The Iceberg Fragrance

I'm glad to review this amazing perfume, because it's one of the most delightful surprises I had in my tour in the world of fragrances. Two days ago I read about its components, and I was intrigued by them; yesterday I went to the shop to try it on my skin, and I was charmed by its inviting ambiguity... today I run again to the shop to buy it, and now I felt in love with it! The most strange thing is that the first notes I smell when I splash it on my skin are a bit too dry to my nose: I think it's due to the presence of coriander and bergamot, wich are not my favorite ingredients. I usually love warm and enveloping fragrances, fresh and citrus notes are not for me. But after few minutes this perfume begins to exhibit all its deepness and sensual complexity: it doesn't lose its biting character, but passing through the tasty flavor of pear, it involves you into the provocative, sensual roundness of vanilla and musk, smartly blended with unusual but gourmand ingredients like pistachio ice-cream, almond and red berries. Moreover, the presence of suede combined with vanilla and all the other components makes me smell additional notes wich are not in the list of ingredients... sometimes I seem to feel the fragrance of finest blond tobaccos, other times the delicious scent of precious wood coated by beeswax... and again other times I seem to smell an intense hypnotic incense. However, I must say that the presence of vanilla does not give to the fragrance an exceeding sweetness (like in other perfumes)... although vanilla is one of the most important components, it is well balanced by the other notes, which are contrasting and at the same time are valorising it, obtaining a unique, smoky, cool effect. What really fascinates me of The Iceberg Fragrance is its seductive ambiguity: it has an androgynous character which makes this perfume a very sexy weapon. I don't mean that this is a fragrance for viragos... I mean that this perfume seems to connect and interweave the two opposite worlds: female and male, warm and fresh, yin and yang, in one harmonoius re-union. And this is very seductive. I think The Iceberg Fragrance is an amazing, outstanding perfume. I'm definitevely in love with it!

Wow, this is as intriguing as it sounded from all the reviews I'd read about it! At first sniff I was struck by how expensive and masculine smelling it was, despite its creaminess. It smelled much more like a male fragrance than a female one (say 65% male to 35% female!) yet the creaminess of it definitely alluded to femininity as well. Fascinating! The longer it was on my skin the more its warm, creamy vanilla / pistachio loveliness emerged and took over from the suede / patchouli combination, so it began to smell more feminine on me. It stayed like this the rest of the time, and I loved it. The only slightly disappointing thing was that it seemed to fade very quickly but then I had only used a small spritz of it so perhaps that wasn't too surprising! I'm hoping that when I use it again it will last on my skin a lot longer. I actually haven't smelled such an interesting fragrance in ages, so unlike other reviewers I couldn't compare it to anything else. It definitely has its own unique personality, which I love. I think this perfume is ideal for a carefree, self-assured, confident woman who likes to take chances and do things differently to what may be considered to be 'the norm'. Definitely, I would think that women who like to play it safe and be ultra-feminine at all times, and who like predictably feminine and, dare I say, boring perfumes such as Anais Anais and Pleasures, would almost certainly not be suited to such an intriguing, ying yang kind of scent. I'd also say that I think this scent would be ideal for men who like to take chances and aren't afraid to let their feminine side show! It could smell just as good on a man as a woman. Also, the bottle is very lovely, almost like a piece of art! UPDATE!! Oh, I discovered that the staying power of this on my skin is pretty poor and it only lasts for about 3 hours or so and then almost disappears entirely! Also, I think it may be slightly too unisex smelling for my tastes. I still like it but I'm thinking that it's perhaps just not right for me after all. Bummer!!!

