Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
At first, it smells like a classic from the old days, something that might not be trendy, but the quality of its ingredients saves it. It starts with a fresh explosion of lavender, bergamot, and geranium, which then gives way to a powdery floral heart. To my nose, the cardamom, ylang-ylang, and geranium stand out, all tied together by the creaminess of white flowers that soften the blend. The dry down is slightly sweet, featuring a very elegant amber-ladanum that, over time, seems to wrap around the skin with delicacy.

I bought it blind when it first arrived because it has almost all the notes from Patrick Süskind’s novel, adapted into the movie ‘Perfume’. I’ve read the book so many times I knew every minute of the film, and now I’m also enjoying the Netflix series inspired by it. The million-dollar question: do I like it? I don’t like it, I love it. Its scent is exactly what I imagined: captivating and enveloping, with great presence and a projection that screams femme fatale. My first impressions were a powerful bomb of lavender and geranium that turned powdery in seconds, revealing a bouquet of flowers and patchouli always wrapped in that accord. It smells refined and luxurious. I love it, especially since I wear it as it’s meant to be worn, so I’m updating my opinion.
I’ve never tried this fragrance, but it caught my attention because it features several notes from the fictional perfume ‘Love and Psyche’ from Patrick Süskind’s novel, adapted into the movie ‘Perfume’. I know Thierry Mugler released an exclusive limited box with 15 scents inspired by that book (rumored not all of them were pleasant), including an interpretation of ‘Love and Psyche’ that I would have loved to try. Anyway, based on its components, Enslaved could be an interesting, opulent, and baroque-inspired perfume; it would be fantastic to test it out.
