  Incredible fragrance, I tried it today at a store on my island and it’s spectacular. The earth notes are realistic, reminding me of when my mother was watering plants and that wet potting soil smell would come out. It also smells like peeling a beet and catching that tuber scent. It’s very good, a rare scent few will wear. Trail is medium-high and longevity is medium. It’s versatile for any season. Given its rarity, it’s worth having, and I think I’ll keep it.

  I tried it today at a store on the southern side of my island, and it’s brutal. The earthy notes are super realistic; they transport me back to when my mother was watering plants—that wet soil smell from the pot, or when you peel a beet and that earthy aroma comes out of the tuber. It smells very natural and is something you don’t see on many people. The trail is medium-high and longevity is medium. It’s super versatile for any season. Given its rarity, it’s worth having, and I think I’ll keep it.

  There’s not much to say that hasn’t been said before: it’s a linear fragrance from start to finish that smells like a freshly dug beet or turnip, end of story. Although it’s not a common scent, I don’t feel it’s very exclusive or distinctive; it smells very natural but doesn’t draw enough attention for people to ask what you’re wearing. On me, it has a medium-to-weak trail from start to finish and lasts 6 hours. The price ranges from $150 to $250 USD; I got mine for $50, so I wonder if it’s really worth the asking price. I don’t think so; in my opinion, it should cost no more than $20 or $30. To avoid dragging this out further, I invite you to discuss it in the new thread I opened on the forum: THE REAL PRICE OR… HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH TO YOU?

  Not much more to add; it’s linear from start to finish. It smells like freshly dug beets. It’s not a common scent, but it doesn’t feel exclusive or distinctive. It doesn’t draw attention enough for people to ask what you’re wearing. The trail is medium and weak, lasting about 6 hours. I’d sell it between $150 and $250; I got it for $50. Is it worth it? I think it should cost no more than $20 or $30. Better to debate the real price on the forum.

  I only tested it in duty-free and the trail is weak. It smells like leaves turned into perfume, nothing to really make your head spin. If I’m looking for something earthy but with character, I’ll stick with Encre Noir by Lalique, which is light years ahead.

  Just got it and couldn’t wait to try it. It’s a humid day and the scent feels a bit off, but in a conceptual way. After an hour, it smells less like earth and more like damp wall mold, mixed with creamy, velvety florals and a soapy, clean halo I can’t quite place. I furrow my brow trying to understand it, but I can’t stop sniffing my arm—it’s addictive. The next day, wearing the same clothes, that clean halo is still there. Dry down is very musky, with that softened wet touch and an interesting floral powder. To my taste, it’s exquisite.

  I just received the bottle and couldn’t wait to try it. Take everything I say here with a grain of salt, as it can vary with use or time. Plus, it’s a rainy day, one of those where everything smells more intense or strange due to the humidity. Peau d’Ailleurs hits me as one of the rarest perfumes I’ve ever smelled. Rare on a conceptual level: it creates a strange impression but still feels ‘perfumed.’ After wearing it for almost an hour, it smells more like damp wall mold (like the one in my grandmother’s hallway) with creamy, velvety sweet flowers, and a soapy, clean halo that I don’t know where it comes from, lol. I smell it again and frown trying to understand it, but curiously, I can’t stop returning to my arm; it’s addictive… NEXT DAY – I wore the jacket I had on yesterday with this perfume, and what a lovely halo it left when I moved it! The dry down (also on skin) feels quite musky, with that softened touch of humidity and a floral powder, a very interesting and, in my opinion, beautiful scent.

  PEAU D´AILLEURS by Starck is a rare and creative gem, as Annick Menardo has always made us expect. It doesn’t resemble Comme des Garçons 2, which is more complex, but it does remind me of Concrete from the same Japanese brand: there’s that urban cement and stone sensation, but here it’s sweeter and less aggressive. No one remains indifferent when they smell it; it’s high-quality niche perfumery. Projection and longevity are excellent, creativity and good taste perfected. I got the 90 ml for 57 euros with a gift included—an incredible deal. I recommend trying it; it’s a pleasant challenge. It doesn’t smell like a garden or dirt; it has more poetry. Everyone loved it in spring, and it performs amazingly well. It’s also nighttime wear, ideal for spring, autumn, and summer nights.

  PEAU D’AILLEURS by STARCK is a rare, extremely rare, and very creative fragrance (just like Madame Annick Menardo has accustomed us to with her resume). For me, it doesn’t resemble COMME DES GARÇONS 2 at all, as the latter has a much broader and richer olfactive pyramid with nuances, but it does remind me, in a way, of CONCRETE from the same Japanese house in Paris, since the sensation of cement, stone, and urban elements is there. Only here it’s sweeter and less aggressive; in fact, the perfume isn’t unpleasant at all; on the contrary. It’s true that when people smell it, they’re surprised, as it’s creative perfumery that the masses aren’t used to, and its notes are excellent niche quality. It seems to me to be an excellent job by Madame Menardo, where projection and longevity are brutal, and creativity goes hand in hand with good taste in Savoir Faire. I got the 90 ml bottle for 57 euros and they gifted me the 40 ml, an unusual and surprising offer. I recommend getting to know it and trying it; it’s a very pleasant challenge, and I haven’t noticed any plant soil or garden air, but rather a certain vibe reminiscent of COMME DES GARÇONS CONCRETE without being similar. As I mentioned before, there’s more poetry here. P.S.: I must add that in spring, it’s been an excellent fragrance, pleasing a wide spectrum of people, ages, sexes, and races. I didn’t think it would perform so well in this season (April) as it is. Happy with the purchase; it’s very pleasant to wear. It’s also fine for nighttime. Ideal for springs, autumns, and summer nights.

  It reminds me a bit of Guerlain Homme L’eau Boisée, with that freshly cut grass green, but this is earthier, as if it just rained and now smells of wet soil with lots of musk. I wouldn’t buy it; it smells good but doesn’t make me say ‘I need this.’ It’s spring-like, daytime, with moderate sillage.

  It hasn’t worked for me; the opening overwhelmed me. I prefer Peau de Pierre, even if this lasts less.

  I couldn’t make it work with this fragrance; the opening was too suffocating for me. Peau de Pierre is much better for my taste, even though it doesn’t have such good performance.

  I definitely get the musty note, but it also smells like freshly laundered clothes—that freshness we crave in the heat. I haven’t detected the ozonic rain scent yet; it’s more dusty, woody, and musky. I can’t judge longevity just yet, but it projects stronger than Peau de Soie, which I adore.

  Yes, it smells damp, but not that unhygienic kind that drives us crazy here in Mexico. It’s the clean steam of a saturated space, like sitting on a wet stone in the shade, with moss and a nearby river. It doesn’t bother me, but it’s more for sniffing your hand occasionally than wearing it directly.
