When I first put it on, I was simply disgusted. However, in less than 5 minutes this changed into a wonderful spicy cedar smell that I couldn't get enough. In half an hour, the cedar was almost...

What an odd little bird Palisander is. I am not sure that I would have even known it was a "wood fragrance" had I not read up on it before purchasing and even now, I am still perplexed by...

I tested and tested this at Lucky Scent and finally scored a decant of it here on MUA that was a decent enough size to try many times. When I first tried Palisander I thought it was at first,...

I have no luck at all w/CdG. They all smell chemically and yuck. This was all panty liner scent and public bathrooms on me. Cloying and stinky. No incense.

On my skin, this is a lovely, slightly sweet rosewood scent touched with spice. It's also a bit musky on me, which I absolutely adore. It's a bit strong at first, but it also fades rather quickly....

Mysterious and a little haunting, this smells to me like an import store (Pier 1, back when it was funkier), or like a wooden box where you might keep items for a holy ritual. As time goes by,...

MMMMMMM....heaven! THIS is what I love about perfumes --- when they are cozy & comforting, like wrapping myself in my favorite cashmere shawl. Woods and spices, but all components are warm and...

This is a perfect Fall fragrance. Spicy and woody and very long lasting. Very unique too -- I get a lot of compliments when I wear this. The best of the CdG line.

Palisander is an tropical wood but this is more of an exotic gourmand fragrance - a sweet but celery-crisp blend of Anis de Flavigny and Big Red gum. As entirely artificial as the red and white...

Palisander is a surprisingly soft & "round", sweetish, spicy woody scent with such notes as palisander, cedar, Japanese chili pepper, saffron and myrrh. /// Update: I liked this one initially but...
