Back to vintage era…
Chypre honey turns to chypre with doses of carnations and cloves. I sense aldehyde, carnations, civet, honey, oakmoss, peaches, narcissus, and the rest of the vintage crew.
It’s an amazing creation for a commercial brand as i sense the balance in this creation beside the quality.

My mum gave n=me a miniature of this back in the 80’s.
I loved it, one of my favourite perfumes I have ever had. One of those perfumes that you cant stop smelling – gorgeous and evocative.
I have recently obtained some miniatures but the smell isnt the same so I think the perfume must have gone off.
Over the past few years I have hunted for this perfume in France and Italy and not been able to find any – I have seen it for sale in USA but resist buying it because you dont know how old it is and how it has been stored.
I’m afraid unless they relaunch it – it will have to be a lovely memory

I have a little mini of this one, but I wish I had a big bottle. It is a strange and lovely perfume. It smells like a dusty attic, hot cinnamon twists from Taco Bell, underarms (probably from the civet), and just a tiny bit of curry powder and cooking spices. If this fragrance was a fabric it would be rust-brown velvet.
Septieme Sens (7e Sens) is one of those fragrances where you can’t stop sniffing yourself because you catch something different every time. It’s so complex–I love it. I can see how it could be a polarizing fragrance though; it has a distinctive aroma and I don’t think it would suit most people. It’s introspective, artistic, and would be borderline offensive to people who have cleanliness worshipping sensibilities.
Idea: If you can’t find a big bottle for a reasonable cost, buy a few minis and a small ornate perfume bottle from etsy or ebay, then pour the Septieme Sens minis into the decorative perfume bottle. There you go!

I love it when vintage is like this. At first the scent is, if I’m talking colour-wise, inky, somewhere between dark-blue and violet, it is a plum’s shadow… or not. It’s plums filled with aldehydes. These are not for eating, but for looking at them and admiring this look. The aldehyded plums lie out there and emit a powerful and a bit sinister, and overall wonderful smell. I like to work when the scent is in this phase, the working goes on well, seriously and clearly. But the scent changes… here come some carnations and a touch of narcissus, and, oh, what beauty is in the scent’s аnimalism, coriander, moss, and that growing heavy with moisture and growing light again, gusty wind, and the sun, so warm, so nice!.. I love it. It’s especially good if the work’s over and done with, and I can go outside. There’s a pussy willow about to bloom, and the earth is getting warmer, and the asphalt nearby is crumbling thanks to age… or maybe it’s about to crack because of some plant that is under it and wants to see the world. And the scent has something living and breathing in it, from them – the earth, the asphalt, the tree and that other plant that has no name yet, but is about to grow. What is it? No idea, but I just love it.

The best fragrance ever. Am at the very last bit of my very last bottle that I’ve been saving for years. It never turned, and it’s just as wonderful as the first day I wore it. Wish it would come back.

Well here it goes , life is short so wear the good stuff! I had purchased a lot of miniature perfumes about a year ago and this was one of them. I finally got around to trying it today and I have to agree with Puppynose and Gayle on this perfume. The most prominent top note on opening at least to my nose was carnation…very interesting and here I am thinking wow another heady carnation to add to my wearable
collection….WRONG! Unfortunately in less than 5 minutes it dissipated leaving a strange main note, a cross between citric and herbal, it smelled like desiccated bay leaves and oregano that sat too long on a shelf not coriander! No amber, narcissus, fruit or warm honey delights that I can detect in this concoction it also has poor silage,which in my case was a good thing! Two hours later all I can detect is a sour citrus with just a hint of musk….maybe some find this scent to be delightful on their skin but in my case, I WILL PASS!

This is and always will be my favorite all time perfume. I don’t know why they discontinued it. It’s the only perfume I’ve ever worn in which I get stopped by men and women asking what I’m wearing. A little goes a long way but it’s sensual, not fruity, woodsy, not sweet. It’s hard to explain. I’ve tried other perfumes recommended to me based upon this one and none hold a candle to this one. They need to bring this formula back!

This Septieme 7 sens for me above all perfumes transcends all my collection of favourites, I have;
Balmain ivorie/jolie madam/vol-vent
chanel-coco mademoiselle/ chanelno5 Crystal
Givenchy -organza /le de madam/ eau de givenchy
armani-diamonds
I was in a position a few years ago to buy this at an exorbitant cost,and sadly cannot afford that price anymore. I do wish it was brought back.
regards

I can’t make up my mind- it intrigues me yet some note I don’t fell “fits”- possibly the bergamot? It has a piquant semi-citric quality. Almost- and this sounds bad, but almost like the “top note” in a sharp Italian cheese! But I just keep sniffing and sniffing my arm, checking on the development, expecting this to have at least decent longevity- but it fades before I can figure it out.
It is rare to find civet and castoreum both in the base, and these with narcissus and honey lead me to expect a deep narcotic nectar of a scent- but it’s not that deep or nectarliscious,only a bit scankiliscious- oh, the note I think was bergamot does fade rather quickly leaving just an echo of a whisper. I just don’t smell individual flowers, all has blended into warm and rather unusual concoction, with moderate animalic character.and a hint of sweetness from the gentle round heart note fruits and honey. I went crazy and bought a bunch of miniatures when I was able to get my hands on them – more than I should have, but I got carried away. I have a couple still boxed available for swap, p.m is welcome.
Whoa- follow up. A bit more time has passed and now I’m noticing on some parts of my arm- not the thinnest inner skin, but veering out from that on the side to back of my arm- the odd piquant almost citric note seems to have returned and is more prominent than the warm notes. Odd little scent- no office scent she!
Ok- one more sniff- it’s just plain odd. I’m ambivalent about this one. It is – weird. I wonder if it has begun to change due to age? It’s not the typical smell of an old fume deteriorating, but I suspect it’s not a typical fume. I don’t have a basis to compare. It may have always smelled odd and then grew older in an “odd” and perplexing manner. Enough on this, I’m finally weary of sniffing and puzzling.
One day later- In all fairness to this fragrance- I think I get a bit of that “weird” piquant little cheezie thing when I smell a certain kind of spicy accord – not a sweet one- mixed with a citric note. I’ve been wearing Ajee for a about an hour and I’m noticing almost the same thing now when I sniff my arm – I think it’s at least as much my perception as it is skin chemistry. For me, spice and citrus often don’t play as well together as they do apart.
