So, after lurking around here and getting both intrigued and at the same time educated regarding lots of nuts and bolts of the perfume making, first step in this process is obviously finding the right ingredients and materials to work with in the first place. Therefore, since I'm Europe, most of...
As you may know, By Kilian is a niche house that is near and dear to my heart.
I met Kilian himself in summer 2008, where he introduced me to Straight to Heaven, a fragrance that has gotten me more compliments than any other fragrance that I have ever owned. It took a while for me to add a...
Since it's a recession, let's all put our heads together to provide a "cheap but quality" list for our underemployed, or younger fragheads who may not have the cash to drop on a bottle of A*Men, Le Male, or Silver Mountain Water. Here's my list of "Cheap but cheerful" scents that are a step...

I'm not asking which one is better.
My question is if Le 3º Homme could compete with Habit Rouge in terms of quality and composition.

I've been following with interest the thread on the male discussion board (http://www.basenotes.net/threads/276073-Designer-fragance-that-smells-like-a-niche-fragrance), and I'm curious what designer fragrances marketed to women (or for either gender which could be worn by a woman) could fit the...
