Time For A New Look At Dior?

J'Adore - A major hit for Dior. I don't think any of the flankers come close to the original. If there ever were a brand I'd love to see back on top of the fragrance game, it would be Dior. Recent years have seen a marked decline in quality at the house. By a decline … Continue reading Time For A New Look At Dior? →

Perhaps most surprisingly, the "La Collection Privee" has taken a … Continue reading Reviews – Dior – Santal Noir →

Vilhelm Parfumerie - Body Paint - I enjoyed wearing this, but for me, it's a redundant release if you already own Hermes Poivre Samarcande. Body Paint is a mix of spicy pepper, paprika, and iso-e super. The blend is wearable and lacks the challenging cumin element found in Poivre Samarcande. Therefore, I'd say it is a … Continue reading First Impressions – Vilhelm Parfumerie, Dior, escentric molecules →
