Kouros : how misrepresented you are. I almost feel pity… Or perhaps not. Because it has been over applied and misused by many, it earned a reputation of no less than “piss” (enter the comment of a character in the indie film “The locals” who says…

Widespread is the knowledge of Napoleon’s famous erotic line to Josephine, “I will return in three days, don’t wash!” (“Je reviens en trois jours; ne te laves pas!”), which inspired even the famous name of a Worth perfume, Je reviens. But little do p…

It’s Friday, which means we have reached the last day of Neil Morris reviews here on Fragrance Bouquet. I am closing this week -which has been incredible fun by the way- with a review of my personal favorite, Gotham. For those of you who have already tried Neil’s perfumes, I have a question: Which one is your favorite and why? There are still a number of perfumes by Neil I really want to try and

February 6th, 2008 — Fragrance, Intrigant Patchouli, Parfumerie Generale, Perfume, Review, Sensual, animalic, review, sexy, skin scent from Divina @ Fragrance Bouquet
How do you feel about strongly animalic scents? Undeniably, there is a sense of danger in wearing one in public. The message these fragrances broadcast is by far not subtle – it is instead, a proclamation of pure sexual energy, an advertisement of one’s lusty nature and perhaps best of all, they are an admittance of the fact that at least part of us, longs for and misses the ability to smell the

By guest writer Ida MeisterI am such a neophyte, that I feel a disclaimer is in order. To begin with: it should be noted that I am neither a writer nor a perfumer. I am simply a woman possessed by a 50 year love affair with fragrance, who lives for her…

Oud Ambre by Montale : Perfume Review
July 24th, 2007 — Labdanum, Montale, Oud Ambre, Oudh, animalic, civet from Divina @ Fragrance Bouquet
One whiff and all I can think of is “I must have it. Right now, this instant, I must have it.” Smelling Oud Ambre for the first time at the Montale Boutique in Paris was like a revelation. It was the perfume I’d been looking for, an ideal I’d been chasing like a Chimaera I’d almost given up on. Being presented with this fragrance was like being deeply understood, a feeling that shook me to the

There’s something to be said about perfumes whose development does not hold too many surprises. They are trusty, they will remain true from the moment you wear them till the moment they fade. They offer a single dream, a single location to which they will transport you and once there, you do not have to second-guess your surroundings. It is safe to put your guard down; seasons might change, the

I was not planning to write a special review for Mother’s Day, in fact, I had been preparing a different review for today. But something happened yesterday, a strange coincidence, a little touch of fate that prompted me to suspend the piece I had prepared, in order to write this one, a Mother’s Day special.
As it has probably become clear by now, Saturday mornings are perfume exploration days
