Perfume Reviews
May. 27th, 2020 06:29 pmI decided I wanted to get back into testing my perfumes. I have a few reviews I wrote in my notebook and never typed up, so I'll go ahead and post those so I can get back to testing in earnest.

Crepe de Chine Eau de Cologne E. Millot 1925
Top Notes: Neroli, Italian bergamot, Lemon, Orange, Egyptian basil, Oil of peru, Aldehydes
Heart Notes: Gardenia, Ylang ylang, Carnation, Lilac, Rose oil, Romanian chamomille, Egyptian jasmine
Base notes: Sandalwood, East indian musk, Oakmoss, Vanilla, Vetiver, Benzoin, Labdanum, Indonesian patchouli
This smells like jasmine, soap, and old lady. It is pretty uniformly horrible. The notes sound so interesting, though. I wonder how old the bottle was; that may have contributed. Then again, I pretty much always despise jasmine, so the jasmine may have wrecked it for me. This got passed on.