This was the first full bottle of anything I ever bought for myself, all the way back in 2013. I chose it based purely off the notes, my little 20-something brain doing the math and spitting out "this looks interesting." I don't even know if you can get it any more, but oh, what a gem! There's nothing quite like it. Over the years, my bottle has not lost its quality and performance: it smells and acts just as I remember. The Iceberg Fragrance opens with a light, somewhat sharp head, that to me reads as coriander, bergamot, and a bit of pear, all well-blended. This cuts across the creaminess of the base, hiding it a bit at first. Other people tell me the opening smells like Fruit Loops -- that's not how it is to me, but I get what they're talking about. Fruitiness, milk, a hint of sugar. Fruit Loops gone luxe and interpretive. As the top fades, the floral notes -- to me peony and mimosa, sparkling and sweet -- emerge, and maintain that contrast with the base. Though they aren't terribly strong, these stay for most of the length of the perfume, about 5 hours. The base -- oh, that base! Vanilla and pistachio ice cream, with suede mixing in and somehow becoming edible. But with the contrast maintained by the upper notes, the result is never quite 100% gourmand. Neither does it ever feel like a typical vanilla perfume, where vanilla takes over and runs wild, turning into some variation of cake and/or milk (I have nothing against this, ofc, I love perfumes like that). No, the vanilla is there, but not overriding, edged with greenery and flowers, warming but not dense or plush. As much as I love this one, I haven't worn it much over the years. It took me a while to understand and like it -- I oversprayed it at first, wore it in too warm weather, made myself sick with it. Even now that I have come around on The Iceberg, its unusual nature means I have to be in the mood for it. But when I'm in the mood, it hits the spot every time, and everyone around me loves it.

UPDATE: I'm going more and more crazy for this fragrance! The opening citrus notes, which at the beginning I didn't like so much, now are taking over my heart. This perfume changes every minutes on my skin, and every accords of it are amazingly delicious and hypnotic to me: one cannot exist without the other, and everyone develop like a fascinating melody. At the beginning it's quite harsh and biting (yang phase), soon after it gradually becomes hot spicy, then it develops as a warm spicy scent, and finally it becomes more and more round, dense and enveloping (yin phase). And gourmand, too! It's different also if you smell it from near or from far: when I sniff citrus notes directly on my wrist, people around feel the smell of an enchanting incense... when I sniff warm spicy notes, people smell a heavenly vanilla's fragrance. I have never knew such a "turbulent" fragrance, it's so dynamic in time and space! The dry-down has a vague inkling of Tuscan vanilla tobacco to my nose (although not among the ingredients), which is very exquisite and sensual to me and which makes this fragrance really out of the ordinary. My only regret is that the lasting power is not so great as I would like to, and the dry-down is too close to my skin... Or maybe am I just getting addicted?

Quite a nice little fragrance. and might i say amazing bottle! Something that outdone many high designer brand bottle. THe scent itself is above-average in my opinion, not quite unique but yet a very satisfying gourmand type fragrance. The amount of sweetness is perfect to not overload but only delicately and wonderfully accentuate your skin! Opens with the coriander peppery note that is characteristic of the allure sensuelle, except this one has a smooth leathery tone to it that grinds it down a notch. THis quickly (1hr) develops into a subtler rich aroma where the barely there violets and patchouli come out to play for awhile before descending into a pure pintful of CREAMY RICH VANILLA BEAN ICE-CREAM. The scent stays exactly that of vanilla ice-cream, i love it for that fact, didnt get the pistachio note. Sillage is nice, i get whiffs of it occasionally on myself, perfect for my taste. Longevity is not the best, but i dont mind because i got the adorable 30ml size, so it s perfect for me to respritz again and again, something i enjoy doing. This is definitely a keeper in my collection.

I was really looking forward to try this one after reading about the masculine accords mentioned by some of the reviewers, but unfortunately my skin has brought out only the sweetness again. All I could smell on my skin was vanilla-pistachio-almond flavoured icecream. There were also hints of fresh violet, pear and a little bit of bergamot in the opening but this disappeared quickly and then there was just icecream, icecream and a little more icecream. Quite delicious I must say. Definitely a pleasant scent, but just not what I am looking for in perfume. For the first hour it was quite intense but later it sat close to the skin and lasted about 5 hours. I wish I could experience the full bouquet of this fragrance and smell something more than a boring, foody scent, but it just doesn't seem to work with my skin. Too bad.

