Paris Izmir

Delicious rose. Starts somewhere between the top notes of Parfum Sacre (but not so spicy) and Aromatics In White (just without the patch and the amber base notes). The heart notes remind me a little of Kenzo Flower L'elixir (the red one) - but of course without the praline note, which one gets tired of easily. Just fine, a creamy combination of myrrh and rose. It takes some time to settle down, the opening is pretty strong. But then it stays beautiful for hours, balanced and harmonious. The best season could be autumn, luckily spring is coming - so I can save some money until september.

A gorgeous oriental scent that strongly reminds me of Calligraphy Rose. I do not get the freesia, the rose is the only floral player for me. The benzoins, myrrh, sandalwood and patchouli create a feeling of honey in my nose. So Paris Izmir is like rose and honey to me. A very pretty rose with some very delicious honey. Strong in the beginning, but it barely lasts two hours on my skin. Thank you for the sample, E.!

Reminds me of a tart black rose that may have fallen into a pile of bit-o-honey. Rose myrrh benzoin and sandalwood- no freesia on me. Nice. I cant remember 100% but i believe it reminds me of a cross between AB Millionaire Black Rose and or Judith Leiber Night. Not my favorite in this line but not a bad fragrance. SAO PAULO & FLORENCE ARE LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF

Brought this out after a 3 year break- and it’s definitely a big, spicy, jammy, honey rose! Extremely similar to Calligraphy Rose. Fall is the correct time to wear it. Lasts all day. I’m glad I didn’t get rid of it.

I get faint roses and more freesia, good quality and lasts well. Not worth the pricetag though :(
