Mure Et Musc Extreme by L'Artisan Parfumeur

I have never sampled the original Mure Et Musc, so I do not know how this Extreme version stacks up.

I need to say that I wouldn't recommend men wearing this, but that's simply my opinion. This leans too far feminine for me to ever wear this fragrance. Musc Extreme is a gourmand for musc lovers. It lists blackberries as a dominant note and I must say, the berry rendition is on the mark. It is a candied berry that is of the edible variety and smells like you are wearing a pleasant pie filling layered over musc.

There's a citrus in here as well, but it escapes me completely. That isn't surprising to me since I seem to be hyper sensitive to any kind of musc. This is blackberry musc from start to finish on me with good sillage and longevity. I'm willing to bet this would smell very good on the female persuasion and I wouldn't be disappointed being in close proximity to a woman wearing Extreme. Simple but very pleasant offering from L'Artisan.

    Hey Aromi, definitely seek out a sample of Mure et Musc Cologne. I'd love to hear your impressions of that one, because IMO it's FAR more unisex, leaning masculine than MeME. It's essentially Mure et Musc Extreme layered underneath a classic herbal cologne.

    Thanks bro. I will try it. I put together a sample list that I plan on ordering at the end of the month from LS.

    I also put your other recommendation on it as well. I would name it now, but I can't begin to spell it !!! Josef something or other......lol.

    The Extreme is a good fragrance in spite of me not being able to pull it off.

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 ...
