Special Occasion Perfumes

This is a bold but inoffensive masculine leaning scent with the strong saffron, sage and cedar. If you’re after a masculine amber scent (I find so many are feminine leaning), I recommend getting your hands on this. A light sweetness from the tonka bean and amber, and spice from the pink pepper and ginger.

My husband loves the smell and I feel like a flower.

Love the perfume.

I love this fragrance as it’s unique and not sweet

I always find it so satisfying when I can detect each and every top note, as I can with this one, especially the eucalyptus. Absolutely fascinating scent. Masculine lean. Beautiful woody base notes. A unique scent. Strongly recommend you get your hands on a sample if you like different.

Love the Frankincense note and to me the opening smell is like whisky.Just wish it would last longer.

After seeing a review and reading the description of the notes, Laskarina sounded like a fragrance that I would love. Since I couldn’t get a sample easily I decided to blind buy. Well, I won’t be doing that again!! Once it hits my skin I get bizarre notes of eraser and cola. It dries down to something more tolerable but not something that I can wear. I would not put this in the floral/citrus category. I have tried to gift this to my husband/daughter/son but they have all politely declined!

When I first sprayed the sample, I moved it into my ‘do not buy’ section, but after 10 minutes on my skin I went back & moved it into the buy section. This builds beautifully, it’s comforting, like a comfortable leather chair in front of a fire.

Lovely lingering ambery bedtime fragrance. Lovely to scent bedlinens with this. Try it for yourself. Price is pretty up there. So, must wait for this on SALE.

Amazing strong bold fragrance.

Won’t be everyone”s taste as there’s certainly some “dark”. Strong and long lasting and mellowed into a marvellous dark chocolate. With an edge. I like it but not for every occasion.

Beautiful unique scent that has a sweet fig opening and a warm pud vanilla dry down. Gorgeous!

This was a blind purchase a few weeks ago. It has taken me a few wears of the fragrance, to truly appreciate just how beautiful it is. This is not your atypical gourmand fragrance; for although there is sweetness, it is only subtle and not in any way nauseating. There is a similarity to Narcisco Rodriguez's perfume. However, also discernible is the rose and the delicate mix of vanilla sugar & fruit. Please - try this for yourself!

Cool, fresh and realistic scent, but weak sillage and longevity.

Love this Tuberosis also love Datura Blanche. Only had samples to try. But yes they both are lovely scents. Just gotta decide on which to purchase full size.

If you enjoy a deep and velvety scent that brings back memories of hugging your grandmother, then this one’s for you! While I enjoy the wood tones and delicate florals, the musk is rich and forward and at time overwhelming. Not to say this is a bad thing, I think this scent has its time and place and while I may be 34, I think I got lost in the description of this one. However… it will certainly keep its place on my shelf and perhaps when I require that touch of luxury and warmth I will whip this one out… perhaps a night at the theatre?

Are you ready to be transported to an intimate Friday night date in a small downtown cocktail bar? This fragrance is a warm evening at niche alleyway bar inhabited by a handful of patrons who are ‘in the know’’. The lighting is ambient, the music soft. You have a smoked rum in one hand and the satisfaction of a work week behind you. Your date runs his fingers down the back of your silk shirt as he leans in to kiss your neck lightly. An audible gasp escapes your lips. The weekend is here.

After trialling this scent- I want more. The leathery, fruity, smoked vibes are perfection.

This fragrance is outstanding. Massively underrated gem from this house. Similar to LV Ombre Nomade, but not as ‘in your face.’ The dry down is incredible and it goes on and on for 10-12 hours. Arguably one of the best from the house.
