    First I must admit I love anise/licorice/pastis to drink and to eat. So the initial burst of licorice was enjoyable and then I smelled - chocolate? There is nothing in the other reviews that...

    An unusual, paradoxical scent, full of mystery and profound bitterness tempered by the almost candy-like sweetness of marigold and vanilla. If ever a fragrance was manic-depressive, this one fits...

    I think this fragrance is unique, in a league of its' own. I don't think it's similar to Casmir or Alchimie, but that's just my opinion. It smells like a bit of licorice in the top notes, but...

    This fragrance is sexy, subtle, complex, and wonderful. It smells powdery and slightly sharp at the same time, then sweet, then a contrast, and it evolves on my skin the way few other perfumes do....

    Oh my. In the words of our lovely victoriaf: "perfect fragrance combining mystery, allure and elegance". I was hesitant to try it since I'm seldom attracted to the herbal quality of absinthe....

    Of the 16 or so SL scents I have sampled, this was in my top five favorites. However, on me this smelled *exactly* like Rochas Alchemie, which I wore for quite a while when it was first introduced...

    A little cousin to Chopard's Casmir. Very similar in the first couple of hours, then mellows to a lighter, sweeter, unobtrusive scent. Not a lot of originality here, especially since I loved Casmir...

    I tried a sample of this and loved it. The notes are below, so I won't post them here. I noticed the scent of woods and possibly cinnamon first (delicious by the way) and then I gradually noticed...

    I'm on the fence about this unusual fragrance. On me, it ended up smelling strongly of absinthe, with a little lemon thrown in...like a parisian cocktail from the 1940s! That allure aside, I...

    This is one of the most unusual fragrances I have smelled so far. I am a big fan of "scent experiences" rather than always wearing elegant french perfume. This smells like the name suggests:...

    Based on all the reviews I expected this to be quite strong but did not find it to be so. It almost melds to my body chemistry as it dries down. It starts out with an initial blast of absinthe,...

    DA was truly vile on me...opened very strong, flood the room & knock 'em over POW, then dried down to an unpleasant musty scent with a strong overtone of eau de mothballs...washing it off did not...

    Oh, YES. I just think I found my newest fragrance to go next to my beloved Angel. Serge's Douce Amere carries the same mystery, intrigue and sexiness of Angel, but it is completely different. I...

    Ahhh yum. I knew from the other reviews I would like this. I love Oriental scents. I hated it at first sniff, but the scent dries down to a very soft, warm and deep almost milky scent. I didn't...
