Blue Silk

Bought this based on reviews, was, for me, a risky blind buy, it's not that I don't like woods, but pine/juniper? Being from Florida the smell is not only quite familiar but I know the full force of those particular wood scents and it can be quite overwhelming if not nauseating. Thankfully I am both amazed and happy with what it turned out to be. Yes I had a strong but SOFT and sweet blast of Juniper at the opening, my face softened instantly with a "Whew" that's not the bitter pine I'm use to around here. Instead it's one of the best blended scents I've gotten in a long time. It radiated quickly into a smooth, warm, neutral sweet scent, sandalwood and prominent cinnamon comes through, with some really overlapping Jasmine and pepper. I can see why many consider it very Unisex as I think it would work well on most men (I pretty much only wear uni or "her" fragrances anyway) but I think those who don't would still be happy wearing this. The dry down was VERY nice and unoffensive, and I got many compliments from those who found themselves within scent range of me today. (The fragrance guy is at it again, wow, what's that you've found now?...lol) Many thumbs up were received. Now to my only complaint, which is SOLELY personal. I love the bottle, simple yet elegant, but, for a "non cheapie" fragrance to NOT have a cap irritated me. Using a clamp instead, and leaving the top exposed seemed rather "tester" cheap to me. Yes, I'm "That guy" who doesn't want people to think I've resorted to buying a tester..LMAO (how silly we can be with our affectations, yet I say embrace yourself in totality, it's better for the soul that way), and so, yeah, my only complaint, is that a fragrance in this price range has no reason to be cap-less, resorting to a clamp, and looking like a tester. BUT WOW DO I LOVE THIS SCENT.

I just sprayed L'Agent on one wrist and Blue Silk on the other. My first impression: L'Agent has a spicy kick, while Blue Silk, while still dark and spicy, it's less so, much gentler and more wearable. The DNA is the same, but these are two different perfumes that no one would confuse for one another. Comparing these to women in a party, L'Agent is the extroverted, attractive woman in a short red dress (frilly, nice decotage, attention-getter) who sips a cocktail laughing out loud, surrounded by fans. She's very sexy and flaunts it without any shyness, loving to be the center of attention. She is not precisely beautiful, but her body and her charm make her very attractive. Meanwhile, Blue Silk is more reserved, talking only to a person or two at a time. There is an air of mystery about her, and people wonder from afar about her, but are too intimidated to approach her. She has a timeless type of beauty. But don't let her pretty face fool you: there is definitely some darkness hidden in this girl. She doesn't laugh even once, only smiles demurely, and no one is sure what she's thinking. Her dress is midnight-blue, long and elegant, and she sips champagne.

Kinda confused by the review bellow mine and i am wondering if we are reviewing the same perfume...A man's fragrance? A GUY WEARING IT? No freaking way. This creation is ultra dirty, ultra femme and sex packaged. Makes my hubby go insane, just like the original pink bottle AP. I honestly can't say which out of these two is better and sexier. Blue Silk has just the right amount of everything, starting with musk, rose, juniper, and all the way to the tonka bean to give it a tad of sweetness. I personally don't detect any citrus in it which is a good thing, because i despise the citrus note in general. I have no words to describe how hot and sexy this is, but in no way is this made for a man. Not for a manly kind anyways...It's my third Agent P perfume and i am expecting L'Agent in the mail, quite excitedly. So happy i snagged this in time, they are becoming quite hard to find, especially L'Agent. Longevity of Blue Silk is insane, i am going into 11th hour so far and it is still projecting like crazy!

I received this perfume as a gift and got really disappointed at first as I remember not liking the original AP when it came out ages ago. Then I opened the box and sprayed it on. And the opening was harsh, almost repulsive. And I got even more upset. BUT after about 5 minutes on my skin (dry) it turned into a very beautiful powdery scent. It had a very prominent retro cosmetic scent, like my grandma's powder case. But at the same time it had someting unique about it that kept me sniffing my wrist again and again. After about 30 min I grew slightly anosmic to it, however my boyfriend kept on saying that he could still smell it on me, even outside in the wind. The longevity is great, I could still smell it on my wrists after almost 12 hours. Again, it's a very soft, close-to-skin scent, but it stays on. Overall, I'm surprisingly impressed and loving it. Would recommend to someone who likes Histoires des Perfumes creations. Forgot to add - in the middle notes I strongly sense bubblegum wrappers.

Into the woods. Unexpected find. Blind bought it as it was GBP 16 for 100ml. After reading the notes and a few reviews I decided to give it a try. This is probably the best fragrance I have ever smelled in this price range. Very woody and spicy, with distinct juniper sweetened by tonka and a tiny bit of peach. It is quite sharp and a bit soapy. To me it smells complex. If I blind smelled it, I would've said it's a men's fragrance that can be worn by a woman. This is for a woman that is confident in her skin, mature or an old soul. Not trying to seduce anyone yet be seductive nonetheless. Imaginary character that would smell like that would be some sort of a sorceress. I would love to smell it on a man. In my opinion, it is better from many mainstream men's offerings and more interesting for sure. Safe blind buy, for the price. If you like woody/spicy fragrances, just go for it. The only let down is the longevity. I get around 4 hours on my skin, but you can always respray during the day.
