One of the best Jasmine scents I have smelled on my skin. Just gorgeous!

Love it, sweet but not over the top, the coffee note is subtle, and I think I smell black licorice in there as well. It's just delightful - really nicely composed. Taking off one lippie because...

I've been working my way through my 15 samples and here's my initial take on Espionage. It is very reminiscent of Shalimar, imo. I really like Shalimar but it never really worked w/my chemistry. ...

OMG, this is fabulous! I just received my 15 piece sample set and, after sniffing them all, this was the one that I had to try on first. I agree w/everyone else re: the notes yet there's also...

Okay, this is off topic but I just have to say that I love this name. It cracks me up because I always think McLovin when I see it! Anyway, I just ordered a 15 piece sampler from ayala...

The tagline from Ayala's site sums it up: "Espionage is an innovative, daring yet subtle perfume. " It is an remarkably seductive scent without being blatant, you have to get up close to experience...

I agree with the reviews below, it's a very nice earthy, resinous scent, rich and layered. And, no, it doesn't last at all and yes, it's terribly expensive. The real ambergris probably accounts for...

Strangely, I can't wear Jicky, but I can wear this. I rather love this one, and while it lasts a bit better than the other Ayala scents I've sampled, I have to complain about the price and...

Ayala compares Fete D'Hiver to powdery, fluffy snow, and she's right. A perfume with rose and spice notes sounds like it must be heavy and dense, but this one isn't. It does indeed have a "fluffy"...

Razala on me was a very close cousin to Mandy Aftel's Tango. It has a similar earthy wild note. It actually smells a bit more like what I was *hoping* the Afteliers would smell like on me. It is a...

I became fascinated with vetiver a few years ago. Perfume houses were beginning to restrict oakmoss, replacing it with vetiver as a base in the new "pink chypres." But I didn't like the new...

InCarnation is a clove-centered rendition of this flower, which is a nice departure from the cool, peppery version most often constructed by perfumeurs. I have never found carnation to blend...

Move over, Jicky. I'm going to get into trouble for saying this, but I prefer this to Jicky. Admittedly, I am not comparing them side-by-side, nor am I claiming that they smell alike. I love...

Sutul is relentlessly cheeful. Don't wear this if you intend to wallow in your bad mood. Goths beware; avoid it entirely. Lemony grapefruit notes (almost apricot) blend joyfully with jasmine,...

Gigi is a big, breathy, creamy gardenia. I don't know about you, but I like my gardenias big. The opening show is enormous, unabashedly feminine, with the sweetest of jasmines and the smoothest...
