Agent Provocateur Petale Noir Fragrance Review

Posted by Dimitri on Fri, 07/17/2015 - 4:08 PM

English luxury lingerie giant Agent Provocateur are arguably best-known for their head-turning high-quality underwear, and in 2000 they launched their first self-titled perfume to accompany their sexy, lacy getups. Since then, they have steadily been adding to their perfume wardrobe with a catwalk of feminine fragrances all with their tasers set to 'stun'! In 2012, they released Petale Noir – a sexy, oriental floral that is an aria to femininity.

 

Petale Noir is a dew-soaked bouquet of wanton, sexy blooms... blushing magnolia, heady hyacinth, enchanting rose and water lotus tippy-toe over a heart of ylang-ylang, violet, iris, neroli and heliotrope. This fusion of rousing florals is grounded by notes of leather, tobacco, patchouli, musk and fragrant resins. Petale Noir feels very “adults only”... a carnal assortment of notes that beckons and entices in a sensual, non-cheesy way. As it evolves, it simply gets better and better!

The perfect scent to bewitch and ensnare, Petale Noir is ideal for date night, or romantic nights in. Complex, beguiling and sultry... a flower-bomb for real women.

Dolce & Gabbana Intenso Fragrance Review

Posted by Dimitri on Fri, 07/17/2015 - 3:42 PM

Anyone with any recollection of the mid 90's will remember the epic release Pour Homme – the first masculine fragrance launch by then-newcomers to the global fashion scene, Dolce & Gabbana. Characterized by its unique aromatic blend of citrus, pepper and abundant woods, Pour Homme set a benchmark by standing apart from the faceless androgynous unisex scents that were prolific at the time. Fast forward 20 years, and D&G have reinvented it for a new age in the form of Dolce & Gabbana Intenso.

 

Off the bat, Intenso feels every bit as striking as its older brother, but somehow more refined. Crisp aquatic notes dominate its flight, veering towards a dark ambery ribbon of bittersweet tobacco, fragrant lavender and hay-like aromatic greens. A resinously warm base of labdanum, cypress and perfumed woods give it an enduring masculine slant, which lingers for hours on skin. Despite his differences with his famous older sibling, Intenso feels very much a part of the Dolce & Gabbana family... he's mature, and evokes an air of determination and virile exuberance.

Intenso is a great all-rounder that will transition easily from day to night. If Pour Homme was your jam back in the day, Intenso will satisfy in spades!

Christian Dior Fahrenheit Fragrance Review

Posted by Dimitri on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 2:46 PM

What is there to say that hasn't already been uttered about this now-iconic masculine from Dior? Fahrenheit is the fragrance that put Parfums Dior on the map in the 80's alongside the titanic feminine of its age, Poison. In the here and now, however, Fahrenheit still prevails: it continues to turn heads, and the original has spawned at least nine individual and successful flankers in its wake.

 

Once touted as gruff, glamourous and hunky, Fahrenheit has been steadily turning up the heat for 3 decades... its blend of woody, floral and musky accords has had many a woman (or many a man) hot under the collar! Boasting a very complex blend, its chief notes comprise of citrus, leather, patchouli, spices, vetiver and musks... all fleshed out with subtle and fascinating accords that at one time or another, have run the gamut from honeysuckle to petroleum! Fahrenheit has a dense combustable warmth you you cant help but want to snuggle up to. For the girls, this is a sure-fire winner, and for the guys – you can't go wrong with a time-honored head-turner such as this. Positively bombastic!
