I have been away lately

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.

DK Men by Donna Karan

By
Citrus, Juniper, Pineapple. Ambergris, Almond. Sandalwood, Lavender, Musk. I felt compelled to revisit DK Men ( Fuel for Men ) after perusing through some older samples and then reading my previous review from 2009. Wearing DK Men again has caused me to revise my original post. I liked it three years ago and have a new found appreciation for this extremely smooth fragrance. My perception of it has changed slightly, but my opinion is still extremely favorable. This time around, I get less of a petrol vibe and much more of a fruit and suede theme. The pineapple note is integrated so well that I am surprised I couldn't previously esteem its deft implementation like I can now. The magic of DK Men is in the blending of chosen notes. The citric opening is very good indeed in spite of its quick dissipation. The pineapple and amber quickly pick up the slack. They are rich, full bodied and manage to keep a respectable presence while offending no one. The volume is intelligent. ...

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...
