Opôné by Diptyque

My first Diptyque fragrance and I'm amazed. Roses in a very masculine blend. I've tried a couple of other "masculine" rose blends but this one beats them all. Very dressy and mature. I'm wearing it during the day in business dress clothes and it's very appropriate. I could absolutely see this at night or for a formal event.

Jicky by Guerlain

I had read the other reviews of Jicky and heard some discussion and made up my mind to try this fragrance and see what the noise was about. One sniff and I was hooked. This begins herbal, very powerfully herbal. This fades quickly to an animal scent. I've seen this as civet/fecal. I've never smelled a civet, but the fragrance isn't fecal. It is animalistic whatever it is, sharp, pungent, almost heady. This passes a bit more slowly and lends to a soft floral and leather note that seems, to me at least, to offer up some spice and woods. A fragrance to try. It won't be for all comers. For those who can wear it: a fragrance that you won't find on everyone. Classic and unique.
