This is a gorgeous woody musk with a hint of tart blackcurrant and thankfully not much grapefruit at all (which goes straight cat-pee on me if there's too much). This is a soft, peaceful...

I saw this stuff on ebay for an insanely discounted price and I could not resist. The packaging is sumptuous, with a heavy glass jar and shiny, weighty gold lid. (Bond charges $115 for it, so it...

I have a love-hate relationship with this fragrance. The dry down is beautiful, but initially this fragrance is almost unbearable. So much so that I feel I would have to avoid people for the first...

I like this but something about it hits me right in the back of the throat :(. Lasting power is excellent-- and I like the incense smell combined with something OTHER than vanilla. Yawn....

I'm a fan of West Side. This did nothing for me. Floral and powdery like baby powder. It also doesn't last on me at all. I have to press my nose against my skin to smell any of it. Nobody comments...

I don't get the Angel comparison at all. I've worn Angel off and on for 20 years. This smells old lady floral to me. I prefer woody orientals. Not worth the money to me. Glad all I got was a sample!!
