Another fruity-floral ‘oud’ fragrance with lots of plum, rose, a smidgen of ‘oud’, but a melange that smells close to a shampoo, without any distinction or merit and very insubstantial, and eventually dull.
2/5 (negative)

I love it, it’s one of my favorite perfumes!
On me it lasts very long and has a very good sillage, which is weird because perfumes tend to vanish on my skin. It’s lush, sensual, sophisticated and oddly comforting. I smell mostly the saffron and the sandalwood, while the other notes blend comfortably in the background.

unisex but boring, a very poor performer..don’t know what I was thinking when i bought it..money thrown to the wind, never again!!!

This smells very woody to me. I like it.

This is everything that’s generic and mainstream, fruit (plum) and florals (roses) on a woody (oud) backdrop.
It’s extremely feminine, sweetly innocent, a “nice girl” perfume, a safe bet on a first date. It’s nothing like the overly mysterious description on brecourt.fr, boasting lots of oudh and saffron.
But oh, my..
It smells like flowery shampoo as they made it in the nineties and I can’t find anymore, like spending summer with my grandparents, like walking through the forest down to the beach where the handsome boys are. It’s a total guilty pleasure that rats me out as I try to come across as “sophisticated” and “discerning” in my fragrance choices. When oriental fruity florals are properly made, they are GOOD.
I love it. It’s on my “to buy”-list.

There is a little to almost no aoud for me in this perfume, but I can’t say I’m extremely sad about that.
On me Agaressence opens with this sweet syrupy plum + saffron combo, this kind of sweetness might set someone off, but I find it rather enjoyable even though sniffing the wrist closely is a bit headache inducing.
After the first hour or so I do start to get some flowers (mostly rose, no tuberose for me), but it still keeps being dominated by the syrup which I encountered at the start.
A decant perfume, might be a winner for many, but as for me – even though I do enjoy this, the sweetness is a bit too much and I believe one could easily get bored and/or sick with this rather soon.

I love this! It strongly reminds me of Bond No 9 New York for Her. It has the same sexy sweet floral, slightly fruity with a hint of musky aroma. I get a faint candy smell in the beginning, but then it distinguishes itself as all that is woman as it cooks and develops, becoming a feminine floral fruity, without the artificial teenage effect that the Escadas create on me. I already have a full bottle coming!
Also Indiescents has great prices on Brecourt frags. No problems with the shipping or the frag so it’s somewhere else to check when you’re looking to buy. I usually go with ebay, luckyscents, amazon or the perfumeur themselves, but with Brecourt Indiescents has the best price, FYI.

This is my second favourite of the six I have tried. The first being Avenue Montaigne.
VERY floriental. This one also smells familiar to me. It’s not something very different but beautiful all the same.
I would say the Oud is the main note, and this is one of those blends where the tuberose mingles very well with the other notes giving an well rounded scent.
This is a floriental wearing a black dress and pearls. This is a classy lady!
The one downside is this could get a bit headachy if over applied, it’s quite heady and in your face I think.

I agree with moraine in that it does remind one of JC Juicy Couture or even Viva la Juicy… I got my sample from indiescents where they list the notes slightly different as follows:
Saffron, black current, pink peppercorn, oudh, rose, tuberose, amyris, cipriol and gurjum.. (making me have to look up a few things!)
Cipriol: Cypriol nagarmotha essential oil is utilized in perfumes or bases of the woody, oriental type for a foresty note. (assuming it is the same as Cipriol here)
so perhaps moraine is getting this note as a fixative for the balsam note of gurjum in the concoction?
For me though, its all about the plum and the tuberose. I think I do like this. But I tire of tuberose easily. I am also getting a nice rose which I usually steer clear of by about a million miles in my perfumes as it gives me a headache… but not so this rose.
All in all I’ll put this on my list of “I like it” and wear it til my nice sized sample is gone. If I miss it, I’ll probably only get another sample again somewhere down the road. I love too many other perfumes to justify the big bottle at this time.
VIK-T-OR – :
I wouldn’t call this wildly interesting, but it is a good choice if you are looking for a gentle, wearable, “anytime” floriental. For the first few minutes it is sweet fruity caramel a la JC Juicy Couture, but very soon the oud, ylang-ylang, and a subtle curranty spice come in, making it quite sophisticated and grown up. Great longevity, and lovely sandalwood – or am I smelling some fabulous wood I’ve never encountered before? Maybe it’s more interesting than I realize…
I don’t plan to buy a bottle, but I’ll certainly enjoy wearing it while my sample lasts.
