...or actually, Jolie Madame by Balmain.
I was interested in the leather/floral notes and made a cheap, blind buy of this. (This is even on Overstock.com for a good price.) Gadzooks, this is really a men's floral scent, or at least a unisex!
The notes, according to Bois de Jasmin: gardenia, artemisia, bergamot, coriander, neroli, jasmine, tuberose, rose, jonquil, orris, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, musk, castoreum, leather, civet.
Once you get past the very floral top notes and mid-notes, the drydown settles into the leather, oakmoss and vetiver. Voila--a men's scent, and I detect violets. This seems like the true dandy's scent that I have been looking for!
Enough for a dandy to reach for a flacon and say, "Bah! Women's scent? I'll be the judge of that!"
This is supposed to be a cousin to Bandit, BTW.
