Review of Porsche Titan by Porsche Design

A really well made little sporty fragrance. Porsche Design Titan enters the clan of the tart metallic woodsy muscular fragrances with barely adumbrated ozonic (or anyway aromatic minty) patterns in the mix. If you are (even just conceptually) in to fragrances a la Lanvin L'Homme or Lanvin Oxigene, Transat by Yves Rocher, Mercedes Benz Club Fresh or Cologne for Men, Paco Rabanne Invictus or Dolce&Gabbana K men Edt (and many many others as several Adidas or grapefruit-bomb sporty aromatic virile airy blue perfumes) this zesty virile fragrance could be a dignified on a budget choice for you. Porsche Design Titan was launched in 2012 and the nose behind this...

Review of MYSLF by Yves Saint Laurent

This is a very familiar DNA. It’s probably just the Amboxan that is so prevalent here. I saw one of the reviews somebody mentioned per plus shampoo, I haven’t smelled that one in a while, but there’s definitely a bluish type of shower gel vibe here. The only reason I even sought out this Fragrance, is because an acquaintance (who I often talk about fragrances with) mentioned it and said he would be buying it soon. He said he really liked it and that it was different and unique. To that I think lmao.. this guy should get a load of my collection then. Ya.. it’s really just very boring, and because I couldn’t find it a sample anywhere...

Review of Back to Black, aphrodisiac by Kilian

Calling itself an aphrodisiac is a bit much, but it is a very nice sensual leaning scent. Don't wear this one to the office! A nice touch of sweet... honey, cherry. There is tobacco, but it's a romanticized tobacco. Probably considered largely masculine but a lot of women could rock this one all night long. I recall when this was one of the darlings of Basenotes after its introduction in late 2000s. It came out after Tobacco Vanilla, but it always seemed to me like Back to Black inspired more imitators. Maybe not.. I like it, but it takes just the right mood to spritz this one on. Sits nicely on skin. A terrific "walk by" kind of waft to it....

Review of Velvet Rope by Apothia

There’s some juniper along with the grapefruit on top to create a kinda/sorta martini accord—gin, not vodka—but it’s fleeting, and the rest is anything but dry. If your idea of a martini is cheap vanilla liqueur and vermouth with a white flower drowning in it, this might be for you. But, also, you don’t know what a martini is; and as for Apothia: Worst. Bartender. Ever. You’d need a velvet rope to keep people from *leaving* this club. Awful.

Review of Aromatic Greens by Beckham

Saw this one day while casually browsing on eBay. Saw Green in the name and knew I had to get it especially at its low price. I think I paid about 20 bucks for it. Looked up the notes on “the other site“, and was even more intrigued. Not only did it look like a green fragrance, but it looked like a more playful green fragrance as opposed to the more mossy and dark type. Which don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy those as well like Polo-esque.. but what I really love is the more citrusy, more lighter, green style, often using mint, eucalyptus, wormwood, or different variance of spruce and pine - stuff like that. Both style remind me of nature, whether...

Review of Bitter Orange by Agraria

With reviews including comparisons to room spray and potpourri, I should note that these are exactly what Agraria sells Bitter Orange as, along with diffuser oil, candles, and incense-style sticks. Agraria has always been a room-fragrance company. If they ever sold anything as eau de whatever, they apparently don't now. I vote with the positive responses, but I have no qualms about wearing the scent, either: the orange, clove, cypress, and olibanum profile suits me. Then again, on the off chance that it's not skin-safe, I'd probably stick to using it as a room scent in the future.

Review of Malibù by Simone Andreoli

This is Virgin Island Water with a nice hit of lime. That's the only difference IMO. Very nice for hot weather. The lime note makes it seem to have a bit more musk than VIW though. 7.5/10

Review of Ingenious Ginger by Goldfield & Banks

Ingenious Ginger is one of the more recent release from Goldfield & Banks, a fresh, spicy, invigorating blend fittingly featuring ginger, which I can sometimes find to be overdone in heavier offerings, but this rendition is fresh, with additional notes of citruses in the top, jasmine and rose in the heart, and a base of vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli, giving it a bit more subtle depth as it dries down. It lands in a comfortable middle ground between the provocativeness of the ginger and (eventually) patchouli vs the familiar comfort of citruses, flowers, and woods. Ingenious Ginger has the current standard pricing for most of the brand, $190/130/36...

Good Inspired perfume essence

Hi Perfumers, I’m looking any good inspired perfume who has managed scents as close as designers and niche perfume brands. I did bought several formulas from creative-formula.com but it will take me forever to be able to have big collections of inspired perfume. The idea is i want to be able to resell with different fragrance applications. Any good brand who does sell inspired perfume out there?

Middle east woody smell

Hi All, I’m newbie in making perfumery. I’m trying to get how middle east smell like Sultani, Amiri, Resala by Arabian Oud or even Rasasi Hawas can smell middle eastern. They don’t have oud, but more woody smell. But the woody smell middle eastern. What kind of material usually middle east put, is it different kind of sandalwood or cedarwood smell?

Cyperus Rotundus Absolute

479795479795 Hi all, I've been experimenting with making an absolute from a hexane extraction of cyperus rotundus or musta. While the plant is a close relative to cypriol (cyperus scariosus) the absolute has a sweeter woodiness than cypriol with slight plasticine and amber notes. There's a boronia facet to it that allows the two to play nicely. It has a top to bottom balance and smoothness that makes it a complete perfume still detectable on my skin several hours later. The yield from 500kg of raw powder is tiny, about 1ml of absolute. Does anyone produce this commercially?

Discoloration issue in gel based items (shampoos and shower gels) from fragrance ingredients

Hi all, Have been recently developing a fragrance for transparent / clear shampoo and shower gels. Once the fragrance was applied to the shampoo and shower gel bases, during initial days it remained in clear transparent form. But within few weeks (4 weeks tentatively) it tuned slightly yelllowish in color. Using the method of elimination, we figured out that fragrance was the reason for the discoloration. Thus a insight on fragrance ingredients which could lead to discoloration of cosmetic products would be highly appreciated. To my understanding though I found out few ingredients which could lead to discoloration , namely, Vanillin, Coumarin, Indole, MA,...

powdery/airy cashmeran, how to?!

today i found myself in the silage of cashmeran.. but it was powdery and airy, still strong though! when i sample 100% cashmeran i get two parts, the deep base and the spicy "fizzle." what i experienced today was mostly that spice and none of the heavy base. it was like a light gauze fabric. another analogy would be if cashmeran is a deep red, this was a like white was mixed in and its now a beautiful pink is it just a really low dilution or are their other ingredients that can modify it to get the effect i am after? a few weeks ago i had the same thing happen to me at a show. i found myself in this cloud of iso e and a sweet patchouli/lavender. ...

Advice for similar perfumes: 'Tears on Asphalt'

Hey all, relatively new to this group as I'm starting my DIY journey. Just wanted to see if anyone is able to recommend some similar perfumes to 'Tears on Asphalt'. I smelt this back in 2022 in Berlin and regrettably didn't purchase a bottle at the time. It was a limited artist release of Michael Sailstorfer created by Geza Schoen. It's mostly sold out everywhere and seemingly difficult to get to Australia. Before I try and secure a full bottle I want to see if there might be anything similar that someone is able to recommend. Alternatively, on the slim chance that someone here has a decant/bottle of this, please let me know!!! 479852 Notes from web...
