Illicit (2006)
by Billy Jealousy

The clean, fresh laundry but not soapy scent really got me. It's refreshing, mood elevating goodness. Sampled at Nordstrom, and I can't get it out of my head. I need to sample again to make sure, but this seems like a for sure thing I need to get.

Not too crazy about this one, albeit, it may have gone stale, but I find it to be a little too herbaceous. I do detect a little sweet but mostly greens and spicy with a hint of lavender.

This is like an EDP version of CK One. Spicier and greener. Was a blind buy -- not quite what I expected, but not bad at all.

The sales lady at Nordstrom insisted that I try this when I bought my bottle of Gendarme EDP. She said that it was her favorite clean scent. While it wasn't bad, there was nothing special about it to leave an impression on me. All I can remember was that it was fresh and slightly sweet. While JaimeB says that this is EDP strength in his review, it didn't last very long on my skin.

5th June, 2008.

The packaging claims citrus, bergamot, ivy, ginger. I smell some wood in the base as well. It's an EdP strength. Kind of green at first (the ivy, I guess) and then sort of spicy and slightly sweet (ginger and bergamot?), but the green note persists.

Very nice, quite different from anything I've smelled before.

Keywords: Modern, clean, fresh, green, slightly spicy, and (maybe) young.

Worth a sniff, if you're not too much into traditional formulations. This one is different!
