Grumpy Monday: Ex Vinis Fragrances and a Prize Draw

From the least to the most unappealing:

Ribes Rubrum - S-Perfume 100% Love on steroids (the most interesting of the six scents- an appealing blend of drunken cranberries and fairly dirty musk)

Anthemis Nobilis - an overpriced budget version of Yatagan

Armeniaca Vulgaris - vanilla, in big doses probably indeed Vulgaris

Piper Officinarum - a fruity-woody scent spoiled by the presence of overly fresh notes, i.e. bergamot and lime, the duo that turned many a good composition into generic "drugstore" concoctions

Rubus Idaeus - Masculinus Genericus

Ananas Sativa - clean-smelling room freshener covering bathroom aromas

Moral of the story: gimmicks in perfume almost never work.

If you would like to try the Ex Vinis fragrances for yourself, please say so in your comment. One randomly chosen commenter will receive a set of six samples.
