Dear Mr Ozbek.. if you are reading it- perhaps.. no .. thank you for this amazing fragrance!
It’s stunning!
I think every woman who feels 100% woman should buy it!
Even if it was created in 1995 it’s so…fresh and beautiful…it’s magnificent!
Here is the thing I am 100% I know it from Sacks…I have a problem to navigate- what perfume smells like this…
I am sure someone have copied or just got formula from Ozbek.
Sisley? Aerin… I can’t visualize now.. but I am 100% sure right now someone is selling same formula in different bottle.
150% more than what I have paid.
It’s so interesting.. I was thinking about purchase it… I just can’t remind.. what perfume it is. I am sure I know it its 100% same formula.. to what I have had before in my hands… unless … someone sent me fake scent- instead… real one…someone just put modern scent to my oil…I am sure I know it….I would be sad if that would happen.
But the thing is mine.. is oily… I doubt It’s…like this in Sacks.

Went to an antique/yard sale type store in my hometown today just out exploring. Saw this edp 2.5 ounce for 5 dollars. Bought it because the bottle looked mystical to me and I was going to dump the perfume and use the bottle for holy water. I had never heard the name or brand before. Then I smelled it. Wow. Then I went online and saw the reviews and prices on eBay. It smells like garden of flowers in a far away land.
Like a scent that would be pumped out at a sales presentation promoting a stepford wife lifestyle in Disney perfect neighborhood. Not saying that in a negative way. You feel pretty, attractive, clean and blessed to be in your shoes. Best deal I ever stumbled on.

Absolutely stunning fragrance, sweet and oriental with heady floral notes. Gorgeous minaret bottle. I like to dab some on the back of my neck just at the hairline. The perfume lingers on the hair beautifully and over 8 hours later I can still catch whiffs of it’s delightful scent, reminds me of a head shop I visited when I was a teenager in the 1990s.

to siplantis. najgirl had no idea that bottle represents a muslim mosque but merely a glass vessel to hold the fragrance in. she shows no disrespect. you people get so overprotective over nothing.
zolik – :
Thank you Kaside66.
Dear Najgirl, this beautiful bottle represents our beautiful historical Mosques in İstanbul. We call them Minaret where the caller (He calls muslims to mosque for daily praying) invites muslims salaat. It is beyond beautiful, so Blessed… Respect a little respect to Islam.
We never comment about the Jewish or Christian chapels!

Very nice perfume, sweet floral, with subtle fruit notes and honey. I never would have thought to pick it up based on the odd looking bottle- I won’t go so far as to say ugly, but it’s definitely strange. The perfume is very nice though. It reminds me of a favorite fragrance I have from Volnay.

i´ve been sorting my bottles and have discovered that i have this fragrance both in EDT and Extrait. I have never ever trid this before, i only know the designer but never managed to try ny of his creations. The review is for wrist test from a brand new EDT spray bottle, freshly unsealed and talen out of it´s box by me.
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! Such a hideous bottle, poorly done by the way, contains SUCH a gorgeous jasmine-hyacint-honey bomb!!! At first i was sceptical and thought it was no good at all, but thenn “WHAM!” it started to bloom and develop. I have to be honest, i have yet rarely seen such a beautiful combo of jasmine and hyacint, it smells sooooo natural, so intoxicating, im head over heels! It´s like im smelling of a linden honey, no kidding. So fluid, delicate, yet very potent. I want to dress in white and wear this fragrance.
The sillage is quite heavy and lasting power is great! No retro at all, very much nowdays and of a niche monoscent quality!
Would love to try EDP as well
UPDATE: I have tried the extrait as well on my other wrist, The difference is significant. The extrait is all about honeyed freesia and peach at first, very thick and heady. I wasn´t even enjoying it in the opening notes, but then the jasmine saved it all. It is still more syropy than the EDT and very sweet (the way the honey is sweet and melting in your mouth). I do not think i will wear Extrait often if ever will, but the EDT is fabulous!!!

I acquired a vintage of this in a lot by chance, where I was initially just drawn in for an entirely different scent (Teatro Alla Scala by Krizia) and this one was present. It is sweet, for sure; I personally didn’t pick up too much spiciness on my skin, but it’s not a cloying sweetness or a patronizing sweetness. It is well-rounded and I would say it’s like a lovely bowl of fruits and crushed flowers, in the sunlight, drizzled over with a delicious earthy fresh honey, and you kind of roll around in it 🙂 I swear I’m almost detecting pineapple, but I believe that’s impossible; it’s like the bowl was serving pineapple, it was all eaten, then without being rinsed, was filled back up with the other ingredients. If you want a something rich and sweet but slightly exotic and distinctive, with some individuality, this is a good choice. Love those 80’s designers <3

I found this gem absolutely by chance on a Italian web site, sold for a song. I’m attracted by the singular bottle, resembling a minaret. I checked on Fragrantica and I’m very thrilled to get my hand on this rare fragrance. So I bought it. Weird fragrance, floral, sweet, honeyed at the same moment, terrible longevity. It seems to me to walk in a garden full of flowers. I think that there aren’t fragrances similar to that, only Van Cleefe Van Cleefe is a bit similar, even if the notes are completely different. Proud owner of it, not for everybody. You have to appreciate flowers to like this unusual scent. But if you try it, you will experience a singular scent, and a bunch of flowers will surround you sweetly.

This is a great floral perfume and only when you try it you will know what it is. The projection is very good and the jasmine speak itself and I personally appreciate the scent in there.

A Golden Jasmine.
Fruity, warm, “humid” and solar pure oriental jasmine.
You could easily feel like an Indian naked princess, covered only by jewels, with it on.
It was on sale with discount. I remember in the nineties was very unusual, borderline, now is very contemporary. With an extraordinary “in honey” longevity.

I discovered Ozbek years ago at Harvey Nichs in London and a year later, it was being sold at Barneys in NYC. It soon became my favorite fragrance and whenever, I wore it, I was sure to receive a compliment. Wearing this fragrance made me fee special. Then Ozbek was remade and the smell was entirely different and as a consequence, it was pulled off the market and subsequently discontinued. So disappointing. I have a few other favorite fragrances now, but no other fragrance has come close to this light, warm, clean and unique smell.

I’ve finally found it! This perfume is almost impossible to find now. A decade ago it was voted the sexiest fragrance ever and wow… It was rare then and it’s even more rare now. I can’t believe it when I found one today, not online, not at someone’s backyard… Of all places, in my own hometown!. Spicy, warm and unusual.
