Intimate Silhouette

This definitely has a woody, resinous beginning, but as it dries down the vanilla and nutty notes come out. After dry down, it's a gorgeous semi-gourmand, with minimal sweetness, which I love. I enjoy nutty notes and the woody/resinous base together. I'm not big on vanilla, but the vanilla note in this isn't overwhelming and is well balanced. I don't get any jasmine or much musk. However, the sandalwood probably contributes to the woody and slightly creamy aspects. Also the sillage is quite good, but the lasting power is where this really shines. It seems to be almost eternal on my skin, and that is rare for me personally. This is definitely bottle worthy for me. If you aren't into super sweet or overly powerful vanilla scents, but still like those slightly gourmand, woody notes in combination, this is a good one to try.

This is stunning to me. I'd never heard of this fragrance before, but while on a trip to Tennessee my husband and I stumbled into a Fragrance boutique in an outlet mall. The clerk recommended this to me, and I immediately fell in love. I find this to be oh so sexy. It's deep, dark, and definitely intimate but it's also very sweet and sensual. My husband liked it as well. We picked up a gift set for a reasonable price, which included body lotion and shower gel. Paired all together, I have no issues with longevity, however, with the perfume on it's own, the lasting power isn't the best but I love the scent enough that I don't mind reapplying. I get the hazelnut for sure, though I do pick up on a coffee note which is not listed. This is definitely a gourmand, perfect for the an evening out! I love the scent!

Wow - I didn't really know what to expect with this one but based on the scent profile and many reviews, I gave it a shot. I am so very pleasantly surprised by this! Yes, the bottle is clunky and not terribly chic (the plastic topper could easily go) but the perfume itself is magical. I love a nutty note in a fragrance and have been looking for a well blended scent with sesame seed. I have McQueen's Luminous Orchid which also has sesame but alongside the pepper it comes off spicy and a bit sharp. Here I get that same soft spice but it is blended with the other notes in a way that comes across as creamy and delicious. It is a gourmand of the non-gourmand variety. Sweet without smelling like a candy or food item. This was an excellent blind buy and I highly recommend.

It smells exactly like what the bottle looks like. I know it sounds strange, but the smell immediately transports me to a gorgeous dark, velvety evening dress, like the bottle. It makes me think of the reflection of the moonlight on water. I didn't really know what sesame smells like, but this smells like a slightly sweet, gourmand musk/ second skin. For the first hour it smells better from afar than close up as I get something that smells a bit chemical-like; however, as soon as put it on and sat next to my partner, he gasped and started sniffing me, wanting to know what that delicious smell is. I'll come back after a month to talk about longevity, but so far it projects well and has been projecting for the past 2 hours. I'm very happy with this buy. Smells luxe

This is INCREDIBLE - I purchased this as an alternative until I can afford Penhaligon's Dorothea BUT this smells nothing like Penhaligon's - however it is a delicious all the same. I have put it on all day, all night, for 3 days straight in a row, which is rare for me because I like to put on 383839 perfumes a day. It puts me more in the mind set of Carven Paris Bangalore, MK Mystique Shimmer and SJP Stash (maybe even L'ange Noir due to sesame) - but it smells nothing like those either. It is sweeter with vanilla, it is nutty, and it is woody. SCRUMPTIOUS! A mysterious sexy woman who spontaneously jumps into children's Double Dutch jump rope game; she likes heath candy bars, and watching reruns of Sex in the City - wears this fragrance.
