian Journey no. 8) · Dsh Perfumes
Cimabue is one of my go-to fall and winter fragrances, though when I’m feeling particularly cozy in the summer I’ll dab a little on. I’m not a gourmand-lover – I prefer aromatics, generally, and I

My nose is one to whom this fragrance gives "pickle" scent—dunno where I'm getting the vinegar from, don't ask! But through the entire fragrance journey I am reminded of pickles. It gets especially
