Pure Aphrodisiaque

There has to be patchouli in this. It is a sweet, floral fruitchouli. The pear is big and ripe in the top with loads of amber, musk and some orchid, jasmine and tuberose. This is definitely NOT boozy. It goes on huge but tones down fast. It could be a headache inducer for some, but I love it for fall.

These are better than the usual Aphrodisiac. Great bouquet, good resilience. I plan to buy again. Scent vibrant, fruit and gentle flower chords.

Really pretty like all their other perfumes a must have.

Yes, indeed, if you love powder you'll fall head over heels for this one. On the other hand, if you expect the fragrance to match its name you will be sorely disappointed because this is soft, sweet, shy, demure and it whispers the color "baby blanket pink". It's not daring, it's nice and it's pretty. Pure Aphrodisiaque is a comfort scent that would be more aptly named Sweet Dreams and packaged in a bottle shaped like a kitten rather than a pussy. I get the sense of Olympea Intense without OI's tang of salt. I also get a whiff of hazelnut which might be the whiskey note. My nose senses no pear and no distinct floral. I'd sum it up as a silky amber powder and the soft musk of kitten fur. Two sprays stayed close to the skin and persisted in a pretty much linear fashion for only about 2 hours and disappeared completely after that. The bottle cap is the MOST annoying I've ever encountered. Removing it requires a hand-crushing twist followed by a hard yank. It goes back on with a snap but I don't think I'll bother putting it back on; instead, I'll just balance it on the bottle in the box with its little peek-a-boo cellophane windows. My 50ml bottle was about $18 at Marshalls. Because the cap is so annoying I contemplated returning it but I'll keep it because I do love the smell of kitten fur.

17. November 2016 It is in stores already and i hVd tried it for 2 days in s row. What can i say? Bottle indeed looks tacky in real life as well and sillage is very soft. Its more like a skin scent. But the scent itself is really nice. The opening got me hypnotized, its soooooo yummy, i like the delicate rum note, since it could have been too strong and could ruin composition. The tuberose is also very soft, the strongest accord to my nose is orchid, surrounded by other notes. Not original at all, i feel like opening smells a very faint version of Balenciagas "Talisman", but a very much dilluted and a weak one. The drydown is similar to "black opium" however. Not sure at all if i would ever buy it, its nice but not memorable at all. And i wish that sillage and lasting power would be waaaaay to better than they are right now.
