Mini Reviews – Xerjoff & L’Artisan Parfumeur – Fruity Fun – Erba Pura, Mandarina Corsica, Bana Banana.

Xerjoff - Erba Pura - Shampoo masquerading as perfume - 3/10. I'm not a fan of this one at all. The fruity notes are sugary, sweet, and more akin to bubblegum than actual fruit.

In today's mini-reviews, Mr. Burberry Indigo and Carven L'Eau Intense, both by Francis Kurkdjian, are under the microscope. Neither feels high budget, but they are commendable releases as far as designer scents go. Ultimately, it is hard to separate the two, … Continue reading Mini Reviews – Burberry and Carven →
