Amouage/Gold for women, edt
In 1983, the Sultan of Oman requested a perfume house be created to reflect the proud heritage and traditions of his country in creating fragrances that are among the world's finest and most exotic.  Thus the House of Amouage was born, and in 1988 it debuted its first perfume, the ultra-luxuriant Gold.  Along with prized Omani silver frankincense and rock rose, Gold was formulated with over 100 natural oils and essences.  Top notes are rock rose, lily-of-the-valley and frankincense; heart notes include myrrh, patchouli, orris and jasmine; and base notes are ambergris, musk, civet, cedarwood and sandalwood. Some say this scent is old-fashioned, but to me Gold is the smell of old-world, old-money elegance.

Amouage/Jubilation 25 for women, edp
In late 2007, Amouage launched two new fragrances to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their perfume house. Jubilation 25 is the women's scent (the company also created a Jubilation XXV for men), a sexy but refined floral-oriental with a chypre vibe.  It is a difficult fragrance to describe: to me it smells like an expensive woman—a sleek, very feline woman—swathed in a fur coat.  There is an oily tang to the fur that clings to the woman's creamy flesh, and there is the scent of an exotic bloom in her hair, but she is a woman of refinement, so her sex appeal stays slightly under wraps, just beneath the surface.  Am I making any sense?  Well, maybe a list of fragrances notes will help: tarragon, rose, lemon, ylang-ylang, davana, labdanum, frankincense, amber, musk, vetiver, myrrh and patchouli.

Bond No. 9/New Haarlem, edp

Bond No. 9 is based in NYC and its scents celebrate the splendors of this world-class metropolis.  New Haarlem is a bold scent that captures the frenetic energy of Harlem and its artists, particularly its musicians.  Coffee (yes, coffee!), bergamot, cedar, vanilla, patchouli, and lavender are the notes that make up this great unisex scent.  New Haarlem is long lasting and perfectly blended.

Caron/Parfum Sacre, edp
With notes of lemon, mace, cardamom, orange blossom, rose, jasmine, myrrh, vanilla, civet and cedarwood, this “sacred” oriental perfume is a classic, full-bodied, warm scent.  There are no harsh edges to this fragrance; it is the smell of sweet spices intertwined like lace around the rich florals, vanilla, and resinous myrrh in this seamless blend.

Caron/Yatagan, edt
Named after a Turkish saber with a curved blade, Yatagan is a ferociously dry and austere men’s scent from the legendary house of Caron in Paris.  The best description of it comes from perfume blogger Colombina (of Perfume-Smellin’ Things), who called it “one of those odd, ugly-beautiful scents that somehow manage to be surprisingly wearable….Yatagan smells of grass, moss, earth, leather, and hot, hungry, cruel bodies.”

Chanel/Chance, edp
Chance is one of the newest Chanel fragrances from the esteemed fashion house, and though it doesn't get much love from the perfume-blogging community, I bought it after smelling it on two very different, very elegant women (one young, one much older) on whom it smelled thoroughly modern and chic.  This is a pinkishly-sweet floral scent that starts off with bright, pink pepper and lemon top notes, followed by heart notes of hyacinth, jasmine and iris, and base notes of amber, patchouli, vetiver, and white musk.  Though widely available in eau de toilette form, Chance appears to have recently been discontinued in the eau de parfum concentration, which is the concentration I have (edp).

Chanel/Coromandel, edt

Part of the Chanel “les exclusifs” collection of scents (available only at Chanel boutiques and Bergdorf Goodman), Coromandel is a gorgeously soft and refined oriental inspired by the Chinese screens that Coco Chanel collected and installed in her private apartments on the Rue Cambon.  Notes of rich amber and elegantly dry patchouli are softened by benzoin (a tree resin possessing vanilla-like properties) and frankincense.  In an article in Allure magazine, writer Judy Bacharach described Coromandel as “weighted by frankincense,” a description I love because it’s so true to the fragrance and because the weight of frankincense is akin to the weight of smoke: a gentle wafting of warm, slightly-woody-slightly-fruity, heavenly ether.

