   |  Sweet and smooth woods and myrrhe. Soapy, quiet, boring. Next!09 November 2009 |
   | Smells very much like cinnamon with woods in the opening, despite the fact that there’s not supposed to be cinnamon in the blend. Cinnamon with woods shines all the way through the drydown too, and makes me really wonder why there is not a mentioning of this spice in the list of notes - or where that cinnamon-y smell is coming from…. To me Palisander is a very simple and linear cinnamon-wood fragrance with detectible saffron note. For sure I get the (slightly smoky) myrrh too, but it is very much engaged to that wood theme in general. Nice scent, but that’s it. 03 February 2009 |
   |  The only fragrance I would buy as of yet with a hint of heaviness. One of the four, so far, that I would ever buy a full size of.Smelling this scent, I imagine myself lounging on a bunch of pillows in a warm open-air room. Maybe I'm smoking a hookah, I can smell a touch of smoke in the notes. And I made it all happen myself. I find Palisander so empowering, relaxed, and sexy. Smooth, despite the pepper note. I can definitely smell the androgyny but it's so wearable for a woman. I would wear this out for a night of partying or at a concert. I wear strong, tough clothes with it. 18 November 2008 |
  | Gorgeous wood fragrance, but not a harsh wood -- it even reminds me of Bois de Filao sometimes early on and that is sweet. CDG persist with the peppers as usual and it works ok, but the drydown is the star here with the incense topped cedar working wonderfully. One of the best. 17 November 2008 |
 | Peppery woods with a hint of the soapy note that is myrrh. Very well constructed. Very heavy. The notes bounce around so nothing is ever present which makes this amazingly interesting. Sometimes the woods come out, then it's spicy then it's soapy and then back to woods and then it's soapy again. Only I do not like the myrrh note but otherwise an outstanding scent. 29 June 2008 |

| What an odd little bird Palisander is. I am not sure that I would have even known it was a "wood fragrance" had I not read up on it before purchasing and even now, I am still perplexed by it. Palisander is, in a word, shy. I reapplied it several times in an effort to coax up any sort of discernable smell. All I really get from it is a soft whiff of a new cork board or a new rubber eraser which I think is due to the myrrh. There is a faint wood smell too but overall, Palisander is an unusual delicate little fragrance that doesn't smell like much of anything. Here are the notes, courtesy of The Perfumed Court: red wood of the Brazilian palisander tree, red Virginia cedar, Japanese red chili peppers, Iranian saffron and Yemenese myrrh. 19 June 2008 |
