Anvers, New Haarlem and Eau du Isles

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Finally, three scents which smell like nothing else I've encountered! These three came in the mail today, and I'm thrilled to experience all of them.

1: Anvers. A post a while back was from a man asking what scents would be appropriate to wear in a big city. Here's the perfect one, it's urban in a bottle. On me, there are light fruit/citrus notes for a few minutes then it just hits the deck with a powerful punch of amber, leather, and 'second hand smoke' Not stale smoke but the smell of burning tobacco I think, not fresh. I'm at a loss for words on how to describe it. It's sweet and bitter at the same time, it's brilliant. Never smelled anything like it, perfect for a big city like New York. The leather seems to be Knize 10 type leather if that helps any.

2: Eau Du Isles. This is a very masculine smell, and the patchouli for the first few minutes gives it a 'dirty' feel. Raw coffee, dry woods, spices I can't identify, perfect for the winter. For some reason it put me in a very animal type mindset, it has a predatory type feel. I can see why beautyface referred to it as a scent for seduction.

3: New Haarlem: The sum on all gourmands. Warm, inviting, a smell of coffee and cocoa. I want to eat my arm when I spray it on. The perfect gourmand.

I must amend my comment regarding Anvers: For some reason the citrus notes came back, then dissapeared again. They seem to be floating in and out on the periphery of the scent.

A nice trifecta! I'm sure you'll enjoy them all, three very fine choices!
