Description
“This visit to a market of the East has impressed the senses of Alexander. He liked these powders in bright colors, their softness to the touch. He admired the precious and carved woods. He has let himself be imbued with their majesty, their power.
But the most striking was the profusion of flowers. Sewn in crowns, braided in thick mats, they radiated like jewels fragile but eternal.
Alexandre.J captured these emotions, slipped them into a flask. On a background of noble and amber woods, the jasmine blossoms. Sensual highness, carnal flower, the jasmine is magnified by the merry fire of the spices and the delicacy of the rose.
Spices, pink berries and elemi, light at first a sweet and sensual fire. In their luminous wake, rose and jasmine embedded in a purple and silky heart, celebrate femininity. Deep and dark, woods and balsams amplify the wake, giving it a chypre roundness.” – a note from the brand.

This has a pleasant, musky, patchouli-rose in the opening that reminds me slightly of Vengeance Extreme. It’s not exactly groundbreaking, but quite lovely nonetheless. My favorite is the drydown where it becomes less musky/floral, and leans more earthy, woody, and resinous. Safe blind buy in my book as it’s inoffensive and quite pretty.
UPDATE: After wearing this again, and without it having to compete with my sniffing other perfumes, I’m now reminded of a Montale rose/musk accord in the opening. The plum in here reminds me of Si by Giorgio Armani, but not as sweet. Again, this is well-trodden territory and I keep sniffing and waiting for something new to happen, like waiting for the clown to pop out of a Jack-In-the-Box, but it never does. I still find this an agreeable fragrance not without its charms. It will work well for those days when I can’t make up my mind.

Plum cedar.
This is sweet plummy cedar blend with Turkish sweet roses. It has elemi, benzoin, patchouli, amber, and above them all is plum, cedar, and sweet turkish roses.
It wasn’t interesting at the beginning but the calm down is with that fruitti blend.
