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.

La Chasse Aux Papillons Extreme by L'Artisan Parfumeur

By
I read many reviews before or after I do my own and I seem to be at complete odds with the house of L'Artisan. I have previously said on basenotes that for me, L'Artisan Parfumeur is the most over-rated house I have come across. La Chasse Aux Papillons Extreme does nothing to sway that opinion. Yet another linear, floral dominant scent that does nothing to stir me up or inspire me in any way. This house has "pleasant" nailed down to an art form......but damn...can't we go beyond that? The only attempt at polarization so far has been Dzongkha ....and I found it a jumbled mess. At these prices, move me, anger me, hate me.......but please don't bore me. Extreme in a nutshell is a toned down tuberose with assorted "blossom" thrown in the mix. Is it bad? No, it's an acceptable floral scent that's very timid and just lays on my skin smelling like....well....a toned down version of tuberose with blossom this or that added to it. I'm almost a...

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...

Chanel copying Guerlain. Why?

By
                      Last month, I had the pleasure of trying Comète by Chanel, the latest addition to their prestigious Les Exclusifs line. This fragrance follows the release of Le Lion in 2020, another standout in the same collection. Like Le Lion , Comète is a beautiful perfume that captures the essence of Chanel’s refined elegance. However, both fragrances bear a striking resemblance to classic creations by Guerlain, leading me to ponder the direction Chanel is taking. Chanel has a great fragrance history. Not as hallowed and old as Guerlain but for past three decades it has far outshone Guerlain. In my view, no other perfume house has come close to Chanel’s excellence in this century. This makes their recent approach of echoing Guerlain classics somewhat perplexing. Have they run out of fresh ideas? Is Roger Dove at the helm of their fragrance division, or have they perhaps...
