My apologies to anyone who actually reads my fragrance reviews. I have had quite a bit on my plate as of late and it seems this trend will continue for at least a few more weeks.

I look forward to getting back to reviewing some arcane classics and top shelf niche. As a matter of fact, I have some on the way, but won't post any information on them until sometime in March.

Maybe Redneck Perfumisto can work some of his review magic !!!

Again....my apologies and will have new reviews before you know it !!!

    I'm a Basenotes member, Fragfan. Just to let you know, I do read your frag blog and enjoy it very much. Also, RP is a good guy too. I have missed you not posting and pray that all is well with both you guys.
    Just wanted to let you know that you have a reader out here. Take care.

    Thanks Scott. Very soon I will be getting back to reviewing. My schedule lately has been insane.

    I hope to see a reviewer I respect highly that goes by the name of foetidus on here shortly with his spot-on and insightful reviews.

    He too is having time difficulties, but I fully expect to see his work soon. You will no doubt benefit from what this enthusiast has to say.

    I agree. There are certain reviewers that I gravitate to on BN. Foetidus being one of them. Also you and Neil are two other tasteful, insightful commentators who I enjoy reading. Keep up the good work.

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...

Teatro Alla Scala - Krizia

By
I tried Comete by Chanel today and wanted to write about how Chanel is going by the way of Roger Dove - copying old masterpieces. I did not know where to post that and then I realized I have been neglecting this blog. When I logged in I saw an unfinished post I wrote a year ago about Teatro Alla Scala by Krizia. Teatro is the best full bodied floral - better than any Chanel or Patou. Even better than Gucci L'Arte.  A brief background: Teatro Alla Scala is an Opera theatre in Milan. The bottle's design is an homage to the theatre and the perfume an homage to its sophisticated patrons. I wanted to write a symphony for it. Maybe some day. For now here are few notes I wrote comparing EDT vs EDP.  And if you don't have Teatro, your wardrobe is incomplete Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose. Jammy berries (more in EDP) . Honey note listed is probably the jammy part Vetiver & moss - more in EDT Rose and carnation is more than jasmine and that is what separates it from other florals like J...
