Natural Perfumes reviewed on Perfume Critic

[Guest guest]

Marlen, the Perfume Critic has been increasingly supportive of

natural perfumes, despite his self-admitted love of strong, loud

mainstream perfumes with a long drydown. Marlen wants many hours of

drydown. Oh, and his skin eats my perfumes, he says they vaporize,

and that's amazing since most report they last for hours. So he's a

tough critic, for sure.

He's reviewed two natural perfumes on today's blog:

http://www.perfumecritic.com/

He gives of Eie Flud a 10 for her Countryman, and Guild

member JoAnne of LeBijou a 7.5 for her Camille. Great ratings from a

tough critic. I believe Guild member Ayala got a 9 or 10 from him,

also, within the past year.

isn't on this group anymore, she helped me a lot after some

nastiness occurred here, a self-appointed Mata Hari for want of a

better term, ;-) then disappeared. Glad to hear she's still making

perfumes and getting them out to the mainstream critics for

evaluation. I think that like JoAnne, she doesn't use animal essences

in her creations. JoAnne's perfumes have a light, lovely French

aesthetic, about a 180 from Marlen's typical scents, so her 7.5

rating is a great accomplishment. His view of her osmanthus use shows

he now realizes that although a mainstream perfumer may say they use

osmanthus, they don't, and she really does, and knows how to showcase it.
