Tiffany for Men Sport Cologne

By -
Sports fragrances, as a whole, share that banal commonality I usually hold in low regard. Now, Tiffany for Men shares some of that banality, but pulls off the "Sport" genre with a certain degree of respectibility.

I am a sucker for Juniper Berry and / or Coriander. These notes are used on a canopy of freshness provided by citrus with a thin veil of green running through the top and heart accords.

Between the mid and base accords, there are shades of light wood and that is in keeping with the whole sports theme. The only way I can get any semblance of pepper is if I place my nose directly upon my skin.....and even then, it's a subtle as it can be. Tiffany Sport dries down to what I believe to be a very lighthearted sandalwood with intermittent whiffs of Juniper and Coriander. There is a pseudo-aquatic background that remains from start to finish. This is one of the better Sports scents I have tried and would recommend this scent as an addition for the warmer months.

Legacy 1912 Titanic Eau de Parfum for Women

Lemon, Orange Blossom, Hyacinth, Rose, Violet. As far as I've read, this fragrance was inspired by a Titanic survivor who was hoping to sell his fragrances in the Big Apple. I happened to run across a nearly full 75ml. bottle last month and purchased it untested. Released as an EDP, what I noticed after multiple wearings was the politeness inherent in the entire composition. The volume seems to be governed regardless of sprays, but perhaps that's a misconception on my part. At any rate, the dispersion is well behaved and mannerly, while smelling feminine and surprisingly good. Legacy is a citric floral that I can see succeeding in warm temperatures. Legacy opens with a sheer accord of citrus and leafy green aspects. The blossom is tuned a bit more assertively than the lemon, but their balances are executed very pleasantly. The combination of Hyacinth and Violet is just as good. The leaf and stem qualities compliment the violet rendition and is soon accented by a demur

Unpublished Reviews

 I have been meaning to post more here but just have not been able to. I think it is the fear of not coming close to what Dave did here. I will have to cross that bridge soon. In the meantime, please enjoy these last few reviews that Dave was working on. They were written in 2021. Some were posted and then taken off the blog. These are the reviews of the Yellowstone Parfums line. I heard about this line in 2021. The smell description and artwork reminded me of Dave. I thought he was the person behind it and so I got a sample set.  It turned out that, while he was not the nose behind it, he was involved. Helping his friend with this venture. Unfortunately, I don't think the Yellowstone Parfums are in business anymore.

Voile Blanc by Traveller Limited

Cedarwood, Frankincense, Leather, Musk, Thyme, Voile Blanc is yet another Arabian style sample sent to me, courtesy of CoutureGuru. As his review attests, it is distributed in a different fashion than your conventional "houses". Just the fact that a merchant can have a quality, duty-free scent created and marketed to a target audience is impressive. Too bad it isn't readily available through the normal means of purchase as Voile Blanc is well done and "adjusted" to suit palettes other than local. I say that because the west, as a whole, seems to favor "subtle yet substantial" over ostentatious. The opening of Voile Blanc is a leathery presentation accented with Incense and Woods. It's vibrant without being startling and you can tell in the first few minutes that this will come in with a smooth landing. There's nothing complicated here as the intro continues on its way until volume and presence dissipate enough to signal heart, then base
