Having thought of Enslaved repeatedly in the past months, I finally was lucky to get a sample from Gerald (A BIG THANK YOU ONCE MORE!!!).
I have just written a review about it comparing it with Habanita, which will be posted "in a few weeks", so I copy it below.
I'd love to hear your view, your comparisons, observations!
Also, has anyone tried the Parfum of Enslaved? Boy, I'd love to, but I can't just fly to London for the sake of this
Does anybody know where to get a tiny sample of the parfum? Enslaved is on top of my to-buy list now.
My review:
"I really do not understand why this is not given more attention and praise. I own and love Habanita (EdT and Parfum Extrait), but one has to be fair. Compare Enslaved EdP with Habanita EdT and you have to admit that Habanita smells cheap, which is okay as I don't think it would be appropriate that it smelled too much of luxury and so forth given the idea behind it. The comparison with Habanita Parfum Extrait is difficult. Enslaved EdP is very close, indeed. However, I think Enslaved is a touch "warmer" and does not have this subtle green note (galbanum?) that runs through Habanita. Again, I am not a 100 % sure whether Habanita Parfum smells of quality all through. In the end, Enslaved manages to be a touch less ladylike, which I have come to appreciate. Then, think of the price difference as Enslaved is the EdP! Enslaved has good, noticeable but not offensive sillage, incredible longevity (even with my unforgiving skin chemistry), smells heavenly good and of quality ingredients! What more do you want?"

If only it were available in the US.
