Emerald Reign

Oh my gosh this is lovely! When I got out of the shower and sprayed this on to test it, it was love at first sniff! I've tried from the same house Benevolence and Cherry Garden, but I didn't have the same reaction to it as this one! The bottle is absolutely fascinating, and the spices, combined with a warm ambergrisse (not listed but I get it as a top note). This really reminds me of the vintage Cartiers, and Ambre Nue from Atelier Cologne but with more of a 'WOW' effect. It's slightly sweet, but in no way synthetic. I'd say it's probably the same elegant, but sensual (almost sexual) vibe as Shalimar has. The sillage is really good, I can get it easily out of armlength and still noticable after 5 hours. The only downsize it that it is so expensive, but I will get a full bottle of this juice someday!

Emerald Reign is all velvety spices, rich amber and milky sandalwood seduction. Groundbreaking? No. But I do love wearing it, especially for that long-lasting true Mysore sandalwood blended with heavenly spices. A couple of sprays and I'm enveloped in the most gorgeous cloud of creamy cardamom, nutmeg and coriander on a fluffy benzoin-amber blanket... or rather, a plush angora throw. That divine Mysore sandalwood is so well-blended that it sort of sneaks up on you... Lasts over 24 hours on my skin, and forever on clothing! Note: Emerald Reign shares some similarities with Ambre Sultan, but it's smoother and a touch more woody. AS is more complex and sharp with its pungent oregano and other herbal aromatics.

had samples of all the perfumes from this house. The bottles are stunning and beautiful quality. this one was interesting. initial spice blast that made me think of Christmas, then settles to soft creamy spice after 2 hours. it is a truly unisex fragrance spicing reminded me of an androgynous coco chanel. one of those perfumes you keep wanting to go back to; however the price tag is off putting.

I just purchased this and couldn't be happier - blind buy, and spot on. The bottle is beautiful, but the scent, even better. Fruits and spices are present (but well balanced, i.e., not overly spicy), and a nice sandalwood as the base. I just love it. Smells exotic, but not extreme in any way. Very elegant, and long-lasting.

Now we are making a statement with Emerald Reign. My goodness, after an hour this scent is still going strong Brazen Indonesian spices and oils. This scent can stand up with the best.I will have to add this scent to my niche collection.
