Perfume Reviews by ShinningLightOfThunder

Oud Royale by Venezia 1920

Very pretty oud fragrance. The start is fresh, citrus goes interestingly with oud. And the rest of the perfume is very cosy, rose is not intrusive.
All in all, well balanced.

Tokyo by Gallivant

This scent smells like a lot of men’s perfumes with similar notes. I wouldn’t recognise it among a bunch. That being said, I suppose it serves Tokyo, as I myself find it rather traditional and oldschool under the modern surface.

Tel Aviv by Gallivant

Sunny and bright, but the scent is bit too much like some face cream. If I smelled it on somebody else, I’d think it’s highly perfumed face cream or even tan lotion, and not a perfume.
It does convey well a feeling of a sunny and hot place, where you’re guaranteed to get tanned and enjoy your time.

London by Gallivant

Bubble gummy mojito rose. Fun and youthful. Lovely scent for summer.

Bukhara by Gallivant

This is a very interesting scent, cosy and warm. The iris has a carrot undertone, which is so peculiar, and oddly to me - nice, and I usually don’t like perfumes that are reminiscent of kitchen garden.

Los Angeles by Gallivant

It’s like a salted honey cake. And when the sweetness goes away, the saltiness is left, and it’s gorgeous.

Brooklyn by Gallivant

Joyful citrus scent, like a melted lemon hard-candy.

Empiryan by Xerjoff

Very lovely earthy light tobacco, with green and citrusy feel even.

Coffee Break : Golden Green by Xerjoff

Lovely scent with light coffee note, leaning masculine.

Coffee Break : Golden Dallah by Xerjoff

Quite beautiful slightly roasted coffee with spices.

Casamorati 1888 by Xerjoff

Ah, the amber note here is just gorgeous - oldschool, balmy, sweet and super cosy.

Acqua by Roberto Cavalli

I expected this fragrance to be more aquatic, but instead it's rather sweet. After a while it smells like soap.

Modern Muse by Estée Lauder

I love white floral notes here. Smells like sunny spring.

Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna

I love it! It smells so luxurious and lasts for a very long period of time! The smell itself reminds me of Thierry Mugler Angel. Just brilliant.

Cherry in the Air by Escada

Very nice cherry at first, but after a while it gets too artificial.

Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden

It's quite nice, could be a sort of a benchmark for tea fragrances. But it lasts only for a very short period of time, like, half an hour at best. I had to spray it and spray it on myself.

Prada Candy by Prada

This was my love for quite a long time. I wore it on special events simply because the scent is very luxurious, definitely not for office wear. The scent lasted extremely long on the skin! And it took only one spray on me for others to notice the scent while many perfumes can be only sniffed off the wrist/neck.

Goldea by Bulgari

Too bad it wears off very quickly (few sprays lasted around half an hour on me) because this sweet scent is just wonderful with gorgeous musky ylang-ylang!

Deseo by Jennifer Lopez

This perfume was very coco-nutty on my skin, even though there is no coconut note in it. But I loved it!!!

Vampire's Love by Essence

Strong vanilla and strawberries, like a hard candy. For it's price it is really quite a gem. Though, it wears off fast.

Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense by Chanel

This is a nice floral perfume, with this slightly dusty feeling. Good for both day and night wear.

Psychedelic Love by Initio

Beautiful heliotrope perfume that it's easy to fall in love with.

Tamarindo by Memo

Gorgeous tropical perfume, elevated with dusty jasmine. Really elegant summer scent.

Coffee Break : Golden Moka by Xerjoff

This is such a gorgeous coffee scent, complex and fresh, not just a coffee note.
