Poirier d'un Soir - Miller Harris

"Evocative of the warm honeyed blooms that encircle a pear orchard at dusk"

"Inspired by the contrasting flavours and complex aromas of a ripe pear and its delectable possibilities. Like lights ablaze in a dusking sky, a combination of a fresh Italian bergamot, pear macerating in dark rum extract, black current and tagete introduce a glimpse of warmth and a touch of caramelised sugar. A rich heart of spice, Turkish rose, peony and birch tar oil leave a smoky and earthy core signature. Shadows of top and heart dry down to a smooth base of ambrette seed, white cedar wood and cashmere wood. Poirer d'un Soir is a memorable delight."

Kind of a pear Tarte Tatin confection - soft and woody with sweet caramelised fruity elements. Very pleasant.

In the City of Sin - By Kilian

"A perfume of extrem temptation where every street corner offers the possibility of impromptu encounters and seductions. The fragrance opens with an explosion of spices: Bergamote from Calabria, pink Peppercorns and Cardamom from Guatamala. The perfume then evolves into a heart of Apricots and caramelized Plums held in check by the Turkish Rose Absolute. A light haze of Indonesian Incense entrances and then lends a profound depth, further sustained by Atlas and Virginia Cedar woods and rich Indonesian Patchouli."

A floral fruity gourmand fragrance that starts with rich spicy plum with mid notes of sweet apricot and deep rose becoming very woody and sensuously aromatic at the end.

"One pink foxglove stands by Oisin's resting place. Dewy rose, iris, peach skin, and narcotic champaca absolute. A floral fruity gourmand fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Foxglove was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is David Seth Moltz."

Top notes are citron and palisander rosewood; middle notes are iris, neroli and champaca; base notes are suede, peach, ambergris and immortelle.

A very citrusy start with a mellowing powdered floral mid note and a sweetened spice ending - quite a modern combination.

Glorious (Spirit Collection) - Boadicea The Victorious

"Glorious surprises from the beginning with a hit of glossy, juicy accords loaded with playful mischief. Raspberry, plum and peach mingle on the skin with succulent delight, while apple and pineapple bring a sense of heavenly effervescence. As the fruity tones melt away, Glorious unravels like a fine wine, smooth and utterly divine. The heart of jasmine ensures the palpable feeling of luxury, while the use of cardamom and nutmeg convey the air of nonconformity that has become synonymous with Boadicea the Victorious."

Notes include: Pineapple, plum, fresh elemi, raspberry, peach, apple. Cardamom, balsam, jasmine, nutmeg, rose. Musk, cedar wood, amber, guaiac wood, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, mossy.

This is complex and pleasing. A deep fruity floral fragrance with warmth and spice. There is powdery sweetness and aromatic woody notes that compliment the fragrant fruits beautifully. As well as being pleasurable it has an intricacy that always challenges.

Oyédo - Diptique

"A fresh, joyous and distinguished scent, warmed by sun-drenched thyme, this eau de toilette is named after the city of Edo. As the former name of Tokyo, where very fresh scents, structured upon citrus fruit like yuzu (multifaceted cousin to the lime) were very much in demand, Edo recalls a citrus orchard on the shores of the Pacific."

Citrus, Thyme, Cedar Wood - A luxurious, invigorating, and enchanted display of citrus fruits. Bright lemon, green mandarin, tangy orange, and tamarind make a bright and colorful combination.
