Binxcat's Purrfect Fragrance

Commodity – Nectar Nectar is a release from Commodity in their White Collection.   The fragrance wears on me as a fresh fruity floral/aromatic fruity. When I received my sample of Nectar, I wasn’t sure what to expect.   Nectar may be used to describe things in different contexts.   With Commodity’s Nectar, I find the name both describes the nectar of a juicy fruit as well as the nectar found in floral blossoms. Nectar opens as a bright citrus with touches of neroli.   There is a sunny brightness to the opening and I find that the pomelo and tangerine are evenly balanced.   As Nectar wears, I get a bitter neroli that adds the “flavor” of what feels like a citrus rind.     There is a light honeysuckle that adds a touch of sweetness and lends itself to brighten, almost adding a sunny disposition, to the fragrance.   At roughly 2 hours into wear, there is a background of cedarwood.   The cedar is distant and faint.   More p...

Zoologist Perfumes - Bat So my curiosity got the better of me (as it so often does) and I ordered a sample of this.  After a long and busy week at work, today seemed like a day I would rather crawl into a cave than have one more work day this week - so Bat seemed like a good choice.

Berdous: Vânira Moorea Varira Moorea is an aromatic fruity fragrance from Berdoues. Like with the other few fragrances from the house that I've tested recently, this is fairly linear on me. The best description I have for this juice is that it reminds me of an orange creamsicle without being overly sweet. It's light and playful and pleasant. "Vânira Moorea reveals a wild and sensual vanilla with deliciously addictive notes. A delicate assembly of orange from Brazil, petit grain from Paraguay, and vanilla from Tahiti captures the exoticism of the islands. The fragrance features petitgrain, brazilian orange and madagascar vanilla."
