Pointless Perfume Reviews: Last of the Bunch

[smokingboot]

Ah this present of testers has made me so happy! Kept me entertained for weeks, but here we are:

Tom Ford Noir pour Femme; nice chic floral-but-not-really, very soapy 'high' notes for me, pleasant enough but not something I would spend lots of money on.

Tom Ford Bitter Peach: Christ. Uber fruity floor cleaner.

Finally got to try Noir Extreme on R. Yes, it really suits him. Don't know how long it lasts though, but for sure this is a beaut on his skin. Wouldn't be surprised if a bottle magically makes its way towards him around Valentines or his birthday.

Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad; Hate the name. Why not just call it 'Hookah'? See, you get incense and naughty women all together with that one. Jeez. Despite being touted as a floral, I just get loads of fruit, peaches, mangoes, a buzz of coconut done better elsewhere. R hates it and I don't love it.

BDK Citrus Riviera. Hmm. This is a really old scent repackaged. I remember smelling this as a child in the houses of Spanish families living in England, it's citrus with a slightly strange savoury note underneath. Nice memories but not great on my skin.

So where does this leave me?

Not sure at first, now intoxicating: Russian Musk II
Note: Real musk taken from real musk deer (R didn't know this before getting it) alas poor Bambi! So nope.

Loved but need to check: High Frequency, Alexandria II, Baccarat Rouge 540, Amber Cologne, Noir Extreme.

Like but wonder if I'm falling for the name: Love In Black

Nice: Tacit, Noir pour Femme

Discard Pile; Bitter Peach, Good Girl Gone Bad, Citrus Riviera

Discard with Extreme Prejudice Pile: The Moon, Musk Aoud Absolue Precieux

What an awesome Christmas gift!
