Are you one of those who wear perfume at the beach? If you are, may you be punished by swimming in a sea of Opium perfume. But if you decided to wear Diesel perfume Fuel for life, I may even decide to forgive you. I’m writing from a sunny beach in Lanzarote for a two [...]

Sooner or later the time would come: let’s talk about Davidoff Cool Water, a classic perfume with a fame of being attractive for women. Where should I start from? Let’s start from Lost, yes, the TV series. If you are a fan or, – like me, an ex-fan who had enough of all the black-smoke-and-polar-bear [...]

This Acqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani is the perfume I gave my dad for Christmas. I have to thank my friend Isabelle for making me try it. You see, my friend Isabelle only wears mens perfume, and this Acqua di Gio pour homme is one of her favorites. Ok I know your eyes went [...]

Guess what most of my presents (given and received) were for Christmas… yes, perfumes. So get over it, the next perfume reviews that I’ll write, will be about fragrances that I received from, or gave to someone. Like this 1 Million Paco Rabanne. If you’ve ever seen the ad, it’s slightly more naive than the [...]

It was 2005 when I first gave this Fahrenheit Dior perfume as a present to my old friend Mark. He turned 40 that day, and now that I think about it, giving him a perfume, THIS Fahrenheit Christian Dior perfume, was a risky move. We know how critical that age can be for men. When [...]

The re-encounters with perfumes in a perfume shop can be accidental, like with people. I first tried Prada perfume one year ago, and it didn’t really strike me, all I could remember was an intense vanilla note. I lost sight of it until last week when, after countless visits to many perfume shops I noticed [...]

The thing I like the most in any Creed perfume is the history of the perfume house (the House of Creed). It was founded in London by James Creed in 1760, and moved to Paris in 1854. It soon became the favorite perfume house of many European aristocracies. Today it is chaired by Oliver Creed, [...]

This Gianni Versace perfume for men was launched just one year before its creator was murdered. It’s not like Kennedy of course, but I think every perfume enthusiast remembers where they were when Versace was murdered. I was in a friend’s house sunbathing in her garden, when the radio broke the news. Ok, I admit [...]
