Erotique

Cant believe this is marketed as a woman's fragrance. I love spicy male fragrances and tried this after reading the reviews on here. Alcohol blast at first, after 10 minutes spice and woods with a hint of sweetness. I also smell cedar in there somewhere but cant detect the listed rose note. Not very long lasting but well constructed. Don't let the pretty bottle fool you. If you are a guy you could possibly have to hide this!! In my mind the nearest fragrance in the past to this was the Gucci pour homme that was discontinued. I suppose if there was a lady involved in the purchase this would surely be one for sharing. Ideal for an autumn cool day but probably wouldn't have the lasting power for an evening out. My overall rating 7.5 out of 10. If only there was a concentrated version!!

This is my signature autumn-winter perfume. I bought it last year, and fell in love. I'm still not getting tired of it, though I haven't used it in the summer at all, it's just so winterish for me! Reminds me of the beginning of october-november when it's not yet winter but that special crispiness is already in the air. Also reminds me of burning dried leaves, it has a sweet smoke-scent that is not overpowering at all, but comforting like wrapping a huge comfy blanket around you :) Maybe I'm a bit infatuated with this perfume but if you like smokey, dark but sweet scents, with pepper and leather, then give this a try! On me it lasts for a good 3-4 hours.

Raw smokey leather and cedar. I was in love after the first smell, I didn't even have time to appreciate the rose and other woods, the first sniff made me almost fall onto my back from olfactory pleasure. This is truly erotic, in the way that it fulfills the desires you don't dare to name. No sweet pink trendy horror here. A perfume with such a name makes a promise, and this made me wary a little (what if I get a big dose of the terrible candied fruits that are trendy today), but this one keeps that promise.

“A scent needs to reflect all the different facets of my personality. It had to be elegant, glamorous, sophisticated, sexy, dark, and mysterious” This is gorgeous but the longevity is seriously poor in the sample I tried. I absolutely love the scent itself, though and am really interested in getting a full bottle. Unisex, this has that dry almost smokey oud-y wood note mixed with very sexy and sensual soft leather notes. Slightly spicy and quite rich it's really delectable. I just wish it lasted longer! 8/10

This has been my go to when I can not decide which scent to wear. I am extremely bummed that it is discontinued. I have been stocking up on the gift sets via the Dita website. If there was sex in a bottle, this would be it! That is the only way to describe this peppery-leathery juice! Unfortunately your bottle will not last long. You will want to use it every day, and it disappears on the skin quick so you will need to re apply often. If you love black pepper, this is definitely the choice for you.

I think I've reviewed this before, however I somewhat solved a puzzle by accident today :) Erotique always reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it. Today my BF tested CDG Wonderwood and that's it! Sure, there are differences but still IMHO they are alike and one who enjoys one might also enjoy the other. Also, if you're looking for a wallet friendly alternative - check it out. We will now share my bottle of this. Thanks, Dita!

Wow. Simply put: this is leather and sex in liquid form. Incredibly seductive, but not in your sensual and feminine way. It is seductive in the whips and chains/BDSM dungeon sort of way. Granted, this type of brazen scent isn't for everyone, but it is certainly something I find incredibly appealing. Bravo, Dita -- you've done the perfume form of unabashed eroticism perfectly.

Amazing scent that ist full of all the notes I love and adore. Sillage and longevity is moderate but the bottle is so compact that you can easily carry it in your bag to steal a spritz now and then. On me the scent is mainly pepper, leather and amber. So sexy and elegant and perfect for fall! PS: Layered this with Midnight in Paris today - fabulous leather vanilla bomb :)

Addictive, niche-like, super good¡!!!!! Love! Sooo, at first sniff I found some similarity to L'Artisan parfumery then Black Cashmere by Donna Karan. It is mild and seems to fade quicly, but after hours you can feel it. Unisex. But really sexy. The appeal of real soul, and mind and the depth of our inner sexuality. Mmmmmmm....

Beautiful feminine leather. Doesn't hit you with sweet/flower/gourmand notes as some do. You do get the rose, but it compliments rather than overpowers all else. This can challenge some niche leathers, but without the scary price tag. Decent longevity, too.

