Terre de Sarment

A classy, uplifting aromatic gourmand fragrance that does not overpower. The impression it gives you is of waking up to a sunny morning in some Mediterranean island villa. The perfume opens with citrusy notes of grapefruit, grapes, neroli and caraway. It moves into a more spicier base of cinnamon, nutmeg, amyris and orange blossoms. Finally it settles into a nice spicy powdery base of frankincense, myrrh and benzoin. A bit masculine leaning with moderate sillage/projection and longevity, this is lovely understated slow burn of a perfume. Enjoy!

In contrast to the many lackluster reviews, the perfumer hit my sweet spot dead center with this one. I knew I'd purchase a fb long before the dry down. I appreciate it to the degree that I don't wear it on my wrists in public to avoid constantly sniffing myself. But privately!....I repeatedly, deeply inhale this amazing creation (for the head rush) well into its final stage. Mood altering in a very good way. Thank you, J Faugier!

I love this. I sprayed some out of the little sample vial I bought and was quickly looking for the price of regular bottles. I'm a huge fan of nutmeg in perfumes and this one really has it. The only downside for me is that although it gushes forth a good 2 1/2 hours, it suddenly disappears at the 4th hour. It's just gone. I wish it had left more gradually.

Very beautiful! I find it quite feminine and it reminds me very much of the middle of Valentina Assoluto minus the fabric softener finish. Not overly spicy, I get more of the creamy orange blossom and a bit of the incense... not much of the spices at all. Quite linear and wears close to the body, but a very nice fragrance.

This is an incredible bright woody fragrance. It's very unique and smells nothing like anything else in my collection. It's slightly on the masculine side of unisex, so for the bolder woman. The projection is good but the longevity is excellent. This has been my go to summer frag for 2012!