Sensual with refinement and grace, yet guarded with feminine vulnerability. I find The Iceberg Fragrance very passionate, yet at the same time, incredibly controlled and perfectly faceted. The almond, pistachio and pear are apparent immediately upon application, with bergamot, pepper and coriander creating a crystalline frame. The flowers are heavenly with a sueded touch, and integrate perfectly with the warmth and body of the beautiful and unusual fruit and creamy nut accord. What remains on the skin is outstanding in its uniqueness and allure, familiar, yet not common. Such a warm, "I want to touch you" fragrance with the caress of patchouli, and the sensuality of vanilla and musk. All the while though being encased in cool spice--a little aloof, yet fully conscious of the soulful fire within.

Oops, I did it again. I vowed to not buy any fragrance out of the blue again but rather buy one I wanted for a long time. Well, I paid 9 Euros for 30 ml so please forgive me. After sniffing this one I simply had to. And I am even considering going back to that place to buy a back-up bottle! :D This has to be one of the most underrated fragrances ever and I cannot see how that could happen. A shame really because I think that this beauty is discontinued by now. First of all the bottle is gorgeous and pure class. Nice twist with the notes printed on two sides and the golden top with an "I" embossed. The scent is just as classy and after an hour I mainly get a violet-leather mix that is infused with coriander and the ice cream accord. I have smelt nothing like this before.

So sweet that my initial thought was of a gourmand, yet simultaneously fresh??? Creamy rich and beautiful, I smell florals and a hint of fruit, combined with sweet loveliness. I could swear vanilla and caramel are here - doubtless created by a combination of almonds, violets, mimosa, and pistachio. No one note stands out to me, rather a lovely conglomeration of charm. If it had been up to me, I would have named this pretty creature something other than Iceberg, which it most certainly does Not resemble. In the final analysis, it doesn't matter what name or genre a scent possesses, so long as it smells Good. Without doubt, Iceberg DOES! Thumbs UP. :D

@ Kittycat63: Let me disagree with you. I get crazy for "The Iceberg Fragrance" and I get crazy for "Anais Anais" (which is not at all boring and predictable as you said). They're very different, but I love to wear both of them, in different season and in different moods. The Iceberg Fragrance is very seductive and androgynous, Anais is more womanly and round, but both of them are very sensual, complex and intriguing in all their layers. So, before saying that who loves a perfume like Anais is not suit to wear The Iceberg Fragrance, be careful... this is just an arbitrary assertion.

This is sooo GREAT!!! I can't believe I finally find the similar with Freya by Oriflame which I adore so much but unavailable now. You won't guess for the first minute, it's a fresh scent! I was so sure. I have several fresh scent that I love so when I smelt this Iceberg I wasn't surprised...Yes, it was a few months ago. And now I keep sniffing.., after 10 minutes...I smell this is just like Freya! I am searching this kind of perfume. What a scent..! Georgeus trans, from fresh to spicy. Absolutely I love the price too.. will have this one ASAP. Oh, I do love everything on it!! :D

A great blind buy. It is a lovely masculine perfume for women. Immediatley i smell coriander and bergamot. I feel like there is a burst of pink pepper in there (perhaps the pink berry note). After an hour the smell of ice cream and pistachio is prominant with leather and musk throughout the background. Just got it this afternoon and took a shower to go out to dinner and wore this masterpiece for the first time. Still enjoying the pistachio creaminess with leather in the dry down 7 hours after initially spraying. Love it. Definately one of the most striking bottles of all time.

