Great clove, interesting creamy carnation, but too much powder for me. I haven't smelled the base yet, so if some great animalics jump out at the end, I'll revise this review. Otherwise, "2" is...

I used to love this perfume since I was a litlle girl. I owned a mini bottle (I was a collector and owned several hundred bottles) and I used to sniff that little jewel from time to time – but I...

Tastefully done; a floriential frag with a modern twist due to the banana accord. Lush and drop dead sexy. If you're not a fan of white flowers, you won't like this.

What a wonderful whiff of the past this is! I am so glad that a dear fellow MUAer sent me a sample of Divine Folie. My first sniff was a little disheartening - it reminded me of L'Heure Bleue,...

I always have to sample "the classics" because a) My mom owned many of them and I'm very olfactory-sentimental and b) I like the idea of a full-on, womanly, deep floral in opposition to the...

I received this as a sample, spritzed it on and admired the topnote. But within a few mins, I was convinced that one of my dogs had pooped in the adjacent living room. A quick check confirmed that...

This is the most beautiful perfume I've ever smelled.Honestly. I love floral perfumes (I usually wear J'adore) but this goes beyond. It reminds me of Mr. Darcy's garden on Pride and Prejudice,...

Enjoy is a light floral perfume with a hint of amber, patchouli and *I think* grapefruit. It has the same warm smell as its tomboy sister, Eau de Patou, but none of the rosy lushness that...

Developed for teens, one of the first to do so. Caline is a mossy, dusty aldehydic powder with sweet floral and coconut-dust notes. It improves on dry down, more a sort of green Hawaiian coconut...

Nothing, but nothing is Joy parfum. The Eau de Toilette and the Eau de Parfum focus on the rose and the jasmine, respectively, but the pure perfume is the formula with all of the really good stuff:...

I used to (silently) laugh at Joy but that's because I would only smell it from the bottle or on a paper strip. I was showing it to a customer one day, and for the fun of it, I sprayed it on my arm...

A strange scent that combines elegance and wildness, like finding a cluster of dainty violets in a creaky, dangerous wood. As daring as Mitsouko, but without Mitsouko's romantic aspirations and...

Tragically this is not only discontinued, it's vintage. If you see a bottle, snatch it up! Adieu Sagesse... it has some of that powdery Ma collection base, with the classic clove-y notes that are...

This is intense; be careful on how much you apply. When I first tried this, it seemed like altogether too much fruit. However, I am trying it again, years later, and I'm picking up much more of...

This is lovely. It is almost unfindable -- Patou's Ma collection. I was very lucky to find what I think might even be vintage. The miniature I have is almost pure Seringa, those little white...

I was sceptic at first since it's such an old perfume, but I didn't hesitate when I saw it on the counter in a beauty store here in Sweden. I've never seen it before, so I had to give it a try. And...
