This is a real letdown for me, perhaps because I’ve been building it up for so long in my head. I try to resist expensive blind buys, well I’m really glad I did with this one. I was expecting an amber woody perfume, and what I’m getting is a floral musky mess with no woods or amber. Will retest but not much hope for this one.

Cedar heaven. Mega-aromatic, dry, but rich woodiness, on a sweet side.
I particularly enjoy, how patch adds its juicy-herbal tonalities without overshadowing fragrance and not taking over. You do smell vanilla-fruity intake as well, but still fragrance remains foremost casmeran-like, – musky-ambery-woody. You realize it is madly synthetic, but still loving its abstract, introvert qualities.

Bit of a Jekyll and Hyde, this one, although both facets of its split personality can be pleasing and both are definitely high-quality and individual. It’s a deeply fragrant wood, whichever way you cut it.
Sprayed lightly and it’s a gentle vanilla-and-tonka-infused light wood, very feminine, almost airy, sweet and smooth, with a few coniferous resiny notes floating along the top.
Sprayed more heavily (or repeatedly) it gets much much harder and darker, with the wood seeming to morph into mahogany and ebony, growing ever more spicy, the oud ever more poky, the intensity even doubling layer on layer to grow more pungent and almost punchy.
Against my instincts I prefer the first aspect to the second. Whichever route it takes, this doesn’t develop dramatically … both do grow sweeter and milder with time. Total longevity about 8h so a strong performer. In either guise the sillage is moderate.

Reminds me (too much) of Allure.: too “hard” and no comfort for my taste. So back in its box in the closet and I’ll try it again next spring. No other one to blame than me. Another blind buy…

This is such a lovely take on the wood! Regardless of the fact that is it no doubt a predominantly woody fragrance, the fume still manages to remain airy and light.
I am surprised not to find any orange flower in the composition, because I detect something that resembles a good orange flower. It must be the way cedar/patchouli combo marries with the fruity flower accord that produces this wonderful scent.
I adore this, it has just the right amount (and kind) of a fruit – flower combination to compliment the warm and rich sandalwood and cedar. Bliss..

This is so delicately French in that it is seductive, personal and in a sense timeless – a classic. If Coco Chanel had sniffed this she might have been tempted though in no way is this the same kind of scent. Would this epitomize the modern flapper of today… Possibly, though they might seek a mildly stronger sillage. If you are familiar with the strength of Solidsor Concretes, then this kind of a par with that useage and appeal. This not an intense perfume but the finesse of the balance is superb. If you are looking for pungent smells that scream I have arrived or left the room, you best look elsewhere. However if it is something close to skin, sexy and refined then this amongst others in the range are well worth a try.
