I have tried to like this. D.S. Smells like something I have smelled before, maybe one of the Acqua di Gio line. It's quite heavy. It smells like barbasol shaving cream, This is really good. It’s definitely sophistication in a bottle and for the price, it’s unbelievable. The concept seems to be a settler’s home made lye soap, or at least that’s what I’m envisioning. Cologne to them isn't even popcorn at the movies. Initially I thought it was kind of like grapefruit/mango/tropical and so far it seems to stay like that with this freshness that seems maybe is from the “ice notes” or whatever they are called lol either way, if you’re a true escada lover and buy yearly-than go get it, and let me know if you find it cheaper than $72 CAD for 50mls lol. D.S. Whether it be an all botanical perfume … This is an unfortunate pose for lop-faced Bobby. Alas, this to me smells like low-end Holiday Inn/Residence Suites hotel soap they leave in the bathrooms. When I heard of armaf’s version I instantly ordered a bottle. A perfume … DS & Durga White Peacock Lily Eau de Parfum is available in 50 ml ($175) and 100 ml ($260). Interesting and daring release, I might add. It calms down a bit and becomes more of a traditional masculine fougere with a mild funk. Very unique fragrance. As it mellows I smell the sweet marron glace and jasmine. Well I am here to report that dupe, it tis not. Designer D.S. This fragrance to me smells very similar to Kirke Tiziana Terenzi, very similar. Im actually on the fence with this fragrance. if it was all about the openes then i would stop looking for my signature. Recently got an sample of Mojave Ghost. Has slight vibe also of one of those plastic ‘Vicks’ decongestants you stick up your nose. First spray without any previous information was: nice, it is like Stella which I own. The production was apparently discontinued. The following words you will read will try to capture that experience for you, since the internet is woefully ignorant of this scent, and product information is dodgy at best. It’s okay I love CLEAN and most they put out! To be honest, I wanted to review DS & Durga White Peacock Lily 1 even before I smelled it because I could, finally, use a white peacock to illustrate a post. Immediately recognizing the symphonic structure of the name from a town portrayed in a wonderful film entitled: The Quiet Man. The perfume to match: D.S. This is beautiful, so fresh, fruity, summer. Where has this perfume been all this time?? I was in my local drug store and saw a 30ml of this for $20.00 so I picked it up, primarily to see how it stood up to my 2008 100ml bottle. Poor longevity and it lacks a stable ground. Please see On reformulations, or why your favorite perfume doesn’t smell like it used to. I have been wanting this for months and was about to pull the trigger on the large bottle but decided to try it on ScentBox instead. Hit me up, rather you than me. Wonderful cherry fruity notes and warm vanilla vibes are embracing you and transcending through time. This is a new fragrance. I don’t get any sour notes in this either which is great. But I find FDB overpriced as a whole. Read honest and unbiased product reviews … I should preface by saying that i'm an unapologetic joop fan boy (I do apologise for Wow! The fragrance not so much, I have a 10ml of Creed Aventus for her. But if you sat it down in the same company, with some of the more reknown niche houses, you could get away with it. I used to like this scent a lot. Moschino 2 Boy Toy Bubblegum must be puppies BF, both so pretty in pink. Most definitely "traditionally" unisex (I don't care, wear what you like), leaning more feminine. I thought at first, after just sniffing the nozzle, that it would be like 5th Avenue ( which I adore), but I tested it anyway, and was rewarded wth a burst of gorgeous fresh floral, followed a few minutes later by lovely aquatic notes. Not my cup of tea, for sure. Not nearly the same scent but a resemblance and equally masculine. Le parfum est idéal pour le printemps et l'été et l'automne, a un agréable arôme floral-fruité, je le considère féminin, mais en raison du patchouli (je ne suis pas sur, je ne suis probablement pas un parfumeur), il a des notes de masculinité, comme si le parfum de mon homme était mélangé à mon parfum! Panama hats, cane plants, and aged rhum over the finest Caribbean vetyver. It reminds me of breaking open a stem of a plant that has just started to rot. Not Now. The DS&DURGA Auto Fragrance certainly has the power, but the fragrance itself is high quality, conceptual and pleasing. 