Very Irresistible Poesie d’un Parfum d’Hiver

Aww, this is GORGEOUS. Pure heaven for oriental lovers ... Just look at it! The bottle, the colour of its juice, the ad campaign ... And the smell! Very Irresistible Poesie d’un Parfum d’Hiver is an oriental spicy, I mean it, a real one. It's sweet from vanilla and honey, hot from cinnamon and ginger, mouthwatering from juicy orange. Fantastic composition that makes you glow like pure gold, feel warm like in a cashmere scarf, and it lasts and lasts ... Great sillage, radiating around you with your every move ... I haven't been so impressed with a mainstream fragrance for women for a really long time. This perfume is magnificent! Such a pity it's launched as a limited edition - it's nothing like Very Irresistible, and could make a great success on its very own. Goes to my wishlist, I doubt I'll buy it though ... ~~~~ I must add something: I was a bit unsure about writing that this perfume is for those who miss Organza Indecence ... But once JHAG pointed this, I have to confirm it! It DOES bring Orgnaza Indecence to mind.

What a BEAUTY! I'm enjoying this sparkling, clear, spiced orange in the cold weather. Candied orange perfume from other lines often have a deep amber base feel, this Very Irresistible is joyful like a hot spiced orange tea without loads of weighty cream. I put it on before bedtime, and wake up to Its vibrant beauty the next AM. It's big time love this winter

I stumbled across this fragrance in my quest to find something similar to Organza Indecense. I was intrigued by the notes listed and the reviews so I blind bought it for a decent price (even though is discontinued). I just tried it today. At the beginning the anise stood out a little but then it was balanced by the honey and the gingerbread. The rose is a vintage one, in my skin disappeared fast covered by the cinnamon. The cinnamon is a minty one by the way, so beware because is not the super sweet type, I guess the mix between it and the candied orange is what in some reviews here was called a toothpaste smell. In my skin it didn’t turn out like that but I think I get what they were talking about! The dry-down is lovely, vanilla and spices. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the sillage is poor. Longevity-wise, I sprayed it on this morning and now after 6 hours I can still smell it in my hair and neck but is not that strong. To be honest this one is not similar to Organza Indecense... Yes, it has spices but the Ceylon Cinnamon in Indecense is much stronger and sweeter, plus here there are no fruits, apart from the candied orange, so the decadent sweetness of the plums is totally missing. Is a nice perfume but if you are looking for a sillage monster or something to replace Organza Indecense, this one is not it.

If Very Irresistible Sensual is a dusty attic rose, wafting through lace curtains as isolated rays filter through particulate air, this lovely winter flanker is the scent that came from the same plant outside that window, smelled as though standing next to the bush on a clear, crisp winter day, as aromas of orange creme and holiday pastries sail out over the garden from a nearby kitchen. Food notes are more prominent in the far drydown than the opening or heart. Spices are present, but blend to add to the gourmand character of the rose rather than featuring as prominent notes. Those who find the attic rose of VI Sensual to be a tad aloof may prefer this warmer, but no less beautiful, version. I enjoy both very much, each for their own lovely character. Silage with this version is slightly stronger than one might expect, so a little bit of experimentation with wear is advised over wearing blindly, especially to school or the office. Longevity is 12+ hours, though it becomes a skin scent after about six. Overall, a lovely fragrance.

Christmas spice sprinkled over red roses, i love it. The bottle is gorgeous too. My only qualm is that the longevity is ridiculously poor. Its intense until it vanishes completely, which is within the hour. I have never smelled Indecence so i can't speak for the similarities others have pointed out. The cinnamon reminds me of those fire ball chewing gums( or called something like that anyway) that were around when i was a kid, a hot spicy cinnamon, not really sweet. Which is where the honey balances it out. I don't know if its the ginger, but something is a little minty in the beginning, as others have pointed out. Only on me its at the start and quickly disappears and becomes a predominantly rose scent, with spice. Ive been experimenting with gourmands lately; which means trying 2 notes i typically avoid: cinnamon and rose, but this is nice. The rose is vintage, not sweet. I quite like it, but i don't think ill replace once empty as the lasting power just doesnt do it justice given that its a little pricey.
