Odette

I don't get the citrus so much...just the amber and spice and everything nice. bit of sweetness in there too. I'm a confection today! Reminds me a lot of Spadaro's Doux Amour....which means that I have two frags that smell *almost* identical. Doux Amour is lot more womanly and "in charge". Edit: This one is pretty much (to my nose) a dead on dupe for Diptyque's Eau Duelle. Maybe it's my nose but it's hard for me to tell them apart...apart from the price difference...

Notes as listed on box of Moulinette Soeurs Odette EDP Top Notes: Pink Pepper, Bergamont, Juicy Mandarin Middle Notes: Velvet Lilac, Pear Nectar, Orange Flower Base Notes: Red Amber, Musk, Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood These notes sound great to me! But I have a hard time enjoying this fragrance until it gets to the warm amber sweet/spice drydown. I tested this fragrance in the store on my skin, but some got on the sleeve of my sweatshirt and I kept coming back to that scent on my sleeve, really enraptured by it. Finally I gave in and bought the juice since I was home for Christmas and I do not have an Anthropologie where I live. The packaging claims "clean, modern bouquets with notes of old-world Parisian romance" and I think I do smell something "old-world" or vintage here, but it's hard for me to put my finger on. I'm really not sure about this fragrance now that I own it. I seem to smell notes that are not listed and I'm missing notes that are listed (the whole middle note section is lost on me). I do not get any fresh citrus from this fragrance. Something is spicy, pink pepper? Has more of a raisin or plum sense to it. My biggest hurdle here is something like lead pencil shavings that I have perceived as cedar in other fragrances. Odette starts off too sharp for me, but gets warmer and sweeter in the dry down, nice Amber with a hint of musk & incense, this is the stage that appeals to me. This lasts for a long time on me and I continue to smell this throughout the day. Would say medium sillage. Lovely packaging.

Sweet, warm amber and sandalwood. The citrus is barely noticeable except that it makes the whole fragrance lighter in an almost unidentifiable way. Ageless, delicious, comforting.
