Patchouly Indonesio by Farmacia SS. Annunziata

Image
By
So......you like patchouli do you? Well, if that's really true, then Indonesio by Farmacia should fill that void in your life.

This is patchouli from top to bottom, head to toe and if I missed an area, that too. From the very first few seconds, there's no mistaking this for anything but what it is; and that, my friends, is an earthy patch scent with a hint of grass.....and I mean only a hint.

Whatever development there happens to be with Indonesio is contingent upon the wearers skin. This has one note and the Indonesian patchouli smells like garden earth in a field surrounded by coniferous trees on my skin. The "dirt" is barely moist from a recent sun shower and the clumps of damp grass that are in tufts nearby are carried by my nose on a breeze.

This is patchouli.......and an excellent one at that.

    Yes Aromi, indeed. This one is absolutely excellent. Though I was a little bit disappointed because of the new bottle design. As I ordered it, I was expecting the bottle in the picture above...but no, it's another bottle and not so beautiful. Nevertheless, the juice in it is still adorable. The hint of grass is to smell on the skin of my husband. On my skin, there is a hint of fresh carnation.

    Hi Nil. Glad you like it and thanks for letting us know of the new bottle design. I wonder if there has been a reformulation to go along with the new packaging?

    I don't know if the juice is reformulated. I had sampled it twice and at time the bottle was not chanced yet. It smells exactly the same to me.

Oriental Lounge by The Different Company

By
Bergamot, Curry Leaf, Pepper, Red Rose, Tonka Bean, Labdanum, Satinwood. I suppose the first thing I noticed about Oriental Lounge is that as a man, this is a bit of a stretch to pull off. Since the core of Oriental Lounge is a powdery tonka and amber duo, it really does lean a bit too far feminine for me to wear. However, it would smell just as lovely on a woman and more appropriate as well. I bring this up simply because it's marketed as shared. I was wondering about the curry leaf. Actually, this "note" brought nothing to the table with the exception of possibly enhancing the pepper note just a bit. Even so, the pepper note itself was low key ( at least on me ) and both blended nicely with the citrus opening. From the onset of Oriental Lounge, it's unmistakable that this fragrance is.......well.....an oriental. From other opinions, I read some gripes about longevity, but it lasts on me quite awhile. This fragrance is uncomplicated and without much movemen...

Black Suede by Avon

By
Nutmeg, Clove, Amber, Musk, Moss, Wood Notes. Yes.........I am reviewing one of the Rodney Dangerfield's of fragrance. Black Suede has been gracing medicine cabinets, for better or worse, since 1980 my friends. If you're expecting me to inform you ( like others may have already ) that Black Suede is a nasty scrubber, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you're expecting a glowing review claiming it's a diamond in the rough, you won't hear that from me either. I will say though that Black Suede doesn't deserve the hate it's received and most of that is due to snobbery aimed at Avon products in general. I kid you not when I state that a close relative to this fragrance is Cacharel Pour L'Homme. The array of spice in both ensure comparison, but the "smoother" of the two is Black Suede due to its implementation of Amber. While wearing Black Suede, one can detect a hint of "drugstore". That quality doesn't manife...

Paco Rabanne Pour Homme

By
I am reviewing the original Paco Rabanne Pour Homme ( circa 1973 ) thanks to a generous basenoter who sent it to me recently in a swap. He also sent me the current formulation in order for me to do a side by side comparison. The side by side resulted in what I had already imagined would be the case. Not that the newer formula is terrible by any means. The original version simply is better by being deeper and a bit more masculine. No......you shouldn't go to ebay searching for the vintage formula and paying stupid prices. It's simply a notch or two better than the current and noticeable by comparing the two in real time. Rabanne Pour Homme opens with a slight shimmer in conjunction with lavender, spices and a subtle woodiness. It's an old school introduction, however a good one. The lavender takes about 5 minutes to raise its volume and evolve into a soapy rendition. I dislike when a boatload of soapy lavender takes over a composition, but here it doesn't go over t...
