  |  Gourmand oriental? This stuff is a huge let down. It's a super synthetic mess. Every note has a hard plastic edge. It smells exactly like an upscale sunscreen. The drydown does have a nice clean river water note that works well. The only time I would ever wear this is going to the beach or river, or any time I had to be covered in sunscreen. It could be so much better, it's a great idea, I was so excited to recieve it, but it was terrible. 11 September 2008 |
 | I was intrigued by the distinct cardamom note I got on the paper strip. I love cardamom and find it is used way too sparingly in perfumery. I realised the scent would be too sweet for me, but hoped that maybe the cardamom would balance the vanilla sweetness and make it into a spicy Indian dessert or something. Alas, no. On skin, this is a synthetic, sickly sweet vanilla bomb with no trace of cardamom or other spices that lasts and lasts and LASTS. I wished I could get it off my skin because it made me rather nauseous. I won't apply it again. 13 August 2008 |
 |  I have not smelled a more distinctive fragrance ! strong, powerful but not overwelming, I really liked it...it is one of the best fragrances I have ever smelled...warm, enveloping, yet not heavy or synthetic...I use it in summer..it is a top ten in my list!04 June 2008 |
  | I found this quite unlike most perfumes I've experienced. It has a wonderful "oriental" feel that isn't a literal, watery, Japanese paper-cranes-and-white-tea type of "oriental" -- it goes a bit further, a bit South East Asian, with a wonderful jungle-y (ha) feeling: that smell of depth and vegetation and humidity. I'm originally *from* South East Asia so I found this very compelling. I think this is a great evening perfume; a bit too heady for daytime/office wear. It's distinctive and VERY long-lasting -- a little goes a long way! 22 May 2008 |
 |  A little synthetic scent of evening stock (Mathiola) + cinnamon. Strong, longlasting, schizophrenic.09 July 2007 |
  | My best friend use it and it just left the most pleasant aura that have never smelled on a woman: Highly addicitive! 23 June 2007 |
