Isis

As soon as Isis opens you get a sickeningly sweet accord of fruity flavours and loads of coconut. I'm surprised it's not listed in the notes to be honest smells a bit like cocoa butter or malibu with that hint of booze in there. As this oriental gourmand dries down it reveals the benzoin and peach vibe which I seem to instantly associate with more feminine vibes. It's not all peaches either, more a mixture of fruits which make it seem exotic like a cocktail complete with chopped fruits & umbrellas. This caramel business is serious in this fragrance, If you don't like gourmands I'd steer well clear of this one. The dry down is lovely, not exactly loud but it's not shy either, a definite sweet vanilla/amber which is fairly pronounced and has a smooth high quality feel to it. I'm a sucker for scents like this despite my grown up sophisticated side wanting to brand this as too sweet or not my thing. Isis plugs directly into my primitive brain which in essence is a big child that just wants comforting strawberry shortcake type aromas. In all honesty I couldn't wear it, the sweetness would even become cloying on me after a while. Agonist make really interesting juice though and some of them beyond classification.

Everyone else has already done such a great job of dissecting the notes that I will just say what this perfume is like to me. It's a woman in a sundress, or perhaps a man in a tan linen suit, sitting at an outdoor table in a sun-drenched garden on a leisurely day off. Beautiful butterflies of vibrant colors are making their way amongst the flowers, and there is an afternoon snack on the table. There are luscious, juicy peaches and tangerines. And there is ice cream--the creamiest orange sherbert swirled with a pure, sweet vanilla--drizzled with caramel syrup on top. There isn't a care in the world--only appreciation of the surrounding beauty and a pure, innocent happiness made more complete by the beautiful scent of the flowers and the delectable taste of the ice cream and fruit. This is Isis. I smelled Isis for the first time one week ago. I did not take home a sample or even a sprayed card. But I couldn't stop thinking about it all week...it's THAT great. So today I went back and bought it. I love citruses and sweet gourmand perfumes, and this one was the perfect combination of both. I know now that I have found my Holy Grail sweet citrus gourmand.

This is just gorgeous! I've never smelled anything that can compare to it. The overall impression is a multifaceted intense caramelized amber. It is so seem-less in the blending that you cannot pick out the individual notes. Excellent for special occasions and evenings out. Also great when you feel like you could use a pick me up. Longevity and sillage are stellar! This is worth every penny! 10/10 all the way!

Thick, heavy, rich, spicy Amber scent with a fruit cocktail in the background...canned, syrupy, fruit cocktail. Men seems to love this scent in a carnal sort of way. I love it! I think it smells absolutely nothing like What We Do In Paris Is Secret, as someone mentioned. Isis is much too deeply spiced to be compared to WWDIPIS. It becomes especially spicy on me in the dry down.

Yet Another Beautifully, Well Crafted Perfume From Agonist ! The Opening Is Bright And Loud But The Dry Down Is Sweet And Subtle. The Caramel Vanilla Peach Dry Down Is Definitely The Highlight Of This Wonderful Fragrance. This House Deserves A Lot More Credit Than It Gets! Longevity: Good Sillage: Good Full Bottle Worthy :)
