I dislike the original AdG, always have because of the bitterness and strange orange synthetic note. The Essenza after one wear won me over, smooth opening, soft woodiness once it settles down....

Disturbingly bad. This opens up obscure, smoky, spicy and what seems like an attempt of a jasmine flower note. I have smelt jasmine notes from higher end perfumery and this is utterly...

This is the first Montale fragrance that I've liked enough to merit purchasing a full bottle. I would like to wax poetic about this frag, but Darvant and others have pretty much captured it's...

Digging this up as I finally got to sniff Belle d'Opium today.
Someone else on Basenotes said it was a fruity horror. Um!!!! Think they sniffed the wrong fragrance. Its a spicy warm oriental, no fruit. I do get the Nu vibe from it but its not as peppery as the Nu.
Have to wait until Saturday to get a proper sample and not just a sprayed card.

The adjectives used in the first video...innocent, fresh, light, jeunesse, naïveté, for a girl ready to blossom into womanhood...made me curl my lip cynically. Strange and different and addiction pique my interest. I will definitely test it in hopes that something truly wonderful has been done. But why not just leave old Opium alone? Still, time moves forward. I enjoyed watching the 2nd video. How nice to do creative work that is inspired by everything you see and do, walking down the street, looking at architecture, looking at art. I want a job like that.
