Nouez Moi

I love this fragrance. It's my second piece from House of Sillage, and there are a few more on my "must have" list. The fragrance is just beautiful - fruity, floral, spicy, but not sharp or boring in any way. I get a bit of a classic (slightly powdery) vibe, though not "dated" in the least. Quality fragrance that comes across as soft and pleasant (won't offend), yet very unique and definitely not bland or forgettable -quite the opposite. I agree with the last reviewer that it is similar to Bottega Veneta EDP, despite the differences in notes and a distinctly different opening. I received a sample of Bottega the other day with one of my fragrance purchases from Bergdorf Goodman, and was eager to compare. Yes, similar, but not the same, and I much prefer Nouez Moi for it's superb lasting power, beautiful bottle, and nicer blend (IMO). I wore both fragrances one on each arm, and and continued to enjoy NM long after no trace of BV remained. NM is more refined, softer (quality-wise, not in terms of projection), and again, perhaps a tad more powdery, more luxurious. I do like Bottega now that I have tried it, but no regrets having spent my money on Nouez Moi.

It took me a while to describe this scent. A little hard, but not because it's a bomb of notes. Why exactly, I do not know. Perhaps because she is very unique to my nose. To start, in the opening I sense immediately a spicy but slightly sweet pepper en a very clean and elegant type of rose. As it settles on my skin, the patchoeli gives a more earthy tone and the bergamot adds a light, but welcome sour edge. This makes the whole scent more mature and elegant. The kardamom then, gives a soft, powdery note to it whereby it's a fragrance made to wear with the dresscode 'Black Tie'. Maybe that explains the name, 'Tie Me'? All perfumes made bij this house are Extraits (30% perfume), whereby you don't have to worry about sillage or longevity. Of course, it should match your skin. Nouez Moi stays easily for almost 24 hours on me, and even the next day I can smell vague traces of rose and patchoelieleafs. Nouez Moi wears present, but fresh, and the rose is amazingly elegant yet seductive. A lady of class, taste and elite. The inspiration of this fragrance was according to Nicole Mather, no one less than the beautiful Audrey Hepburn.

This scent is very captivating and beautiful as is the black cupcake bottle design! This is a beautiful classy sexy grown up rose scent! I originally purchased a discovery set from House of Silage and fell in love with this one right away. The smell lasted a longtime on my skin. I would say at least 8 hours. I kept getting wafts of the scent throughout the day and I just had to have a full bottle. That being said, as much as I love this scent, I could not bring myself to pay full price and was resolved to just enjoy the sample for as long as possible. But, to my delight it went on sale and I was able to pick up a bottle for half price! Half price seems like a good value given the uniquely gorgeous bottle and lovely scent. Full price is way more than I would be willing to pay! If you like roses scents and beautiful bottles give this one a try.

This one is indeed pretty similar to Bottega Venetta's. My nose is not sophisticated enough at this point to differentiate too much between the two. That being said, Bottega Veneta was a RARE love-at-first sniff for me. So do you need both? probably not. Do I need both? Yes. Only bc this is one of my absolute favorite type of scents.

This is a musty, retro-feeling, dusty patchouli rose. It's spicy, and although it's not listed, I'm getting cumin, which makes it smell a little animalic on my skin. I adore patchouli, but this one isn't a love. I've tried others in this style, and although I love all the notes listed, the way they are used here just isn't my preference. I'm happy to try a House of Sillage perfume, because I don't have a lot of on skin experience with them. The good news is that upon wearing, the cumin settles down and it gains a fuzzy peachy feeling, making it much more comfortable and approachable. I do feel a touch of cardamom, which adds to its warmth. It starts to feel similar to one of my favorites, Guerlain's Chypre Fatal, from their Elixir Charnel collection. I prefer the latter's opening and heart far more, though, and the peachiness is more pronounced there.