Chanel/No. 22, edt
No. 22 is said to have been named either for the year of its creation, 1922, or from it being the 22nd fragrance sample that perfumer Ernest Beaux offered to Mademoiselle Chanel.  Launched a year after No. 5, its famous sister, No. 22 was "presented in 1928 to a world yearning for lightness to dispel the gloom of difficult economic times," according to the Chanel website.  A whoosh of sparkling, champagne-like aldehydes is met with a cascade of white florals: white rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley, lilac, and orange blossom.  At the heart of this fragrance is warm ylang-ylang and orchid, followed by a base of vanilla, incense and vetiver.  No. 22 was relaunched in 2007 as part of Chanel's "les exclusifs" collection.

Coty/Ambre Antique, edp
This is a VINTAGE 1940s eau de parfum from the once grand house of Coty.  Long before it began making drugstore fragrances, the house of Coty was considered one of the premier perfume houses of Paris.  Founder François Coty was the first perfumer to hire the great French ceramist, Lalique, to design bottles for his perfumes.  Ambre Antique is a rare vintage find, a scent discontinued long ago and widely sought after, though not often found, at estate auctions.  It is a rich amber scent that melts into the skin like French vanilla ice cream.

Coty/Chypre, edp
The famous writer Dorothy Parker (she of the bobbed hair and acerbic wit who held court at the Algonquin Round Table in the 1920s) is said to have reeked of Coty Chypre, a scent that was considered modernly rebellious at the time.  She was not alone in her love for it: after Coty created Chypre, other perfume houses began producing variations of the scent to the point that the word “chypre” (pronounced sheep-ra) came to denote an entire olfactory family in perfumery.  Oddly enough, Coty discontinued producing its famous perfume sometime in the late 1970s, which is the vintage of the bottle in my collection.  Notes include Sage, Thyme, Bergamot, Jasmine, Rose, Spices, Oakmoss, Labdanum and Patchouli.

Creed/Fleurs de Bulgarie, edp
The perfume house of Creed was founded in London in 1760 and became such a favorite of the aristocracy that Queen Victoria appointed Creed as the official supplier of the Royal household.  In 1854 it moved its operations to Paris, under the patronage of Empress Eugenie, and today Creed is as well known for both its celebrity clientele and its reputation for searching out the world’s finest natural essences.  Fleurs de Bulgarie is a marriage of Bulgarian rose essences with ambergris and musk, which gives the scent great lasting power.  On my skin, the ambergris makes me smell as if I bathed with veeery expensive soap.

Donna Karan/Black Cashmere, edp
When I wear Black Cashmere, I know I won’t smell like anyone else.  Saffron is the prominent note of this perfume, and the initial spray is indeed the feeling of blackness—a startling dark, even rough, brew, like unrefined Jamaican rum.  So where is the cashmere, the softness?  It’s the close-to-the-skin feeling that the scent soon settles into, when the intense spice notes soften and the woody base notes emerge.  In addition to saffron, notes include clove, rose, white pepper, Ethiopian incense, vanilla, amber, patchouli, and African wenge wood.

Frederic Malle/Bigarade Concentree, edp
In 2006, the New York Times hired Chandler Burr as its first-ever perfume critic, and I ordered this from the Frederic Malle boutique in Paris based on nothing more than Burr’s description of it: “Bigarade smells like a person trapped in a complex weather system, the wonderful scent of a guy’s armpit and a woman’s humid skin washed in fresh rainwater and ozone...It is a masterful juxtaposition, and smelling Bigarade is like looking down into a well of cool, black water.”  As it turned out, Bigarade (the french term for “bitter orange”) smelled nothing like Burr’s description.  On me, it is a bright orange scent that reminds me of getting juicy tangerines at Christmas, offset by the earthy smell of hay or cut grass.  Notes are bitter orange essence, a touch of rose, hay, and cedar.

