Gorgeous.
But not for the faint of heart!
Spicy rose and amber. I get the nutmeg too.
I adore lemon and fire and am eagerly awaiting a sample of plum!
Really rate these scents. If only they hadn’t been so overpriced (rrp £95!) I think they would have been more successful/popular.

Beautiful spicy rose with hints of smoke and amber in the background. This is definitely unisex and one of my most complimented scents – for me personally it’s more or less the perfect oriental rose.
I find this very similar to Aramis Calligraphy Rose but that is a real powerhouse, can only be worn on select occasions and can suffocate those around you if you apply too much. This on the other hand is more subdued and therefore much more versatile. I would say they are at least 80% the same scent but Greenwell Fire isn’t as loud even though the longevity and sillage are very good.
I definitely prefer this to Aramis Calligraphy Rose as it has been blended perfectly and isn’t cloying like Calligraphy Rose can be. It also smells expensive and you will get noticed when wearing this. All in all a great substitute for Calligraphy Rose, especially when you’re looking for something more toned down which can be worn on a regular basis.

It’s funny really but I’m genuinely quite annoyed. I have all the Mary Greenwell perfumes as I got them for a good price and I love Lemon and Plum. So when my friend came in wearing this smelling amazing, exotic and like oud and roses I was pleasantly surprised and expectant as I hadn’t opened my bottle yet, I was hoarding it sealed.
Today I spent 5 hours on an application and felt like a treat.
Nope, I smell like the popular notes listed. Grapefruit, nutmeg and inscense. It’s nice but it’s nothing like the divine smell that wafts off my friend! Alas!

An amazing fragrance,no idea why Fragrantica list it as a female fragrance,when I have always been told (I work for a fragrance company) that all Mary Greenwell perfumes are unisex.
This me reminds me of smokey incense,dry & resinous woods.A fruity Gothic version of Aramis Devin.
As Tallulah Bankhead once said to a bishop swinging his smoking censure.”Darling,love the drag,but do you know your handbags on fire”
I also have the iconic Plum by Mary G. and there are hints or gorgeous Mirabelle Plum here too.
I have heard that this wonderful fragrance is soon to be discontinued.So if you see it on offer,or any other Mary G. perfumes,grab them while you can.

A nice fragrance but astonishingly weak considering the normally long lasting notes listed. Your definitely hit with a zap of grapefruit. bergamot and incense on the opening. The pepper, oud, nutmeg and patch become more evident with the alcohols dissipation. After 30 mins or so I become aware of the osmanthus and much less so the saffron. If you like spicey fragrance but not one that is heavy and too pungent then this could be a winner for you. The citrus and osmanthus keep it relatively airy and easy to wear anytime. The sillage and longevity are both moderate at the most.
