I tested only 3 of their offferings but two are sublime (Encens Suave & Bois d'Ebene)
the other one is very good (but it's a rose one and I don't like rose very much, apart from a few fragrances)

I bought this perfume at my local Carrefour and it costed me only 2 bucks! this is insane I've tested 1000's of perfumes and I love weird perfumes and original

this perfume is not that, but the smell is very very good for this price

I've never smelled anything like it, it's not the usual deo/crap that smells like trash and is barely noticable (for bottles under $20)
and it's perfectly unisex (not for ladies like stated)
a bit sweet a bit smoky.

I highly recommend it, and it lasts and projects

I think it's a success

Just tried Gucci - The Alchemist's Garden - The Heart of Leo
this is a stunner but very pricey (at 345€ per bottle)
a bit sweet, and bit of iris, really really well done, it's a masterpiece

you can try it at Surrender to Chance

this is a good one

Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier is a very "classy" brand, nothing out of the box but really well done
this is my favourite of the brand

I recently purchased 5 ml bottles at Ecuacion Natural
of the Brand Yanina Yakusheva

my 3 purchases are :
Aron
William
Gideon

and they are all stunning

Aron is very oudy and strange, oudy just like I like it, not banyardy, not fecal
William is fruity bitter with a touch of strangeness
Gideon is just stunning (my favourite of all 3)

I also tested Ravenna which is a deep complexe and weird floral
I highly recommend the brand but it's not for everybody. You need a certain type of nose to appreciate the Art

Totally bugged out but just realized your username is related to perfumes today when I was reading one of those Xard books which was talking about an Ionone. I was like WHAT

Immediately searched for this thread after that!

Thought Jeff's username meant I'm On One.. as in.. he's onto something
