  Dream fragrance from this house’s collection. It smells unique, though it brings back memories of others. Its magic lies in the sheer number of notes, perhaps the highest of all my perfumes. It starts with a burst of fruits: blood orange, tangerine, pineapple, and raspberry. The famous aldehydes appear, not as protagonists but in the background. Then comes the big hit: flowers like rose, lily of the valley, and a touch of licorice that doesn’t bother. By the hour, it shifts to woods with Virginia cedar, musk, and amber, closing with a trail of vanilla. Very complex and classy. It lasts 10-11 hours perfectly. The sillage is powerful for the first two hours at two meters, then becomes more intimate.

  This perfumer usually creates fragrances with many nuances. The opening reminds me of familiar feminine accords, minus Rose Amazone; it makes me think of Hermès thanks to that mix of rose and berries, a dominant accord that lingers for a long time. The rose is jam-like because the raspberry is sweet and not acidic. At first, it shines with freshness thanks to the fruity notes, and the aldehydes add a slight bitterness well balanced with that freshness—something that suits me well, even though I usually avoid them like in No. 5. I can’t say much about the heart notes, maybe because I was outside and unfortunately, it lacks potency; I could barely smell it, and besides the rose, I didn’t notice much else, so the berry-rose-aldehyde combo stays there. Finally, it shifts, becoming greener due to the moss and patchouli, with balsamic and musky touches. It’s a rare twist for what it offered so far, but it’s not a disaster. I like the scent; the opening is rich, but as I said, although it lasts well, it lacks presence to wear out, for example at night.

  A nuanced fragrance, typical of this perfumer. The opening recalls familiar feminine accords, minus Rose Amazone; it evokes Hermès with the mix of rose and berries, a dominant accord that lingers. The rose is jam-like, with sweet raspberry and no acidity. At first, it shines with the freshness of the fruits, aided by aldehydes with a slight bitterness well balanced—something I usually avoid. In the middle phase, I can’t say much; maybe because I was outside and the perfume lacks potency, I could only smell it faintly. Besides the rose, the berry-rose-aldehyde combo holds. Finally, it shifts, becoming greener due to moss and patchouli, with balsamic and musky touches. A rare twist but not disastrous. I like the scent; the opening is rich, but it lacks presence to wear out, for example at night.

  Starts very fresh, almost citrusy and herbal, unusual… perhaps due to the sempervivum. It quickly turns woody and floral. Although it’s not strong or very aromatic as indicated here, it smells great and stays on my skin for a good while. It’s a good perfume, though without much projection. I just tried it today; maybe I need to give it more time to appreciate it properly. That said, zero sweetness, and I love that.

  Starts very fresh with a citrus and herbal touch that feels a bit unusual, maybe due to the sesame. It quickly turns woody and floral. It’s not as potent or super aromatic as the description claims, but it smells great and lasts a good while on my skin. It’s a good perfume, though the projection isn’t much. I just tried it today; maybe I need to give it more chances to appreciate it better. The best part: zero sweetness, and I love that.
