A Breton Angel – Review: Lostmarc’h Ael-Mat

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Olfactoria

Pineta – Review: Parfumerie Générale Bois Naufragé

Hattrick – Review: Xerjoff Shooting Stars Dhajala

Posted on July 15, 2011 by Olfactoria

I plowed on through the Xerjoffs with the idea still placed firmly in my mind that one (Oesel) or two (Lua) swallows do not make a summer, meaning it would be unnecessary and money down the drain to purchase the Shooting … Continue reading →
