Belle de Tanger

Belle de Tanger successfully captured the exotic imaginary land of Tangier, orient, sensual yet vibrant. She started with a rather acidic opening, the bitter orange scent is highly overwhelming in first 20 minutes of dry down. Then gradually neutralised by the orris cashmere wood, into a sheer and lingering, yet occasionally poignant citrius. Imagery: She danced like a ethereal desert storm. With her cat eyes and gauze tunics, and sphinix smiles, she captivates. Chanting "يلا حبي يلا، مش حلو تجرحني بهواك/ یالغالی انت و کل عمری ارید اکون معك (Come on my love come on, I do not hurt you You are so beautiful and all my life I want to be with you)" with echoes of handbells. Although the longevity is rather disappointing, she lasted around 4-5 hours on me, nonetheless, this is perhaps one of the best interpretation of citrius. sophisticated, savoury and mesmerizing. 6.5-7/10, an upscale, "aristocratic" version of her many cousins from the house of Atelier Cologne.

Testing my sample; starts off like unripe orange peels before it settles into a powdery skin cream, akin to Jergens. Best-suited for warm weather. I believe it's discontinued now, but if you can get a sample it's worth sampling.

Very simple orange and dry not very sumptuous violet over generic wood. Like most things from the house it smells more like something in the background at a spa than it does like a classic perfume. Not unpleasant; wildly overpriced

A powdery, sweet and lighter little Sister of GPHII.
