Petales

I'm trying to pick out the individual flowers in here, and I can't. There are things that might suggest lavender, hyacinth, and some white flowers (particularly lily), along with an accord of fresh greenery after a rain, but nothing seems to jump out at me in this huge burst of a perfume. There's simultaneously indole and a slightly-chemical soap, wrapped up in a velvety texture. Imagine cramming as many flowers as possible into a bottle, shoved in so tightly you can barely fit on the lid, and then once it's ready to burst, you let just a tiny bit out and it explodes in your face. That's what spraying on Petales is like. It's really very interesting. I'm puzzled, and I can't decide whether this is something I actually want to wear - it's a beast with old-fashioned tendencies - but it's certainly fascinating. Well done!

This actually made me laugh out loud, jesus christ. I always assumed "burns my nose" in reviews as kinda figurative. This actually burns in my nostrils and hits the back of my throat. Not a painful burn, but jarring. Indole is described as "mothballs, camphor green and intense", that'd be it. Easier to deal with sniffing through a wool sweater, still burns. Also featured: a hyacinth that should've been tossed a few days ago, and something like that American sugarfree gum with spearmint and cinnamon flavor. Not really minty, more camphor. Started out with strong hyacinth, seconds before the indole/camphor/burn developed and took over. At that point it exhausts my sense of smell within 4-5 sniffs and it's hard to get nuances. I'll try to rest my nose for a few minutes, and suddenly get struck by a wave of mothball. Doesn't change much from there on, just fades over 8+ hours.

This one Amazes me on the full throttle direction. Red roses + Purple lavenders + few other flowers mashed up harshly in a blender with black pepper then pour on some greeny notes to calm the sharpness of the roses & lavenders. Later, the balsamic, ambergris, and tonka bean darkens the atmosphere and adds mystery to the room as it brings up some animalic emotions as an aura around the mix. but be aware it might make you kind of sneeze because of the huge pepper dozes. To me this is unisex at max as i don't believe in genders when it comes to fragrances. quite impressive and love to me.