For some reason this perfume makes my mouth water. Makes me want to put on my leather jacket and go to a local bar where you can listen to legendary 80's/90's music. It's a very strict scent. A man could easily wear it. Thank you Dita, thank you!

Oh, after the test I finally bought this, and I love it! Perfect, though doesn't last long on skin but it does on hair! I got the idea to layer it with L'Air De Rien for a knockout punch... But waiting for the occasion.

This is my absolute favorite fragrance, and seeing as how difficult it is to get a hold of I am using it sparingly as possible. So incredibly warm, smoky and sensual. To say that I covet it would be an understatement.

almost as good as Boadicea in a softer way; an oud, smokey, nice, subtle, warm; this is amazing for the price and does not smell cheap at all, it plays with the oud big boys

This is what I wanted Stash to be... leathery, peppery, sensual with a masculine edge. I adore it.

Dry air and smoked wood in latex gloves. Addictive.

At the very beginning, this smells pretty alcohol-y, but after a few seconds, it is very woody. There's pepper and coriander, and then after you can very much smell the guaiac wood, the cedar, the sandalwood. Leather comes out too after a few minutes, as well as some smoke. It feels a lot more 'masculine' than I was expecting. It's edgy, sexy, dark, daring, and like a leather jacket. It's also pretty dry. If I ever feel like having a little extra 'oomph' of confidence and sexuality, this is what I grab for. It's dominate, which from Dita's career, I can see the BDSM connection. I at first didn't like this. It was way too masculine and powerful for me, not what I thought of, as a slightly more feminine woman, as erotic and sexy for myself. But the more I sat with it, the more I enjoyed it and sensual and empowering it felt. It's one of my favorites now from her line. This isn't 'erotic' like a crowd pleasing Victoria's Secret "sexy" fragrance (which I initially expected for some reason, but should have known better), this is 'erotic' in a more fetishistic, raunchy, naughty way- having fun cracking a whip. After an hour of wearing, the scent still smells like wood, leather, and smoke. The rose and musk never really came out for me. It's not exactly a skin scent. I'd say this has a few inches of projection. Though if you're truly being 'erotique' at the time, perhaps all you need is a scent within an intimate length anyways 😉 Update: At around the 2 hour mark, it really turned into a skin scent. I can still smell it on my skin, but it's pure woodiness and sandalwood now, with an ever so slight sweetness. 5 hours after applying, I pretty much no longer smell this on my arms. I do smell it radiating some from where I sprayed on my chest, but it's lighter and woody.

For a celebrity fragrance, it's definitely not for everyone. I consider myself to gravitate towards unconventional scents, but even though I did like it, it took some time to finally admit it also was not for me. The price is phenomenal for such a unique high end-like scent. The bottle is cute with the lock/key stopper to prevent unintentional spraying. I had a smaller version so it was meant to be stored 'lying down' rather than an upright bottle. Initially, there is a blast of alcohol which takes way longer than usual to die down before being over powered by spicy leather paired with dry wood fresh from a forest. Definitely get a hint of sweetness from rose after the initial few hours, but it is barely noticeable and over powered by sandlewood. Quite long lasting, still reminiscent after 5+ hours, but the scent evolves a bit over time. Recently tried the Le Labo's Rose 31 body wash and it reminded me of a lighter 3+ hours in scent of Erotique. Unfortunately I had to rid this scent from my collection because years were passing where I did not have an appropriate occasion to wear this. I found myself missing it after using said body wash.

Erotique has been recommended to me as a scent that has a niche quality to it. I bought it unsniffed with high expectations. I would not really call it 'niche'. I would not say it smells very expensive. But at the same time, it smells far from cheap and far from boring. Among the celebrity scents, it stands out. It overpasses many boring perfume on shelves by miles. It is more daring than most recent releases and that I appreciate. For me, it is mainly a leather-woody scent. I get a lot of leather and sandalwood on my skin. It is an interesting wear as I do not own anything like it and it takes me out of my comfort zone. It feels a bit 'raw' and quite mysterious. It's a scent of a Victorian midnight party, with elegant gentlemen sitting on leather sofas smoking cigars. People say it is loud- I personally think it is just about right. Wearing it during winter months it surrounds me with the woody mist and does not invade the space too much. I recommend of you like interesting woody scents.