2nd try yesterday, two sprays to my wrist. It smell less like a male fragrance, unlike the original, yet it's still unisex in my opinion. It’s mature without being vintage, works as an evening fragrance, is daytime appropriate with modest application, and versatile. It has very minimal scent of citrus. The spicy citrus opening is wonderful and the dry down is warm, sweet and lactonic with some of the cardamom still present. It has a bit of spiciness, it's not as fresh and airy, it's more earthy. it's wearable in an easy-going, casual way. Cela ajoute de la sexualité à lui et à moi:). This is the perfect time to use it as spring is around the corner. They don’t have anything in common. My first experience with initio perfumes was a jackpot . all i smell in this is the ozonic violet leaf note & something that smells like ambroxan on a diet (maybe it's a soft hint of immortelle?). Definitely a timeless scent for a man of any age. Here you can read the latest perfume reviews. Tried this the other day and I got confused of what I am smelling. I got a sample of this perfume and have worn it twice - it is a bright apple scent. I like different and dare I say this fit's the bill. Spectacular doesn’t have the ba ba boom factor you’d expect from the alter ego of Alexis. I bought 2 bottles! Perfumer and artist Dawn Spencer Hurwitz has created so many gorgeous, unique fragrances that it seems folly to try to attempt to choose her best works. Smells quite generic to me. KS. I love it. I get a niche quality here and the longevity is beyond outstanding. The saffron note is gorgeous! The name really fits with the bottle. My favourite from the brand. Allure's editors have spritzed nearly every scent that's been released and have fallen in love with but a few. When i first sprayed this frag i really liked it. DUNE WAS REFORMULTED 2 TIMES...SO IN TOTAL WE HAVE 3 VERSIONS...THE FIRST RARE ONE WITH CHRISTIAN DIOR IN THE BIG OVAL SHAPE..THE SECOND IN 2006 WITH CHRISTIAN DIOR IN A SMALL OVAL SHAPE LOGO AND DIOR AT THE BOTTOM...AND LAST REFORMULATION WITH JUST DIOR AT THE BOTTOM AND NO OVAL SHAPE LOGO.... COULD U PLEASE TELL ME WHICH VERSION SMELLS LIKE KINGDOM THE MOST...THAT IS SPICY? This is very similar to Nudiflorum by Nasomatto and Knise Ten. The bottle is pretty, lol. Found this at a stupid deal and finally just said screw it and see what everyone’s talking about. this would be the perfect thing for hipsters to wear in Portland, OR (where IA is located--and also where I live, coincidentally). Designer D.S. Quickly starts drying down to a sharp pronounced floral that’s rather perfumey at heart. However, unisex or more male perfumes tend to open more feminine with my pH. It’s so strange but also really beautiful. It's just way too mild and weak, not great performance, a very "safe" scent as Middle Eastern CPOs go imho and not what I was hoping for after I've read the reviews here. Honestly I am surprised they are the makers of this quite lovely oil because it's a whole lot better than anything else in this price range from them. I get about 8 hours of longevity which is great. I was wearing this perfume during 7 years, it was my signature. The bottle is totally bad ass!!! It is a lime and citrus combo fragrance with woody and green notes in the background. Don't get me wrong, it smells good, but it's a skin scent and it isn't very special. Light, soft, delicate. boozy vanilla, if you are a big fan of spicebomb extreme (like me), you must check it out. It's very mild, a tad smokey-leathery, with an herbal top and a light rose base. It’s now a firm favourite . An unburned incense stick is one of my favorite smells in the world, it reminds me of travelling. It’s so beautiful! Yeah I know; it was hard to maintain composure!) Plus Fremont as a wild card. I see people comparing it with some other fragrance (I don’t know that one), maybe someone wore it once years ago and I liked it, and aqua wood reminds me of that. 7, Fleur de Louis :: Flor y Canto & Anima Dulcis, Splash Orange Amère & Commune de Paris 1871, Blanche Immortelle :: Café Tuberosa :: Cédrat Enivrant, Grand Neroli & Orange Sanguine :: Iris Rebelle, Oolang Infini :: Pacific Lime :: Philtre Ceylan, Riviera Lazuli & Pomelo Riviera :: Rose Omeyyade, The British Bouquet & The Odd Fellow's Bouquet, Esprit de Chine, Esprit de Cuir & Esprit de Chypre, Neroli Blanc :: Rose Irisée & Violette Sacrée, Proximity Amber, Bergamot, Vetiver :: Twist, Etrog Oy de Cologne :: Musk Malabi :: Treazon, Balenciaga Paris :: B Balenciaga :: Cialenga, Le Dix :: L'Essence :: Prelude & Cristobal, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Sweet Pea, Warm Vanilla Sugar, and Black Amethyst, Laugh With Me LeeLee, Something About