Powerful, cinnamon and musk. Quite a lot like Opium. Can't imagine wearing this everyday but for a very special purpose, perhaps.

Cool and lovely, like a fleeting visit from an angel. Jean-Claude Ellena again!

Gorgeous…. Refined, elegant, understated and a typical comfort scent, warm and cozy like the arms of a mother or your loved one.
I loved it at first spritz.

This fragrance starts off wonderfully--very spicy and unique and edgy, like something you'd expect from Bond No. 9. That lasts about 10 minutes, then it driies down into pure...

Based on the notes and previous reviews, I was certain that I would love Carnal Flower, but I simply don't. It starts green and blossoms into a lovely heady tuberose scent for a while... but after...

My feeling about Lipstick Rose? Eww. I do admire the skill that went into this fragrance, but it is very linear on me. Pure rose and violet, which sounds heavenly, but on my skin seems to produce...

Dans tes Bras starts off very smooth and soft and sweet; actually in some ways the lightly powdered violet and (to a lesser degree) iris remind me a bit of a couple other Frederic Malle fragrances...

So much has been said about its chilly, icy whiteness, the dancing snowflakes... that I really start to doubt my own nose. Apart from the subtle, inoffensive freshness of the top notes (they fade...

Some violets, some mud, some salty sweat--not the pungent armpit sort of sweat, more like sweat on your forearms that's dried. This composition at least sounds natural, if unpleasant, but actually,...

The rose was short-lived and the drydown synthetic and rather unsettling. A chemistry experiment gone wrong.

Am I losing my taste for chypres, like my mother before me? There was an initial dry edge to this I didn't like. Then it abruptly became too fruity-sweet (although at least they were sophisticated...

I love this, but it doesn't like me that much.
The honey note is pronounced on my skin, which makes it a no go for me, but if it worked with my chemistry, a large bottle would be on my dressing...

It's an intriguing, modern, salty violet. I was not sure what I smelled in the first opening second(s), but then I smelled heliotrope rushing by, then sweet violet, then salty violets. It stayed...
