    La Nuit de L’Homme Review: The Night of Who?

    La Nuit de L’Homme. The cologne that has started many a fragrance journey, and the fragrance that has started many a fling.  It’s also a fragrance with a cult following, a whole number of noses lined up in a row waiting for a waft to come their way so they can finally feel alive again.…

  • Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Review: You Know, Like the Name Says

    Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille Review: You Know, Like the Name Says

    Like tobacco? Yeah? How about vanilla? Another yes?  Then you’re in for a treat.  Luckily for us, it seems that Tom Ford saved all of the creativity and brain power for the scent itself, and not the name of this beauty. Like you’d expect, Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille is a tobacco and vanilla heavy unisex…

  • Azzaro Wanted by Night: Are You Scared of the Dark?

    Azzaro Wanted by Night: Are You Scared of the Dark?

    Let’s talk about Azzaro’s Wanted by Night. If you’re new to the world of heavy winter or nighttime fragrances, this one is an amazing segue into that world. It’s quite good; sweet, but not cloying, heavy but not too heavy, warming but not unpleasantly so.  This is more than some generic, sweet-synthetic mess; it’s a…

  • Lalique Encre Noire Review: A Forest, But A Lonely One

    Lalique Encre Noire Review: A Forest, But A Lonely One

    Lalique’s Encre Noire is a perfume akin to wearable art. Less a cologne in the mass-produced, spray-and-forget sense of the word, Encre Noire is an abstract composition that exudes introspection, loneliness, and darkness. As such, I was expecting to like it.  I was expecting right. It’s easily one of the most expensive, premium smelling scents…

  • Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Review: Got Grass?

    Tom Ford Grey Vetiver Review: Got Grass?

    Few things in this world are truly clean. Instead of operating in hard lines, they shift and swirl, turn you around and leave you wondering where you started and where you hoped you’d end up. Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver isn’t anything like that; it truly is clean, offering a modern-professional scent for men that manages…
