The Bleu de Chanel fragrance is available in a complete line of shaving and grooming essentials, including an eau de parfum, parfum, and eau de toilette.

Creed Aventus

Aventus celebrates strength, vision, and success, inspired by the dramatic life of Emperor Napoleon. The bottle is emblazoned with a silver emblem of a horse and rider. The finest ingredients were hand-selected for this composition, and father and son developed this provocative, masculine, and optimistic fragrance as a joint effort.

Aventus opens with hand-picked Calabrian bergamot, leading into exotic notes of pineapple and lemon, tinged with pink pepper. The juiciness of these top and heart notes is balanced by cedar, birch, and oakmoss base notes, adding a touch of dark complexity to this long-lasting Eau de Parfum.

Aventus For Her is the feminine counterpart to the men's fragrance. It is a floral and fruity Eau de Parfum, with head notes of crisp green apple, fragrant pink pepper, and zesty bergamot. The citrus and fruity character of this perfume blossoms into a floral heart of rose, lilac, and ylang-ylang, drying down to a base of sandalwood, patchouli, musk, and ambroxan.

Dior Hypnotic Poison

The scent is described as warm, spicy, creamy, and mysterious, almost like baked goods. It is an oriental vanilla fragrance with top notes of coconut, plum, and apricot; middle notes of Brazilian rosewood, jasmine, caraway, tuberose, rose, and lily-of-the-valley; and base notes of vanilla, almond, sandalwood, and musk.

The perfume has a strong statement without being overpowering, and it lingers for days or even weeks. It is a longtime favorite for many and is considered a classic. The small amount goes a long way and lasts all day.

The packaging is brilliant, and the bottle is gorgeous. The personal fragrance is considered a great nighttime scent and is perfect for the fall/winter season. It is a good product for the price and is worth buying again.

Tom Ford Black Orchid

Tom Ford's Black Orchid is an oriental floral fragrance for women, launched in 2006. It was created by David Apel and Pierre Negrin of the fragrance company Givaudan. The perfume is described as opulent and classically dark, with a luxurious and sensual fragrance featuring rich, dark traces of black orchid and spices. It is said to be modern yet timeless, with long-lasting power and a widespread aura.

The top notes of Black Orchid include French jasmine, black truffle, ylang-ylang, black currant, and effervescent citrus. In the floral-spicy heart lies Tom Ford's black orchid, an imaginary flower as much as a real one, with additional notes of gardenia, fruity touches, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and lotus. The base combines woody notes of patchouli and sandalwood with dark chocolate, incense, amber, vetiver, vanilla, and balsam.

The scent has received mixed reviews, with some finding it too heavy, dark, or abstract. However, others praise its uniqueness, complexity, and longevity. It is often described as a unisex fragrance, leaning more towards the feminine side, and is considered a bold, sensual, and mysterious choice.
