Kilian Black Phantom "Memento Mori" Eau de Parfum was an elegant gourmand where rum was, in fact, the star through most of the life of the perfume. The rum started as richer, boozier, and more definable before it was sweetened with caramel and chocolate with a creamy, nutty quality brought on by...
Tom Ford Rose Prick Eau de Parfum is a sweeter rose-centered fragrance that has a more peppery, spiced opening that has a lush greenness to it for the first hour or so before shifting into a more spiced vanilla and rose duo that gets smokier as the drydown appears and brings lots of patchouli to...
Dior Spice Blend Eau de Parfum has a splash opening full of aromatic, sparkling spices with dark rum and fresh ginger, but it shifts quickly into a soft, almost blurry mix of lightly spiced rum.
It is described as combining "the most potent and the freshest spices with the tangy...
Slumberhouse Ore (2022) Perfume Extrait is a true journey through well-calibrated notes that are discernible while harmonizing in an exceptional way. It first reveals dark, smoky balsam and resin with rich cocoa accented with wisps of vanilla, and then later on, spiced, golden amber, patchouli, and...

Tom Ford Eau de Parfum initially has you wondering how the rose is going to show up, because it has an aromatic, fresh and green opening over smooth leather. The rose starts subtly and gets stronger after about a half hour through the drydown, but the fragrance was more of a soft, sweet rose...
Diptyque Tam Dao Eau de Toilette is a sweetly spice, aromatic wood fragrance that starts off with a more pine-like woodiness that transforms into a cedar-sandalwood mix--creamy but aromatic--and then eventually, heavy on sandalwood in its smooth, creamy form with rose to round it out. The drydown...
Profumum Roma Vanitas Eau de Parfum starts as spun cotton candy, sweet enough to give your tooth an ache, before deepening as lemon-orange citrus seemed to temper some of that pure sugar intensity. Despite not being listed at all, it smelled more like raspberry syrup over time as amber, possibly...
Profumum Roma Dulcis in Fundo Eau de Parfum is warm, orange-drizzled vanilla cake that goes from slightly sharper citrus notes to creamier, sweeter, more candied notes. The vanilla started more sugary, then developed a more caramelized aspect--a touch of spice, depth from thickness and richness--and...
