Femme Fatale Роковая женщина

I have been lucky to try several Art Deco perfumes and will be posting reviews on each as I am ready :) Elina Arsenieva is the owner of Saint-Petersburg Perfume Museum and creates the fragrances as part of her creative work. Here is what she says about Femme Fatale: "Woody tobacco scents gained popularity when women had to replace men in many areas of life - and started to smoke en masse. Back then, advertising associated smoking with independence and a modern lifestyle. It turned out that women are not at all tender, weak-willed creatures made of beads and lace with the rights and responsibilities of a ficus pot." I find this perfume a very accurate and realistic representation of fresh tobacco scent. It's not gourmand and sweet, though quite feminine. You can see an elegant, graceful woman, smoking a joint of good tobacco... For this reason I don't find this perfume very wearable unless you do smoke :) But this is truly a work of art and I am happy to have a sample in my collection.