Frederic Malle/Carnal Flower, edp
Stunningly, stunningly beautiful – that is how I would describe Carnal Flower.  It never fails to get me compliments.  If you are a lover of white florals, and of tuberose in particular, you must try Carnal Flower.  Tuberose can often be waxy and fleshy, as in the marvelous tuberose-heavy Fracas; here, however, tuberose has a fresh flowershop quality (but with no diminishment of the flower’s lush, prima donna-like character, its “carnal opulence,” as Frederic Malle describes it).  Expensive, yes, but worth it!!!

Geoffrey Beene/Grey Flannel, edt
One of the most important men’s scents of the 1970s, Grey Flannel is a formal scent that features a not-at-all-shrinking violet as its prominent note.  This violet is accompanied by citrus, oakmoss, sage and sandalwood, and it’s a scent with monster sillage, so not one you want to over apply.  Spritzed judiciously, however, this scent is the perfect accompaniment to a tailored suit and the dry-down is exquisite.

Guerlain/Jicky, pure parfum
I first learned of Jicky in a magazine article about Jackie Kennedy, which told how the chic First Lady sometimes wore the scent at state dinners when she wanted something a little bit naughty to accompany her presence at these formal, stuffy affairs.  The “official” notes include lavender, bergamot, and rosemary, with middle notes of rose and jasmine on a base of tonka bean and vanilla.  So what’s naughty about it?  Anyone who has ever worn Jicky knows that there is some civet in this juice, lending it what perfumistas affectionately refer to as “skank.”

Hermes/Eau des Merveilles, edt
Eau des Merveilles translates to “Water of Wonders.”  A sheer, diaphanous scent with no floral notes in it whatsoever, it is often described as the scent of saltwater-drying-on-skin, as if one spent the day on an isolated beach where there is only the smell of ocean and driftwood.  Eau des Merveilles does open with some brighter orange, lemon and pepper notes, but very quickly it becomes a mélange of salty ambergris and woody vetiver, oak, and cedar.  It’s a very quiet scent, perfect for those looking for a “skin scent” rather than sillage.

Hermes/Hiris, edt
Created by perfumer Olivia Giacobetti for the prestigious fashion house of Hermes, Hiris is a soliflore iris scent, meaning that, though the fragrance includes other notes, the focus is on the iris.  This is one of the most unusual scents I've ever smelled.  At the start, it is the smell of roots and raw earth, as if the iris root had just been pulled from the ground.  In the middle and dry down stages, the iris becomes more powdery and perfumey in just the right measure.  Olivia Giacobetti's scents are like fine water colors: they often have a translucent quality about them.  Hiris is no exception: it is a fragrance that has both a freshness and an ethereal wispiness about it.  Surprisingly, for as soft as it is, Hiris has great lasting power.

Ines de la Fressange/Ines de la Fressange, edp
In the 1970s and 80s, Ines de la Fressange was a famous French model who became the “face” for the house of Chanel and the muse of designer Karl Lagerfeld.  When she and Lagerfeld later had a falling out, Ines started her own design company and released this self-named fragrance in 1999.  Now discontinued, it can be bought at many online perfume discount sites, usually for the price of a song, and yet it is often mentioned on perfume blogs.  A floral scent, notes include bergamot, peach, rosewood, ylang-ylang, lily, carnation, rose, and sandalwood.

Jean Desprez/Bal a Versailles, edt
A rich, complex floral-oriental scent with notes of jasmine, rose, sandalwood, patchouli, musk, amber, and civet.  This fragrance was launched in 1962 and comes in the most old-fashioned looking bottle you’ve ever seen – but don’t be fooled by the packaging.  This dark ambery scent is one of the sexiest perfumes out there and is revered by perfume bloggers who love the way its velvety dark flowers and amber are married to it’s animalic notes (meaning, there’s a good deal of leather and “dirty bits” in Bal a Versailles’ gorgeous drydown).

