    Notes: bergamot, tangerine, petit grain and jasmine; tobacco and leather; vetiver and oakmoss. The tobacco and leather notes are the first to be noticed, later the fragrance gets warmer and...

    I had much the same response as many of the reviewers: the first time I smelled this, I was horrified. I wasn't expecting the smoke, and it was SO strong, so opinionated. I put the sample away,...

    An interesting mix of jasmine and tea. The smokiness makes it too masculine for me, and the sage makes it too herbal for me, and the jasmine isn't pronounced enough to fight back against the desert...

    On Aedes' site part of the description of this scent states that "Its name is that of a place that is suspended between the green of a Middle-Eastern garden, Allah's garden and the silence of the...

    Not bad, but not particularly original. Roger and Gallet's Bouquet Imperiale for example is possibly a better rendition of the same fragrance, available in a variety of applications from Eau de...

    Tea in the Garden of Allah? No, no, not quite. More like burning cigarette butts in the vestibule of the OTB. Dreadful.

    I had a sample of this ages ago, and since losing it I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. It's a gorgeous scent, makes me think of the desert on a cold night. For whatever reason, it's a...

    I smell like a burning building in this. Luckily, though, Mr. Dave smells positively edible in it. Once again, I moved this to his side of the cabinet.

    A smokey jasmine-- very interesting. I could see this being someone's signature scent. It is quite unusual. The jasmine is fresh and not of the gaggity kind. I would wear this on occasion, but...

    Such an interesting scent - a burst of lemon mingled with, yes, as mentioned before, sage. I also get a hint of sandlewood. BUT WHERE'S MY JASMINE??? I can't detect it. I fear it's there, just...

    Like a bunch of burning moss. I feel like I'm getting acupuncture. Not bad but not something I'd want to smell like the entire day. It smells like herbs, maybe sage, oregano??? about to drop into a...

    To my nose, this is a very unpleasant fragrance! Sharp lemon + smoke... awful. I tried it many times as I wanted to give it a chance, but it really isn't my cup of tea.

    This one starting off in an interesting fashion. Along with notes of tea, I swore I could pick up dusty notes of sage as well. It was very refreshing without being too "clean" smelling. ...

    Palais Jamais is not a sexy fragrance; it's a stay-at-home-and-focus fragrance, a get-lost-in-old-books fragrance. I smell bergamot, a very strong cup of tea - the Earl Grey comparison by a...

    This is a strange and addicting fragrance. Mossy and green where you spray it, possibly off-putting at first, then the truly beautiful and uplifting notes of bergamot (?) tea (?) citrus (?) start...

    This is pure Lapsang souchong to my nose. I really can't smell anything else, as much as I try. The bottle and the rich green color are so gorgeous -- I wanted to like it better! My dad said it...

    I agree! After a promising spicy opening accord, the composition dries down to the smell of a disastrous forest fire. I appreciate the originality of this scent, bu wouldn't want to smell like this...

    No bergamot, no tea, no citrus. What I did smell was a weird concoction of freshly ironed shirts (bit of starch) and newly folded sheets. Not a laundry smell by a mile, just clean, pressed dress...

    Well, the bottle is pretty. The bergamot is prominent in this one. I can go either way with that, but this also is heavily layered with vetiver in a way that spoils the jasmine notes for me. The...
