Parfumerie Generale Felanilla ~ perfume review
My “to review” list is now so alarmingly long that I try not to look at it at all for more than a few seconds at a time. Yesterday, in despair, I decided to cross out all of the niche fragrances I wasn’t even interested in smelling again and could barely remember from the first try (scents that “fill my head with a deep, profound, Zen-like nothingness”, to quote March at Perfume Posse).

Now that winter has arrived despite my protests, as it usually does, I’ve pulled out two Parfumerie Generale fragrance releases from earlier in the year: Cadjmere and Un Crime Exotique. Both of them were “too much” when I first tried them in warmer weather; today, they get their second chance.
Cadjmere starts out sharp and green, with a short-lived hint of something that smells vaguely industrial and toxic mingling with a bit of orange-y citrus…
