    Incense by Madini

    The opening is a bit odd, but what comes after is worth waiting for. Incense 'light'
    with a sparkle.

    Ambargris by Madini

    To smell Madini's Ambergris is to never want to be without it. A resinous, dark, rich scent that is sensuous in ways that other scents can't touch.

    Tocade by Rochas

    A blissfully beautiful scent. May it be in production forever, and may Rochas get rid of that awful bottle and provide one such a treasure deserves.

    Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez

    My first encounter with this masterpiece was passing someone wearing it on the staircase in L'Hotel on the rue des Beaux-Arts. Forever after it remains associated with Mistinguette, Oscar Wilde, attention to detail and full blown beauty. Wasn't it Luca Turin who called it a 'romance bomb'.

    If I could take only one oriental to a desert island...

    White Rose by Floris

    White Rose was one of the favorite scents of Alexandra, the last empress of Russia. I hope that now this lovely scent has been re-issued, it will be around for a long time. I find it a deeply satisfying rose that is never cloying, and one that even those who don't particularly like rose scents appreciate.
