Patchouly Indonesio by Farmacia SS. Annunziata

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.

Newport by Caswell Massey

By
Bergamot, Mandarin, Lemon, Lavender, Geranium, Muguet, Rose, Ambergris, Cedar, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Musk. After wearing Newport by Caswell Massey a few times and then reading what others had to say about this recent formulation, I found some of the opinions harsh. I have no way to compare it to the heralded vintage formula, nor can I use memory as I've never tried the original. Enter the current version. I do agree with some reviews that this rendition does not bring about the sense of beach and salt, but there's a long line of fragrances that fail to represent their depictions. However, Newport isn't so far off the mark that it's a complete misrepresentation. I can imagine wearing Newport ( or something similar ) in a beach setting. It smells classic due to the way Citrus, Lavender and Geranium are implemented. It's assuredly retro, but it seems to have that intangible I like that keeps me sniffing. Newport, at least on my skin, is top heavy in the sens...

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...

Lanvin L'Homme

By shamu1
Lord knows the world has enough fresh woody citrus fragrances.  It's a hackneyed genre of masculine perfume, having been done to death by countless designer firms cranking these things out since the 1990s, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight.  Lanvin L'Homme, released in 1997, is one of the early woody citrus releases, but it (along with Essenza di Zegna) stands out because it's one of the best.  That may sound like it's not saying much, but Lanvin L'Homme really is excellent. I won't get into a long treatise about all of the notes contained in this and how they evolve.  Lanvin L'Homme is sparkling, spicy, woody, transparent and dry.  What I love about this scent is how brilliantly it uses vetiver - the vetiver gives Lanvin L'Homme a woody, dry and somewhat bitter smell, but it also manages to create an effect of sustaining the citrus top notes for several hours.  This results in a fragrance that smells fresh and cheerful from beginning ...
