  It’s a shame this house and its fragrance don’t have more fame because it’s spectacular. In short: an elegant, sexy, and very feminine woody oriental. The sillage is moderate—you notice it, but not from two meters away—and longevity on my skin is satisfying, about 5 hours of intense projection and maybe another 2 hours close to the skin. I have the 15ml version and would definitely buy it in a larger size; I don’t want to ever run out. For those who want to read more: you’ll know it’s inspired by the dancer and spy Mata Hari, known for her beauty and for being adored by men of her time. She was said to be sensual, elegant, and radiating confidence and presence. I’ve always loved her story, so when I decided to try it, it was more for the inspiration than the notes, though the notes seemed interesting too. When I tested it in the store, my first thought was ‘wow, she smells like her,’ and then I laughed because obviously I didn’t know who she was haha, but for me, it conveyed everything I imagined: elegant sensuality, exotic, oriental, and with a vintage touch. I detect it as spicy, slightly powdery, and woody. Regarding the notes, I don’t sense lychee, clove, or caraway. It says the opening has orange and bergamot, but I detect no citrus; it must be so well-blended that it’s unnoticeable. The notes I do sense are the rose, very oriental and dark; the spicy cinnamon, well-integrated and not annoying; and the powdery iris and violet—not the powdery, difficult-to-wear kind like Chanel No. 5, but a vintage powder that evokes an old era, carried by a young woman like the dancer Mata Hari. All of this is reinforced by the wood and sandalwood. When I put this on, my self-esteem goes up to 100, and I feel secure, sexy, and elegant—not royal elegance, but that of an exotic woman dedicated to dance, which is why I think it’s well-inspired. I consider it for nights and going out, not much for summer because it’s very oriental and woody, maybe on a cool summer night. Longevity is about 5 hours with good projection, then it drops to personal intensity and lasts another 2 hours close to the skin. I bought the 15ml, which will last quite a while for going out, but I’m going to get the large refill because it’s one of those perfumes where you say ‘I want to always have it in my collection.’ I don’t recommend blind buying because it’s not for everyone and isn’t easy to wear.

  It’s a shame this house and its fragrance don’t have more fame because it’s a beast. In short: woody oriental, elegant, sexy, and super feminine. The sillage is moderate—you notice it, but not from two meters away—and longevity on my skin is satisfying, about 5 hours with good projection and maybe another 2 hours close to the skin. I have the 15ml version and would definitely buy it in a larger size; I don’t want to ever run out. For those who want to read more: if you’ve seen the description or informed yourself, you’ll know it’s inspired by the dancer and spy Mata Hari, a beauty who was adored by men of her time. She was said to be sensual and elegant, one of those women who radiates confidence and commands presence.

I detect the powdery iris and violet, but it’s not that powdery, difficult-to-wear kind like Chanel No. 5; it’s a vintage powder that makes you think of an old era, but one that a woman full of youth like the dancer Mata Hari would wear.

  I bought this thinking it would be feminine, but the woody and spicy notes are too heavy, and I don’t detect any citrus in the opening. The drydown sounds clearly masculine. The longevity and sillage are average, nothing special. I’m disappointed and don’t understand why it’s marketed as a women’s fragrance.
