Fragrances -Serge Lutens - Une Voix Noire
lalki1 3/22/2013 12:55:00 PM
I love it. the first 5 minutes it's very similar to tubereuse criminelle without the menthol then it turnes into a gardenia coffee, 10 minutes later the coffee gives place to tobacco and rum , 30 minutes later they give place to plum and spice and the whole concoction turns metallic, after that the metallic note fades and all the others reapper, turning this perfume into a soft and creamy gardenia delight.

Fragrances -Serge Lutens - Cuir Mauresque

I hated the first 20 minutes, it was too sharp and the oud and cloves made it smell medicinal, i was going to write a rather bad review but as the minutes go by it mellowes to a soft rich incense and amber which i like with distant flowers. so i changed my rating from 2 to 4.

Fragrances -Laura Mercier - Neroli

I used to live near an orange grove and this is too sweet and gourmand to be called orange blossom. on me it smells like neroli oil and bubble gum. i bought it blindly online hoping for that orange blossom at night smell but gave it to my 20 y.o daughter who was happy to receive it by the way. gave the packaging only 1 poit beacause of the paperweight heavy cap.

Fragrances -Ungaro - Ungaro (for women)
lalki1 5/27/2012 2:12:00 PM
To me Ungaro is an 80's style floriental fragrance, loud sexy and heady. it is linear from start to finish so there are no surprises along the road. it reminds me of F by Ferragamo with less berries involved and more amber and saffron (both created by Francis Kurkjian). nice but not for me. the bottle is very uncomfortable and heavy.

Fragrances -Estee Lauder - Pleasures
lalki1 5/27/2012 1:44:00 PM
Pleasures is a classy, beautiful and joyful crisp clean floral. i loved it from the first sniff back in 1995 and it was the only fragrance i had and wanted, it used to get me many compliments. then,one day a co-worker with whom i shared the office asked me what i was wearing and naively i told her, she showed up the next morning wearing MY beloved Pleasures. well, for me wearing the same fragrance as another woman in the room is like wearing the same outfit ( to my delight no one ever complimented her,ba ha ha. to steal awomans scent right under her nose and without any premission is a BIG no no); so, sadly for a few years i avoided pleasures but always enjoyed catching wafts of it here and there. normally i never go back and rebuy a perfume once it's finished but for the sake of nostalgia i bought a botlle because somehow i just can't be without it. to me Pleasures is a must have fragrance, suitable for every age, occasion or season.

This is a powder monster. bitter, harsh and boring. too bad it has a huge giant sillage, when one woman wears it the entire room suffers. should be banned.

Fragrances -Unlisted Brand - aigner- explosive
lalki1 5/27/2012 10:42:00 AM
Aigner Explosive is a dark earthy resinous chipre suitable for a grown woman on a cold winter night. to my disappointment 10 minutes after spraying it turned into a salty nutty licorice thing- my least favorite note. so if you like licorice give it a try.

Fragrances -Chanel - Sycomore

To me Sycomore is a fresh green vetiver, very suitable for a man but to my taste,too green for a woman to wear. and it is similar to Cristalle eau vert.
