   |  Another beautiful perfume from PdN! It is a kind of oriental floral gourmand with a spicy vanilla incense drydown that rivals Shalimar. In spite of that description, the scent is not too heavy-handed. I always receive compliments when I wear this and I always am eager to recommend Parfums de Nicolai. I like it best in the intense concentration. It isn't stronger; it simply lasts longer. PS Sadly, this has changed. It is no longer spicy and it has no incense in the drydown. It also has very little of the initial, sweet jam note. Still pretty but not what it once was...15 November 2009 |
   |  Just OK. Although it's sweet and faintly (femininely) floral there's enough jasmine here to make me feel that I could carry it off. To me Sacreblue smells like soapy jasmine bubblegum, not unlike many of the soap bars one can find in LUSH (handmade cosmetics chain store).21 October 2009 |
  | Argh! I loved this, but it reminded me of something I couldn't quite name... I wish I hadn't read the review that says it smells like children's Motrin, cause that's it! Well, it's still gorgeous, but just too syrupy sweet for my tastes. 06 July 2009 |
  | While I like Sacrebleu, I’m finding it very difficult to love. Granted, it’s a well composed fruity-floral, with a rich powdery vanilla and incense base, but its longevity and sillage leaves very little to be desired. Although it’s very sweet and consists of tuberose and jasmine, a confident man can easily wear this with panache. As it stands, there’s nothing detrimentally wrong with this Guerlain-esque composition (although, unlike me, some may have reservations about its sweetness) but it’s certainly lacking some oomph, in order for me to unreservedly award this a thumbs-up. 28 June 2009 |
  | The sacred tuberose in the first minute is really great but when jasmin which is not the best quality is added scent becomes somehow metalic. The second quality jasmin oils have this side scent; so does the ylang ylang and violets; a kind of bitter and disturbing metalic like note. Also the final scent is sour on me. 09 September 2008 |
 | I just don't love this one like I thought I would. Ah...the search for the most wearable tuberose continues for me. It reminds me of Children's Motrin, the liquid, at first. Fruity...pleasent. The tuberose and vanilla make a nice enterance in the drydown, but it is very soft, close to the skin, and the whole composition seems to sit very flat on me. The spice remains for quite a while. Pleasent...I will keep my sample and wear it casually. It just dosn't have the ooomph or sex appeal that I am demanding of my fragrances lately. Notes are listed as: black currant bud, peach blossom, jasmine, tuberose, vanilla, tonka bean, Yemenese incense 12 January 2008 |
  | Infinitely sexy, yet very wearable. An olfactory delight. 13 November 2007 |
 | I have used nearly an entire bottle of this in the Perfume; definitely a great fragrance; my husband loves it; yet there is something that lingers a little/dominates on my skin that I find irritating; something kind of spicy. It lasts forever, a very sophisticated beautiful scent I just don't love it the way I love my recent purchase of Bois des Isle -- 14 October 2007 |
 | Of the five or six PdNs I've tried, this one is my favorite. Like most PdN, it changes greatly from start to finish, but this one retains that class, warmth, and slight sweetness all the way to drydown. As well, it's longevity is quite good. It is quite feminine, given a fruity accord (raspberry maybe?) but it is no more feminine than Rykiel Homme and infinitely more classy and warm. Definitely worth a try. 20 December 2006 |
