Angelos Creations Olfactives – Karikia
The Scented Hound

2w ago
WHAT I SMELL:   Karikia confidently opens with a lightly sweetened tobacco and a sueded leather that smells like it would be soft to the touch.  And right from the start it’s dynamic and charming.  Soon, a bit of barnyard enters and the smell of dried hay and grass brings the perfume to the outdoors.  The perfume is buzzing with life with a twist of honeyed tobacco.  Although the perfume is incredibly earthy, there’s also a clean, buttoned up feeling like that of a linen shirt that has been drying in the sun.  The perfume then really begins to dry with a laye ..read more

Maison Rebatchi – Rougewood
The Scented Hound

1M ago
WHAT I SMELL:   Rougewood opens with a juicy combination of ripened warmed berries and grapefruit and with some added peach blossom it’s beautifully decadent and rather lusty without being too heavy or carnal.  Soon, a sweetened caramel note is added to give the fragrance a bit of sugared depth.  However, the caramel is soft and never veers off the dulce meter.  Finally, a sharpened woody note makes it’s way in tempering the sweet which makes the perfume that much more approachable and kind of cuddly.  Right from first spritz, Rougewood feels like it’s an elixir t ..read more

Ella K – Camelia K
The Scented Hound
by The Scented Hound
1M ago
WHAT I SMELL:  Camelia K opens with a sweet almond laced blood orange that becomes even sweeter with an infusion of jasmine.  As the perfume develops, a dash of warmth is added along with a hint of soured orange blossom.  The perfume is buzzingly and achingly sweet with florals that seem to bellow off of the skin.  As the perfume continues on it’s progression, a rather bubblegum hairspray sheen of tuberose seems to appear along with a trace of vanilla.  I am a lover of white floral perfumes, but Camelia K is just too, too, too…well you know what I mean.  But in th ..read more

Universal Flowering – Death of a Ladies Man
The Scented Hound
by The Scented Hound
2M ago
WHAT I SMELL:  Death of a Ladies Man (DLM) opens very green with a warmed grass and basil that is incredibly inviting, very familiar and radiantly beautiful.  An added mix of powdery violet and galbanum makes for something akin to diving into a big bowl of talcum powder wherein you’re the puff.  It’s funny, with all of the powder and talcum, the perfume doesn’t feel feminine.  Instead, it’s delightfully sophisticated in a masculine way like an ascot of days gone by.  As the perfume begins to settle, an undercurrent of a metallic note reveals itself which pulls DLM away ..read more

Mona di Orio Domaine

WHAT I SMELL:  Domaine graces the skin with a warm buttery and creamy green opening.  It’s abundantly rich and intoxicatingly lush.  As the initial intoxication fades, the perfume’s development unfolds subtly and quietly and tonka discretely emerges in the base, adding depth and warmth.  The lily of the valley here however is not what we think of as spring-like that’s light and airy.  Instead, a touch of earthy richness binds the lily of the valley to the other notes.  Here, this soliflore perfume resides like a heavenly body for eternity.  Domaine is beyond ..read more

Juliette Has a Gun Lust for Sun

WHAT I SMELL:  Lust for Sun opens with a soft bergamot and a sweetened freesia that becomes intensely sweet with the inclusion of ylang ylang.  In short time there’s a light coconut that seems to hover beneath the florals and which seems to add more oomph to the overall heady sugared flowers.  Soon after, a hazy musk like puffs of cotton joins in to draw some of the sugar out.  And there’s an undercurrent of some soured note that combined with the sweet and cottony reminds me a bit of a dirty pee filled diaper.  Thankfully, after a bit, that soured note dissipates and ..read more

ByBozo Date in Paris

5M ago
WHAT I SMELL:  Date in Paris opens with an infusion of herb and citrus that is very unexpected and incredibly unique.  But In quick manner the perfume moves to the sea with a salty aquatic note that becomes the central character.  Slowly, a soft floral note of heliotrope seems to drift right below the aquatics which gives the perfume the sensation of salt infused lipstick.  It’s an interesting twist combining the refinement of beauty with the earthy qualities of the salty sea.  As it continues on, Date in Paris starts to warm and radiate with the florals seemingly bein ..read more

RudRoss Proud

6M ago
WHAT I SMELL:  Proud opens with a puddy like melon and a blunt and flattened pear note that quickly moves to a dusty musk.  This is a strange opening that feels as if it was born in the future.  And what i mean by that is that it feels incredibly modern as if it was conceived through a laboratory.  After a bit, a floral note begins to break out from underneath the plastic clapboard and it helps to soften the base which has moved towards a woody note. After some more time, a softened vanilla makes it’s way in to help sweeten the now lovely perfume.  There’s a bit of mys ..read more

New Release: Puredistance Papilio
The Scented Hound
by The Scented Hound
6M ago
WHAT I SMELL:  Papilio opens with a soft and serene warmed magnolia that immediately hugs the skin.  It’s enchanting, rather demure and very inviting.  The soft florals blend with just a hint of the vegetal which brings the earth towards the ethereal bouquet.  Blended so incredibly, the perfume at this point is less the sum of notes and is more of an expression of peacefulness with an added layer of fresh dewiness.  Papilio slowly builds in a radiant warmth that seems to born in a soft breeze emanating from the skin as it moves and lifts to the nose.  The perfume ..read more

Altaia Atacama
The Scented Hound
by The Scented Hound
6M ago
WHAT I SMELL:  Atacama opens with warmed saline infused earth that feels unmeasured in its vastness.  It’s serene right from the beginning with just the perfect mix of dew and salt.  Slowly, a mix of florals enters to add an additional measure of softness along with just a hint of caramel buttered creaminess.  The perfume retains its salt of the earth feel as it begins to grow with an woodiness that can only be described as remnants left by a hard rain on the ocean mixed with the driftwood that has been swept up on the shore surrounded by flowers glistening in the sun.  ..read more
