I have been hoarding my little spray sample of this for ages, luckily one spritz is all I need to get me dreaming ….. and this is from someone who abhors conventional White Floral perfumes! Perhaps this is the ultimate Narcotic Floral for non-floral Perfumistas like me. It is so masterfully blended that it becomes more than the sum of its notes, which is something I am always after, and very hard to find. Vero Kern is a true Alchemist!
PS Let me know if you have any available, thanks!

with this perfume I’ll try a little comparative essay in which I lay the Rubj ‘voile d’extrait’ next to some ‘competiters’/sisters. to start with I bought (let us say from 2004? on) respectively the eau de parfum, a 14ml. extrait and now, the voile d’extrait. then I also would like to compare it with some other white flower-bombs. spritzing the vde now what first strikes me in the beginning is also the familiar blast of white flowers (tuberose if listed or not), jasmine and the strongest neroli I have ever smelled whereas in other (non Vero.Profumo) perfumes this note always quickly receded to my nose. what first comes to mind in this ‘all in your face’ quality is Giorgio Beverly Hills. in 1981 this perfume (along with in 1984 Poison) has put “perfume” as phenomenon firmly on the map for me. I love strong perfumes. so strong that they’re a bit “wrong”. but with Giorgio (and Poison) it was “all at once” to never stop anymore the dense, thick, antisocial wall of olphactory code 4 (lovely) while with Rubj it neither doesn’t stop yet in its obviously development gives some leeway. then a sweetness occurs within the heady indolic and also cumin laced opening. I guess it is the sweeter side of jasmine. the cumin is also quite obvious while it isn’t the fuck-me cumin as in the eau de parfum or, yes, the perfume, but a more “body odor” quasi-demure cumin as Vero often references to sweat when emphasizing the sex in Rubj. here it is perhaps a good moment to compare to Rubj edp and the perfume. what strange fate I had with that coveted 14 ml. flacon. sitting on the floor in my hallway I wanted to pour some perfume in a little spritzer and that would have gone alright if I didn’t….had to use quite some force to loosen the beautiful stopper from the beautiful flacon. so much force that it plopped open and there went the first half of the content of the perfume. quickly I tried to dab up the perfume (on linoleum) on my wrist and in my sleeve. well what I could detect from this $ 140 spill was an enormous blast of cagefighting white flowers, fabulously filling the hall and my nose. the perfume had it all: the cumin, neroli, tuberose, oakmoss [whereas not listed], musk. the cumin obviously was used either in copious amounts or layered such that it suffused all the phases during all the evolvement of Rubj. (the other half of the perfume went along to the US and there it had slowly trickled empty in a beautiful 220 volts red wallet to perfume it forever but the flacon was empty so there went the (what I now see at Lucky Scent is the price: $ 255) in what accompanied me in an enduring cloche of neroli-jasmine-cumin. then the edp is also bolder as the vdp with the listed notes: Bergamot, mandarin, neroli, passion fruit, cumin, orange flower absolute, tuberose, basil, cedar, oak moss, musk. I would now say the vde is the softest rendition and in this, also a beautiful and Rubj my favorite perfume of the Vero.Profumo perfumes.then now it is time to haul in some heavy hitters on the indolic white flowers and I must say the first perfume coming to my mind is Versace “Eros pour femme”. it has the same ‘blast all in your face’ quality plus the extraordinary sillage. but in the Versace there is another white flower at play which is as demanding as the leading diva here: lemonblossom. and it is really a pungent, sour-indolic flower which allows a jasmine and neroli to come through as her majesty sees fit. yet then this perfume is still more comparable with Rubj as the other Versace masterpiece “Blonde” with its strong rendition of Tuberose. Both Versace Eros and Rubj have the same grand entrance-quality, the diva the drama. then we have also Houbigants “Orangers en Fleurs” where we meet an also very accessible orangeflower and here the harshness of Rubj, Versace and Giorgio is swapped for a refined rendition of the totality of the orangetree experience with “eau de brouts-absolute” [David Seth Moltz from DS & Durga: “Petitgrain [peel rind] water absolute or eau de brouts is the equivalent of orange flower water absolute and is obtained as a by-product from petitgrain bigarade oil. It enhances the ‘naturalness’ of several other fragrances, e.g. jasmine, neroli, ylang-ylang and gardenia.”] it makes it all, the Houbigant that is, softer to the tone. the last white flowered perfume I’d love to compare with Rubj is Dusita’s “Mélodie d’Amour” with its listed ingredients [Lucky Scent]: Gardenia, tuberose, honey, peach, broom, lily of the valley, jasmine, cedar, musk. here we also are approached by a grande diva of white flower Alexis-Chrystal fights which produces an also very beauteous parfum at once carnal (gardenia and tuberose) as indolic sweet (jasmine, broom absolute) but I am tempted to say that in Dusitas Mélodie d’Amour these traits exist simultaneously and there is just a lot we can consider a “communality” (the use of honey and the fruit peach for Vero’s passionfruit) and a lot of differences making perfumery the alchymy that it is. that would be my petite comparative analysis. concluding with the exceptionality of all Vero Kerns perfumes and especially a pièd-à-stalle for our venerated Rubj.

From the first time i sniffed it, i didn’t like it at all as i thought that it is sweat because of that cumin overdose note, but the more i use it, the more i apply, & the more i give it time to settle the more i get attached to it specifically the d’extrait one with that silent jasmine covered by the sweetness of the orange blossoms on a bed of cumin.
It is not a love at first sniff, you just need to apply more till you reach to the point that u feel happy when you see that bottle lies over there waiting to be used.
