A Rebours

I got a tiny sample of this just to try-I'd not read much at all about the company or the controversy. I really quite liked this-initially it is a sharp, tart, white floral, overwhelmingly freesia on me. I don't particularly like white floral, but that gave way after about 15 minutes to a far smoother and more rounded gentle musk. Its not a hot ,sultry musk though, its summery and light with a sort of forest woody hint. There's also a hint of powder and I'm getting some violet as well even though thats not listed. I'm hopeless at picking up animalic notes but if this is what they smell of then I'm happy with that-its a lovely scent. I didn't get any melon, just a very slight tinge of orange about an hour in. As for being unisex-not the first few minutes, but certainly after the top notes have calmed down I think it could be easily unisex.

You people are idiots..not only because you're judging people you don't know for nothing more than soapbox-reasons, but also because this is a FRAGRANCE REVIEW page, and VERY FEW of you have even smelled this scent. Get off your high horse, and stop pretending that you're a better human being just because you like to whine about fur usage. It's simple: If you don't like it or don't support, then don't buy it. But don't make us out to be Satanists, just because we find this to be a work of art. Also, if you're going to be this crazy about your point, I dearly hope you're strictly vegan and only use products that are 100% proven-and-tested to be animal free. Because otherwise, you'd be a wild hypocrite. If you'd rather spend all your free time protesting for a dead fox, then go right ahead. I feel sorry for you, though.

The scent of Forest ... Woody,Green and lush..... a Fox runs wildy about ...... This is a male fox .. searching out his vixen... a manly streak belies...this womans fragrance... civet and castoreum give this fragrance a wild animalic /leatherish feel.... The charming Fox tramples over florals as he goes about his wanderings ... might they be wood violets & roses..perhaps There are hints of jasmine and carnation... just enough to spice it up. I wore it today ... as I walked my dog in the park! I got reactions from strangers .... "WOW! thats a great FALL scent!" pleased with myself ... I spritzed some more on... Ignore the FUR CONTROVERSY and order a decant from your fave FRAGRANCE DECANT STORE like I did ...

Very animalistic but light and crisp. I can see wearing this to a casual party or just in jeans. I'm not a "musk" kind of girl, but I would wear this more in a heartbeat. The fur? The company states that they acquire pelts that would have been tossed anyway from forest management culls. So no animal HAS been killed for this product, they're just taking advantage of a specific situation as the animal would have been killed regardless. It is up to you if you want to take umbridge with that. Is a moot point for me as an actual bottle is out of my price range.

You people need to get a life. It's just perfume. Half of the people that are hopping up on a soap-box have never even smelled this..."this," referring to a FRAGRANCE review page. And even if you're not too keen with owning a real fur bottle, they also sell this fragrance in glass tubes...possibly to appease the lifeless hipster drones that really need to get their priorities straight. When it gets down to it, this is a piece of art. And if you can't get that through your hard-headed, misguided hippie mind, you're most likely blind, deaf, and dumb.