Sofia & My Place or Yours Gina, Bijan Men :: Bijan Women :: Bijan Nude for Men, Egyptian Musk :: Green Fig oil (brief mention), Sandalo e The & 1920 Extreme :: Sutra Ylang, Bleecker Street :: Brooklyn :: Bryant Park & West Side, High Line :: I Love NY For All :: New Haarlem, Acqua della Macchia Mediterranea (brief mention), Violetta di Parma :: Zagara (brief mention), Bottega Veneta :: Bottega Veneta Eau Legère, Bottega Veneta Pour Homme :: Essence Aromatique, Jaïpur Bracelet :: Miss Boucheron :: Place Vendôme, Fantasy :: Hidden Fantasy :: Midnight Fantasy, Au Delà Narcisse des Montagnes :: Feu Secret :: Lampblack, Brit Rhythm :: Brit Rhythm for Her :: Brit Summer Edition 2012, Burberry For Men, Touch For Men, Brit For Men, London For Men, Aqva Amara :: Aqva Pour Homme & Aqva Pour Homme Marine, Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc :: Eau Parfumée au Thé Bleu, Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert :: Eau Parfumée au Thé Vert Extreme, Jasmin Noir :: Man in Black :: Mon Jasmin Noir, Omnia: Omnia :: Omnia Amethyste :: Omnia Coral :: Omnia Crystalline :: Omnia Green Jade :: Omnia Indian Garnet :: Omnia Paraiba :: Omnia Pink Sapphire, Apple Brandy :: Back to Black: Aphrodisiac & Pure Oud, Imperial Tea :: Incense Oud :: Love and Tears, Prelude to Love :: Sacred Wood :: Sweet Redemption, Rose of No Man's Land :: Sundazed :: Super Cedar, ck be :: ck free : ck in2u :: ck one :: ck one shock for her :: ck one summer 2012, Dark Obsession :: Deep Euphoria :: Downtown, Chevrefeuille :: Gardenia :: Tangerine (formerly Homme), Carlos Santana for women :: Carlos Santana for men, Délire de Roses :: Farnesiana :: Fleurs de Rocailles :: L’Accord Code 119, Parfum Sacré & Parfum Sacré Intense :: Pour Un Homme, Baiser Volé :: Baiser Volé Eau de Toilette & Extrait, Déclaration & Déclaration Essence :: Déclaration d’un Soir :: Déclaration Parfum, Eau de Cartier & Eau de Cartier Essence d’Orange, Eau de Cartier Essence de Bois :: Eau de Cartier Vétiver Bleu, Le Baiser du Dragon :: L’Envol :: Les Heures du Parfum, Carven Le Parfum :: Carven L'Eau de Toilette, At The Beach 1966 :: CB MUSK :: In The Library, Mr. Hulot's Holiday & Russian Caravan Tea, Just Breathe, Burning Leaves & Gathering Apples, M#2 Black March :: M#4 A Room With A View :: Memory of Kindness, Bleu de Chanel :: Bois des Iles :: Bois Noir, Chance, Chance Eau Tendre & Chance Eau Vive, Cristalle :: Cristalle Eau Verte :: Cuir de Russie, Les Exclusifs: 1932 :: 1957 :: 28 La Pausa :: 31 Rue Cambon :: Beige :: Bel Respiro :: Boy Chanel :: Coromandel :: Jersey :: Misia :: Sycomore, No. Not sure I would buy it again in the new formulation - and bear in mind it’s been in my collection since 2002. As of march 21, from my favorite discounter, I could get full tester bottles of Mont Blanc Legend Spirit, Mercedes Benz Club Black and Coach Platinum and Mont blanc Explorer for the same price as one single bottle of Sauvage EDP. But it’s a little mature smelling. a light, more "unisex" spice. Is roja maybe a little overpriced, sure, but are they just better quality than 90 percent of niche frags. I have to say this one smells closest to the extrait in my opinion. Reading/watching fragrance reviews is a good place to start, as people will normally include this information, then you can get samples and test them on your skin (and ask your friends). At worst, people will say "for real men" or "not for kids" which is the stupidest thing ever. A little girl who really, really, really, wants to wear perfume, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE??? Why? http://www.fmgroup-global.com - Beware of the cheap perfumes, who sell in the street , never tested for the quality and are without any certificate. Yes it’s simple, and linear (and expensive). As a 50 yr old woman this fragrance is totally bomb!! A good scent with great value. As a honey/amber fragrance, it's the heaviest and warmest of all my honey perfumes -- including Pure Honey (honey/beeswax), Winnie the Pooh (honey/milk), Prestige Honey (honey/jasmine), and Elie Saab Le Parfum (honey/orange blossom). Maison Francis Kurkdijan Aqua Vitae smells extremely fresh, like spring water with a splash of citrus. As pioneers in DIY Brooklyn, we started from scratch and did it our way (more Sid than Sinatra). Ore hits you with a raw, 90% East Timorese chocolate whack in the face within the first few seconds. Let me say that Mancera makes fragrances that are on steroids, very bright and deep. It has that similar feel as Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita & Ouai Melrose Place, but the longevity and sillage is better than the aforementioned.
