Viole Nere by Meo Fusciuni is a complex, mossy violet that has me fumbling for words (and maybe even my wallet): takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
Reviewing the Sana Jardin sample set. Mostly solid, nothing too strange or unusual, does a good job at the resiny-balsamic stuff. Didn't blow my mind but I didn't hate anything either: takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
Quick and dirty reviews of schtuff that I smell while whizzing through department stores and airports. For this one, I take a look at Amouage Guidance, Le Labo Yoocalptyus 20, and Dior New Look 2024. tinyurl.com/3wnayu54
Perfumes 26 to 50 on my top tier fragrance list: takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
Nailing my colours to the mast with a countdown of my personal top 50 favourite fragrances of all time, starting with 1 to 25. takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
6 Scents that are a vitamin C shot to the arm in the cold, dark depths of February takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
The rawness of January calls out for some warm, spiced, plummy, female energy perfume, and Feminité du Bois by Serge Lutens is IT takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
Reviews of Unspoken Musk, Encounters, and Byzantine Amber by Francesca Bianchi takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
La Rhapsodie Noire, Rosarine, Pelagos, and Montri - unusual, imaginative, and often beautiful takes on traditional French perfumery tropes by Pissara Umavijani, the Thai perfumer of Parfums Dusita: t.ly/ZvvkZ
I smell a lot of disappointing perfume. Here are reviews of some of the more recent duds. takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
The Arabian Heritage Collection by Areej Le Doré is a minimalist but no-holds-barred look at three materials - oud, sandalwood, and ambergris - that smell very different in their natural state than in most perfumes where they are said to star: takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
Kashmir by Ormonde Jayne is the kind of cedar that fans of Spice and Wood will love - a creamy-dusty-fizzy idealized version of the wood, ugly bits removed: takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
Bleak autumn perfumes to match a Morrissey kind of soul. Not a single pumpkin spice latte in sight. takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
L'Oblio, Odor 93 and Narcotico by Meo Fusciuni: I'm beginning to understand his work now. takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
But Twitter, I don't KNOW what's happening. One of these is really good, the other really bad, and I'm sure this can't be deliberate. Luce and Notturno by Meo Fusciuni takeonethingoff.com/blog/202…
The Nota di Viaggio series of perfumes by Meo Fusciuni is a slightly off center, charming, and thought-provoking reflection of Italy. Not your usual trite shite t.ly/WyDqf
Well, now, this is HUMUNGOUS: Un Bel Amour d’Été by Parfum d’Empire t.ly/MjblG
Oud Taiwan by Areej Le Dore smells great in the way that a car shop or a fuel court does, and I absolutely love it until I absolutely don't. t.ly/j-u2s
Epona by Papillon Artisan Perfumes is the rare 'horsey' perfume that hints at the Equine Divine rather than slapping you in the face with a mane and tail t.ly/yuL-J
Three roses by Annette Neuffer that make indie perfumer magic with very familiar materials t.ly/cNpdq
