Not bad, but I prefer Herba Fresca to Mentafollia. What keeps this from being perfect? It's some sharp, fresh-synthetic note I can't put my finger on. Could be whatever they use to render the green...

This is about the vintage--I haven't tried either of the newer versions. I inherited this bottle from my mother. Apparently she was gifted with it and didn't like it--I'm not surprised; she didn't c...

Smelled promising at first--I began to see what Luca Turin meant by "the goddess Diana's bath soap." It does evoke a bar of white, rose-scented soap. Accented by a citrusy bite on top, greens, soft ...

I enjoy the zippy pepper opening, but then the scent never quite hits its stride. It is as if only half the notes are here--the melody is missing and all that's here is the accompaniment. Some scent...

I've always thought red bell peppers had a lovely sweet-rosey fragrance when freshly sliced, and jeez-a-loo!--here it is. An odd transition, from peppers and green to cocoa and cream, but somehow it'...

Smells terrific for about fifteen minutes (although I didn't get any fizz), then *poof*--it's mostly cedar. After about an hour there's a nice plush vanilla, but I have to jam my nose into my arm to ...

I love Lapsang Souchong tea, but I'm not necessarily a fan of overtly smoky fragrances. Nonetheless, this one has definitely won me over. My only beef with it is a waxiness that makes the spices sme...
