Candour

Well, I agree - it is very interesting perfume. And that is what I like about it. Wearing it you feel special. I believe not everyone would like it, but I love it a lot! So, never buy this perfume blind, it is the one you must try first!

Tried this fragrance again recently, after a 3-year break and I really hate it - there is a horrible note of boiled cabbage about it, which for me, makes it a scrubber. My earlier review is below and I would not be so complimentary now. By the way, I love Secretions Magnifique, make of that what you will. 2012 review: Sadly, this perfume and I do not get along - it is way too green for me, and green in a cabbagey way, not a peapod, galbanum, fig sort of way. It does have an odd quality of effervescing off the skin, but for all the notes listed, I can't pick anything out and it stays the same on me for hour after hour without ever getting to the milky, vanilla-y, sandalwood drydown I was hoping for. Hope others have better luck.

Unfortunately, it was a blind buy. Don't repeat my mistakes. This perfume is a nightmare for me. The opening was very bright with a lily of the valley scent and a toothpaste accord. The entire bouquet reminded me of a toilet freshener that someone sprayed after the "big deal." I didn't detect any milk or other green notes in this composition, and I felt a nauseous sensation when trying to wear it. The longevity of the perfume is phenomenal. I had to wash my coat after spraying it. Forgive me, fragrance connoisseurs, but I would be happy to find a new owner for this scent.

I remember that i have reviewed this fragrance before & i don't know where it is! This is "Secretion Magnifique" taken to minimal and adding more green metallic effect. In short, saliva on a metal spoon early morning cooper water and sitting in a wetty backyard. Quite unpleasant, and superbly unbalanced. When it calms down (after 10 minutes) the metallic goes light, the saliva decreased, and the green rises, but remains unpleasant and disturbing. Edit (5th Jan 2020) After 3+ years, this smell like a rotten milk! i can't say it has that sweaty armpit somehow but i do get a rotten milk and something like unwashed skin for few days of someone who had sweat days then the sweat gone dry and didn't have a shower since then. It doesn't smell like "Secretion Magnifique" as i mentioned 3+ years ago but it has something awful and quite disturbing to it. It's not the kind of blends that unconsciously you would want to keep smelling your arm although it's weird but the kind of blends that "Oh no, i don't want to smell that" horror thoughts that comes up just fracture of milliseconds of thinking of wanting to sniff it again! As i said, it's rotten milk, cloying sweet, green bamboo, & metallic. The colder it goes the less rotten milk, and the metallic sweet floral rises which makes it similar disturbing as the first top note.

Applies astringent musk. Dry and caustic rubber eraser. Milky sour lactonic tang. Literally hurts to smell. Similarly niche/challenging as Etat Libre d'Orange “Secretions Magnifiques” - but, that is warm/cozy, while this smells like a condom. Not green, maybe bitter sap. One of the most off-putting I’ve ever experienced...only rivaled by Nasomatto’s “Black Afgano.” Strong and long lasting; ironic considering its difficulty. Dry down becomes mostly warm sandalwood with lingering tang of sour milk.
