Be Bop Pour Homme

Be Bop Pour Homme by Parfums Kesling is a 1992 release I believe. This is a spicy  aromatic masculine that is off the beaten path. I find it reminiscent of Dali and Sud Est, but both were  off-putting to my nose, Be Bop veers away from being overloaded with spice and piercing, yet  finds a way for the spices to co-exist.

The opening is citric and spicy. The aromatics from basil,thyme and lavender work well with lemon, tangerine and bergamot. It's different...it's a little weird.....yet I keep sniffing my arm. Within minutes, the spice works its way to the top and stays there.

The heart and base consist of coriander, cinnamon, clove, vetiver, cedar, patchouli, opoponax and musk. This fragrance is chock full of goodies, but that doesn't necessitate it being a superior or underrated release. What Be Bop is simply translates into an acceptable spicy aromatic masculine. Probably more valuable due to its discontinued and hard to find status, BBPH is a fun sample wearing and at the same time, a fairly good masculine. A try-b-4-u-buy is recommended.

    Nice review!

    The bottle looks cool, but... I'm puzzling over how you spray that thing!

    Yikes !!! Retro bottle extraordinaire. I have a mini of this ( 5ml) courtesy of xmen. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to open it. lol. The bottom, which doubles as a stand, unscrews and then you pop out a little plug in the spout and presto !!! Without that little plug, there would be major league leakage since it sits upside down in the stand.

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...
