Posted on October 22, 2014 by Olfactoria

The Star-Trek Amber – Review: Amouage Opus VI

Posted on March 9, 2012 by Olfactoria

I have withstood the siren song of Amouage’s Opus line fairly well until now. Although I like especially Opus I and Opus III just fine, I have not yet been tempted to acquire a full 100ml bottle so far. Now there … Continue reading →

Three Reasons – Review: Amouage Reflection Woman

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Olfactoria
