Series 3 Incense: Jaisalmer · Comme des Garcons
Jaisalmer had been on my “to buy” list for a long time and today, I brought it home. In the opening, you get spices and smoke and gorgeous incense, then as it dries down, it blossoms into something

Iris Coriandre · La Closerie
I had to create an entry for this one, so I imagine it's extra niche. Plus, the house of La Closerie is from 2019. That said, the fragrance surprised me and I'm definitely trying it again. I don't

Blue Sapphire · Boadicea the Victorious
Sharp - crystal blue opening. Mixed citruses with maybe a slight pink pepper nuance. Maybe a touch of a masculine floral thing as it hits the mid. In the mid a rose like note appears. Still citrusy

Amber Oud Gold Lux · AL Haramain Perfumes
I’m just so done with BR540 clones. There are like 10 billion at this point and they all smell so similar that the original is lost in a sea of dupes. And this is so late to the game. Besides Al

Oh So Vanille! · The Dua Brand
The Oh So Vanille made this an olfactory love triangle of two masc scents fighting over a vanilla love interest with some spice and power of her own. It has citrus, vanilla and spiciness....with D7

Pornosé · Walter Maiorano Parfums
You’re at the Panorama bar in Berghain and decide to go for a meander on the way back from the bathroom. You go down too many stairs and find yourself accidentally in the basement’s lab.oratory. Your

Noir Extreme · Tom Ford
Noir Extreme is perfect. Rich, warm, creamy, spicy, sweet… just so good. The cardamom and spices give it some edge, while the vanilla, amber, and kulfi make it feel smooth and almost edible. It’s
Jasmine
Philosykos · Diptyque
The accuracy is impressive. This is a really interesting scent but I don’t necessarily want to smell like this. The opening smells very green and woody, I smell dirt and the bark of the tree. I then

Narco Oasis · Narcotica
Very fruity and sweet. It opens like a fruity, sugary syrup. The opening is slightly medicinal to me from the intense sweetness, but as it dries down it becomes less syrupy. It’s not a note, but it

Choux Choux · Liis
Very well blended gourmand fragrance. Sugared lemon peel with cold whipped cream. Great lemon note in this one. The heart and dry down is warm and delicious. Perfumes this sweet can sometimes smell

Sticky Rice · Aetherii
I happened to see this fragrance in a Reddit comment months ago and had it on my list. It’s from a Boston-based Perfumery and found it at another business in Boston, Golden Tiger & Co for a good

Mooncake · D'Annam
Asian desserts tend to not be too sweet. It’s usually a compliment to be told your dessert is not too sweet. This smells like each of the components of a mooncake. I think this is a nice, nostalgic

Strawberry Mochi · D'Annam
This opens up very starchy, like straight up rice flour. It’s also quite powdery, almost reminiscent of baby powder. A very realistic iteration of a homemade mochi with no artificial flavoring. I

Matcha Soft Serve · D'Annam
This opens up quite strong. Very earthy, grassy, dry and bitter. Somewhat vegetal. Smells exactly like pure matcha without any creaminess that you would expect in a matcha latte or matcha ice cream.

Lamar · Kajal
Typically, I'm not a fan of floral notes, especially rose, but Lamar by Kajal strikes a beautiful balance between fruits and florals. It's mature and modern without ever coming across as stuffy or

Absolue le Parfum · Lancome
I had high hopes for this one based on the paper test and the fact that it was the one Lancome chose to name "Le Parfum" out of the line. Luckily, it seems to meet my expectations. Le Parfum is a
Frank Intense
Naxos · Xerjoff
First wear for @mssashay (my wife) and me and we are crazy about this fragrance! Plus, we are so damn yummy! The lavender really shows up for her, but my skin says “nah, we’re going right to honey

Ameerat Al Arab · Asdaaf
This is an Arabic perfume, for such a low price around 10–15 dollars, I wasn’t expecting much, but I’m very surprised. It’s mostly a feminine fragrance, which I love to wear. It’s fresh yet fruity

Fantome de Maules · Stora Skuggan
Ghost roads converging on a cemetery, whispers of a green-cloaked figure vanishing into mist. Fantôme de Maules unfurls like a secret, a sylvan, spectral musk, dark green dusk gleaming through

Cierge De Lune · Aedes de Venustas
A vanilla bean moonbeam threads its way through a labyrinth of mirrors. Silken jasmine vines unravel from the moon's negligee, weaving themselves into a veil that drapes across sleeping cities. A

Calling All Angels · April Aromatics
April Aromatics Calling All Angels is plump unearthly fruits, gorged on ancient amber nectar, hanging heavy at twilight, eventually drying and cracking in the heat of a dying sun. Silent sisters

Azalai · Stora Skuggan
Stora Skuggan Azalai conjured forth such a very specific image for me. Does anyone else remember Peaches & Cream Barbie from the 1980s? I don't know if she had a specific scent, but Azalai is the

Crushed Fruits · Regime des Fleurs
Crushed Fruits from Regime des Fleurs shimmers and unfurls like an overripe reverie, fruit flesh and flowers awakening from brandy-soaked slumber; an ultraviolet tumble of plums, an infrared rush of

Bulletproof · Tokyomilk
I’ve worn Bulletproof for a decade or more - it’s simple, straight-forward, linear, and done well. Fresh cut cedar creates a solid base for the cool, fleshy coconut and smoky tea to shine, making it
