Berberiades by Stéphanie de Saint-Aignan

an intriguing scent, with spicy notes creating a feeling like one is in the middle of a bazaar waking up - when the odour of people has not yet domunated the goods. jasmine and citrus adding freshness to the scent.

Scent by Costume National

sensual, a scent of plants, a bit of a strange incense - such that reminds me of the kindergarten toys when one had to name the smell closed in a small cup...
quite original and not too floral.

Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules

a strange scent. at first, hits with an alcoholic smell. then, it develops into something with a bit of incense, a bit of some citrus... comes in waves and can last quite long.

Safran Troublant by L'Artisan Parfumeur

not a all-day, everyday, casual scent.
but really sensual - not another simple flower thing.
a bit sweet, spicy, somewhat heavy.
To wear it - like 'An edible woman' of Margaret Atwood - would give a clear signal 'eat me' - and this can have many meanings...

Incense Rosé by Tauer

for me, it's better than L'air du dessert marocain - more feminine, although still spicy, a bit heavy and incense.
A rose done very good - not the Bulgarian-rosy-extract but still a rose, still a woman.
A scent to seduce and to feel good even if alone.

L'Âme soeur by Divine

the first scent is almost alcoholic - like the old "98% alcohol" perfumes in the Eastern block countries.
then it's nice.
a scent to wear to casual occasions.gives the sense of feminity.

L'Air du Desert Marocain by Tauer

a little too heavy for me so a 3/5 - would be a 4/5 if it were lighter.
spicy. like the air above the desert is so filled up with melange (see Frank Herbert's Dune).
the air does not move. it is the centre of the world, under the sun.
not a scent I would wear to work. but maybe a scent I would use to seduce, If I wished to do so...
