Brulure de Rose 13 by Parfumerie Generale

It reminds me nothing about roses, it smells like artifical lychee flavour dessert/ canned lychees in sugar syrup. It felt like something sugary and sticky spilled on the skin, definitely can attract bees and ants.

Fleur de Thé Rose Bulgare by Creed

This is the soul of Bulgarian roses in liquid form. So Exquisite that it breaks my heart!

Bandit by Robert Piguet

I ordered a bottle of Bandit EDT unsniffed, just got it this evening, and I am just delighted for how right it smells on me! Just speechless... If wormwood were included in the original version, I can imagine how bitter, medicinal and DARK the original was, I must search for it.

Angelique Encens and Bandit were supposedly two fragrances used by Dietrich known to the public, and I love them both equally much. I consider them unisex, uncompromisingly individual and contemporary.

I can totally see how they posess angelic and devilish qualities seperately. I'm deeply amazed by how ingenius these perfumers were, to create such theatrical and timeless perfumes with green notes. Can't live without either of them, both are divine creations. :)

Mandragore by Annick Goutal

This is a beautifully composed fragrance, there is nothing I would disagree with in terms of the composition. I really like it, this is the type of perfume I had been looking for, something greenish & lemony but not too bitter/harsh. Yes, the longevity and sillage are poor, just like most of Annick Goutals except Songes. But I'm not ready to give up this one yet, I'm getting a EDP.