Jean Patou/1000, edp
It took perfumer Jean Kerleo ten years to perfect this fragrance, named 1000 because it is said that a thousand different submissions were rejected before the final perfume was conceived.  1000 was launched by the house of Patou in 1962, and notes include bergamot, coriander, eucalyptus, angelica, osmanthus, rose, jasmine, violet, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, and civet.  While considered a rich floral bouquet, the edgy green notes lend a chypre-like quality to the fragrance, making this one of the more unusual florals I have ever come across.

Jil Sander/Jil Sander No. 4, edp
Launched in 1990, Jil Sander No. 4 is a floral-oriental fragrance.  It is a rich, full-bodied, classy scent, the kind that demands you be “dressed” to wear it, preferably in a chic suit, a little black dress, or at the very least, a crisp pair of jeans with a cashmere sweater.  Notes for this scent are: rose, geranium, plum, galbanum, violets, jasmine, rose, tuberose, heliotrope, ylang-ylang, carnation, tarragon, myrrh, ambergris, oakmoss, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli and musk.

Kenzo/Jungle l'Elephant, edp
Don't let the name scare you!  Created by the fashion house of Kenzo in 1996, Kenzo Jungle l'Elephant is a gourmandy scent that starts off spicy and warm, with notes of mandarin, cardamom, cumin, and clove.  As it dries down, the fragrance becomes gently sweet and creamy while retaining its spice.  This is not a syrupy scent; it is more like an exotic, cardamom-laced rice pudding: there is an earthy, nutty quality to the sweetness, as if this was a rice pudding made with fragrant Basmati rice.  While some find this a "big" scent, it is classified as a soft oriental, and I find the latter description more accurate.  In addition to spice, there is ylang-ylang, licorice, mango, heliotrope, patchouli, vanilla, amber and cashmeran.

L'Artisan Parfumeur/Tea for Two, edt

When craving comfort, I like nothing better than to curl up with a cup of tea, steaming hot, with a splash of cream and sugar.  Perhaps that’s what perfumer Olivia Giacobetti had in mind when she created Tea for Two, a scent of smoky Lapsang Souchong tea lightly sweetened with soft spices, honey and vanilla.  The smoky tea note lends an intriguing sexiness to the scent, while the middle and base notes lead to a drydown that is creamy and cuddly soft.  Tea for Two is the olfactory equivalent of tea by the fireplace.  Notes are: Lapsang Souchong tea, ginger, anise, cinnamon, honey and vanilla.

Molinard Habanita, edt
Habanita was created in 1921, not as a fragrance for the skin, but as a scent for cigarettes.  By 1924, the Molinard company had relaunched Habanita as a perfume for women, and though it has since been reformulated, it is still being produced today in both the pure perfume and eau de toilette (edt) concentrations.  The scent being offered here is the edt version: a tobacco-y beauty that is very long lasting.  Imagine a cigar dipped in a glass of sherry before being lit, its wafting smoke carrying hints of fruits and leather that eventually give way to delicate underpinnings of sweet, powdery florals.  Top notes include bergamot, peach, strawberry, and orange blossom; heart notes are rose, ylang-ylang, orris, and lilac; and base notes include heliotrope, leather, vanilla, cedarwood and benzoin.

Mona di Orio/Nuit Noire, edp
“Imagine yourself in the souks, gardens and hams of old Tunis,” perfumer Mona di Orio says in describing this scent on her website.  “The darkness falls, the air seems to grow even hotter as the moon rises, and your entranced nose is greeted with the mingled scents of orange flowers, cardamom and ginger, which veil a headier fragrance of cloves, balsamic resins, precious woods, and all the olfactory heritage of the gorgeous East.”  Ah, indeed, Nuit Noire is all that, and more.

Montale/Black Aoud, edp
The perfume house of Montale is renowned for its Arabian-inspired fragrances that make use of the precious tree resin known as “aoud” or “oud” (pronounced like “out” but with a d instead of a t at the end).  Aoud is extracted from the root of the agarwood tree, aged in a cave for several years, and then extracted for use in perfumes and incense.  It is a highly unusual smell, often described as sharp, pungent, and even medicinal, yet when paired with the plushest of rose essences—as it is in Black Aoud—the outcome is a fragrance that is deep bodied and yet surprisingly smooth.  This is not your grandmother’s rose perfume: it’s the dark, dusky rose of the desert.

