Evening Edged in Gold (2008)
by Ineke

This is a soft, subtle floral fragrance. The osmanthus is there from the start to set the stage, and I have no idea what "angels trumpet" smells like per the notes. But I do get a soft osmanthus based floral which gains some unmph from a very prominent cinnamon note. I love cinnamon! and it was very smooth and well integrated. As the drydown approaches this fragrance gets richer, and almost ends up with a soft incense smell. Midnight candy, leather and woods are the final base notes listed - but I just smell a soft incense floral. I would have liked a more forceful ending, but there is a faint suede, gold smell that brings this to a close.
Overall, soft floral with spices, with the whole affair getting a nice, rich ending - but still fairly faint to me. I do think it matches it's name, as it does have a gold tinge to it, and was certainly interesting throughout.

This is an interesting fragrance. Flowers with something mysterious. I think the golden osmanthus is a unique note. I do know I like the softer drydown better than the opening. I don't really get either the saffron or the cinnamon though as the fragrance wears, it gets a bit more spicy. Good sillage.

This one's got EVERYTHING going for it. Exotic osmanthus...Angel's trumpet (deadly but delicate) "Midnight Candy" (I have my own ideas about that) Leather and woods!! (And I would swear some coriander cuz there's the teeniest hint of skank, on me)

A revolutionary smell - ripe but with the nip of saffron and cinnamon - heady but subtle. A winner!

love, love, love this perfume. i have had my wrist glued to my nose all day! it is my favorite by far of the ineke line-- i found the warmth of this scent to be a surprise after the first four. fuller-bodied than the others, interesting. I will definitely buy a full bottle of this one.

This is one of the oddest perfumes I've fallen for. It achieves the objective of smelling like a brand-new kind of flower or plant. Claims to be osmanthus-based but I don't get that except for a powdery quality. It smells spooky, and I mean that in a good way.
