I found a dusty package of this discontinued scent at a perfume shop near me, and am so disappointed that they don't have more! It's a bright crisp floral chypre--an energizing optimistic scent....

Very, very strong. Prohibitively strong, actually. And nothing shows up on my skin, (I could bathe in yatagan for days, delightful thought that-- and maybe, just maybe someone would wonder if i...

Sexy as hell...I agree with the previous reviews: once smelled, there's no turning back! I know it's for men, but I have a bottle just for me...and when wearing sexy boots with jeans, I can't tell...

If there is a sneakily-seductive scent, this must be it. It just haunts me, there is a strange rubbery- chamomile (raspberry?) note that I can't get enough of. Completely original. A couple wearing...

Sadly, I think this perfume has been discontinued, because it's very hard to find right now. It's a oriental-vanilla perfume with a very distinct green and rubber note in the top, although those...

I thought I would love this based on the floriental description. But, I find it merely mediocre, and without any of the delicious spiciness that I look for in florientals. It is wholly pleasant,...
