I've only tried a few of them (thanks to generous Basenoters who shared their samples with me), but I think it'd take me atleast one year of my life to discover all of the Ava Luxe's...
Does this woman Ava ever sleep? And at the bottom of the page it says:
*Please press your browser's "refresh" button to view new fragrance additions.
Apparently new ones may appear at any moment!

Oude is one of the most masculine scents I've tried. It's all dark and smokey. Those of you who like Black Cashmere may like this one, but there is no foral notes in it and it's a whole lot richer.

Shisha is like Bulgari Black without rubber.

Fumari is like a warm glowing Messe de Minuit.

I really love Kama, though.

S Thank you so much S, for clear, concise descriptions of the above scents!
I have being waiting for a coherent mini reveiw of Shisha on here and other fragrance forums and yours is the clearest I have seen. Unfortunately this means I now need a bottle of this!

"Bulgari Black without rubber..." Does this mean that it is similar to L'Artisans Dzing?

Here is the problem. Not one fragrance lasted more than 20-30 minutes on me or my Wife. No point in buying any. Did you try the parfum strengths? My skin tends to eat most perfumes for breakfast, so when possible I prefer to buy parfum. That is the strength that I purchase all of my Ava Luxe scents in. I also tend to prefer her heavier scents also.
You, and your lovely wife, may find that the longevity improves if you try the parfum version.

It should also be noted that the most complete listing of all Ava Luxe scents is on the fragrance menu page (the link is at the top of the home page 'fragrance'). This includes her Vintage blends / types which are not included in the main scent list.
These can be very hit and miss. I was seriously put off by her version of Lanvin Scandal but am currently wallowing in the delights of her Chaos type blend.