Parfums de Nicolai/Sacrebleu, edp
Patricia de Nicolaï hails from perfume aristocracy: the granddaughter of Pierre Guerlain, she trained under Jean-Paul Guerlain, retired master perfumer of the legendary Guerlain house. Under her own company, she creates scents she describes as “refined, elegant, and with a certain discretion.”  Sacrebleu is a French term of astonishment akin to “Good Heavens!” but the fragrance smells equivalent to its more literal translation: “sacred blue."  Cassis, raspberry, peach and apricot top notes combine with carnation, jasmine, tuberose and cinnamon heart notes in a most unusual way: This is not a pink fruity-floral scent at all, but rather like a blackberry wine that has been infused with white flower petals and gentle spices.  Incense and sandalwood provide a warm base that holds the fruit notes in check.  Sacrebleu is an intriguing balance of sumptuousness and delicacy.

Parfums DelRae/Amoureuse, edp
When San Francisco designer DelRae Roth hired famed French perfumer Michel Roudnitska to create fragrances for her, a niche house was born: one combining the modern sensibilities of an American designer with the finest tradition of classic French perfumery.  Amoureuse was created in the South of France, but inspired by the “wonderfully seductive and fragrant Victorian Box trees that line the streets of San Francisco.”  Described as the “classic duality of floral and green,” Amoureuse has notes of tangerine, cardamom, French tuberose,  French jasmine, Tahitian ginger lily, cedar moss, sandalwood, and honey.

Pascal Morabito/Or Black, edt
A leather-chypre scent for men, Or Black has notes of bergamot, pepper, leather, sage, cistus, vetiver, amber, musk, and oakmoss.  This scent is very difficult to find in the United States, and if you do find it, it tends to be quite pricey as it was discontinued and is now only available in limited edition silver-plated bottles from the Pascal Morabito boutique in Paris (which is where I ordered my bottle from).  This scent is dry, peppery, and all about the leather.

Robert Piquet/Fracas, edp
The.Classic.Tuberose.Scent.Of.All.Time.  Yes, Fracas is the definitive tuberose scent that all perfumers think about when they are trying to create the next great tuberose perfume.  Be forewarned: Fracas is a diva scent, and more than a few people have difficulty with it, saying Fracas has a tendency to wear them, and not the other way around.  Here the tuberose is a waxy, fleshy, voluptuous dominatrix—and though Fracas also has orange blossom, jasmine, violet and iris notes, in this scent they are the wallflower girlfriends who have followed tuberose to the club and who nod in admiration while she dances on the bar.

Serge Lutens/Un Lys, edp
Un Lys is considered a soliflore, as it focuses primarily on one note: the lily.  Un Lys is the softest, prettiest, most realistic and natural smelling lily I have ever smelled in a perfume.  There is a bit of vanilla and sandalwood that accompanies the lily, specifically in the gorgeous drydown.  Like Chergui, Serge Lutens has made Un Lys available in the United States for a limited time, as it is actually part of the non-export line.  Enjoy this magnificent scent while you can!

Tauer Perfumes/Lonestar Memories, edt
Ever dream of being a cowboy?  If you have, this is the scent for you, dude, but be warned: if your woman has romantic cowgirl notions, she'll lasso this one and ride away with it faster than you can saddle your horse.  Lonestar Memories is the smell of cowboy leather, a low-banked campfire, and vast grasslands.  Much later into the journey, the smell of prairie sage, leather and woodsmoke gives way to the smell of wildflowers blooming along the open trail.  Believe it or not, this olfactory masterpiece about Texas is actually the work of Swiss perfumer Andy Tauer.  Fragrance notes include: geranium, carrot seed, clary sage, birchtar, cistus, jasmine, cedar wood, myrrh, tonka, vetiver, and sandalwood.
