As you may know, Nick Gilbert, my scented partner in crime and I run a perfumed Twitter project called ‘@Fragrantreviews’, in which we review fragrances in 140 characters or less. Well, if you didn’t you do now and you’re in luck because it’s that time of the month where we round up all of the reviews from the last 30 days. Without further ado, I bring you all of our reviews posted in May 2016! They range from the sublime to the disappointing, and all that’s in between!

Dior Diorissimo (Vintage): The effervescent air around muguet; green, indolic, waxy and jasmine-fresh. A euphoric wonder of perfumery *****

— Fragrant Reviews (@fragrantreviews) May 1, 2016

 

Mugler Angel Muse: Angel goes soft in her old age, smothering herself in Nutella & whipped cream. Nutty & warm but unmistakably ‘Angel’ ****

Mugler Woodissime: Smoky woods offset by a strange, jelly-like peach note. Starts promising but fades to conventional and on-trend oud ***

Hermes Muguet Porcelaine: A luminous and zingy modern lily of the valley, fresh and aqueous without traditional references. White-green ****

Hermes Eau de Neroli Doré: Soapy cologne, sparkling and reflective. Use with a neroli soap for ultimate in cleanliness and sunshine. *****

Hermes Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate: A tangy fresh rhubarb, slight ginger and grapefruit facets, with a hint of laundry. Tangy sweet ****

Narcissi Rodriguez NARCISO Poudrée: A warmer take on N’s expansive & abstract gardenia with subtler musks and a hint of make up powder ***

— Fragrant Reviews (@fragrantreviews) May 5, 2016

 

L’Occitane Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc: If soft beige had a smell. Sweetly earthy iris cream with just a hint of dewy violet. Ionone Heaven ****

Jo Malone London Nashi Blossom: Stunning bottle filled with a passable white floral that is waxy and sharp. The bottle deserved more **

— Fragrant Reviews (@fragrantreviews) May 22, 2016

 

4160 Tuesdays Flora Psychedelica: Vintage, aldehydic white floral, all powdery & puffed with a refreshing absinthe bite. Prismatic ****

Armani Code Profumo: Liquorice and leather aged with tonka bean and amber. A full tuxedo of a scent shaded in rich mahogany ***

— Fragrant Reviews (@fragrantreviews) May 24, 2016

 

MUGLER A*Men Pure Tonka: A*Men is thrown into the fire and left to caramelise into oblivion. A vanilla asteroid scorched upon entry ***

— Fragrant Reviews (@fragrantreviews) May 25, 2016

 

Mizensir Eau de Gingembre: A marvellously fresh and green ginger, airy and cool, with a hint of fig leaf and woods. Zingiber. ****

Mizensir Little Bianca: The most stunning powdery rosy eau de cologne you will ever smell. A masterpiece. *****

— Fragrant Reviews (@fragrantreviews) May 27, 2016

 

Guerlain Shalimar: Bergamot glitter woven into buttery brown velvet composed of amber, iris and smoky vanilla. Simply the very best *****

Ulrich Lang Aperture: Rich, fruity leather with an animalic sourness that feels distinctly human. Two bodies intertwined in passion ****