MMM... Sniff Sniff....Yumm Yumm.... Masculine vibe - yes, but in a very feminine way :) Soft, a bit spicy, creamy and I would say vanilla - icecream like. Rich and good balanced. Lasting power is good ( the whole day). Good for winter, but it is good for warm summer days as well. Edit: It has been a cpl of weeks now and I cannot get enough of this fragrance. Using it every day. Looking for a back up bottle. Edit: It has been over a mth, have got a back up bottle now. Still cannot get enough of it. Is there any "drug note", perhabs, which is not mentioned LOL

While the pour homme version was an instant love to me, I had to give the pour femme version a couple of try before I’m sure how I feel about it. Turned out that it’s a love! It has unique qualities and indeed a bit challenging. It starts with burst of coriander, then the fruits join followed by the mimosa. After a short while, I smell leather (more like suede), pistachio, and almond. The drydown is lil spicy, leathery, nutty, and fairly sweet. The ice cream note is there but it doesn’t turn this frag into a gourmand.

Wonderful creamy! Overall the pistachio icecream, suede and coriander come out the most on me but at some point or another I can smell every single note listed on the beautiful bottle. At first I get the fruits, later floral undertones and finally vanilla. I like the way it stays interesting just with subtle nuances of change, the notes slowly dancing around each other in harmony. It lasts about 10-12 hours on me. Not something I could wear every day but when I'm in the mood I'm enjoying it very much.

Alright I really need to review this one: the 1st time I smelled it I thought, what is this? I left it alone. A while later I tried again and THEN THEN, I was ASTONISHED! It is a genius perfume, not a typical masterpiece, the perfume is genius. It is futuristic, it elevates you, it is pure class and elegance, it is like nothing else out there. It is for the trend watching people, thinking about the patterns of life and people, it is science and technology! IT IS GENIUS! Action

The Iceberg Fragrance is so luxurious. It is a very sophisticated yet easy to wear fragrance, especially during these winter months. Love the way it evolves from spicy sweetness into a cosy leather/vanilla drydown. Bought the 50ml EDP blind and it is a pleasant surprise. The bottle is understated elegance, as is the fragrance it holds within. Absolutely gorgeous.

Please bring it back! This was such an amazing scent, nothing else even comes close. It starts off with this zesty coriander and bergamot vibe, then turns into the most gorgeous pear-pistachio ice cream on a soft suede base. I found a tiny leftover drop in an old travel spray and I’m obsessed all over again. Most niche perfumes don’t even stand a chance.

Hi Femme, do not know where you live, but i could maybe send you a vial? You being the gold queen here, Yvresse can be your thing too!! Especially the Champagne bottle is absolutely goldish!! And what about Jivago 24k? That actually has gold in the liquid!! good luck!

i totally fell in love with this fragrance.at the beginning its strong and maculine, but later on it becomes very warm and sweet. in my opinion it smells like a creamy dessert without beeing too candy or girly. i will definetly purchase another bottle.

Great perfume! love the sweet mixed with the burned almond and pistachio smell, it ́s so warm and cosy. I love this one and will definitely by another bigger one. The price is also very cheap 12 euro for a 50 ml eau de parfum!

I used this scent several years, i can tell only one words MASTERPIECE. Smells incredible, longlasting and silage is very well. Smells very bold and rich. Affordable price, i highly recommend this marvel :):)

It works incredibly well on my Mediterranean male skin and attracted compliments, the coriander is not overpowering to me and the dry down is a lovely creamy spicy. Love it as much as the male version.

Guest Ginnycat, Do you have an account here yet? I really love your review on Iceberg and I could not agree more with it!!

Yes Femme, you smell this perfume EXACTLY like I do!! We must have the same way of smelling and interpreting a perfume!!

It's the perfect match for my fragrance's most desire ! So Special , so different , long lasting and real exotic .

Ohhh this is such a masterpiece!! just like XS Extreme girl, really stocking this one right now! EXCELLENT!!!

Loved it till the last spray, I feel a lot of peony and almond in it. I will get it again definitely.

Excellent fragrance! vanilla + pistachio ice cream. Perfect for winter or autumn. Wery long lasting.

Two notes missing in the description above are : ICECREAM & PINK BERRIES!!

Thank you Opa so much for your kind words!! I so love this one too!!! :-)

it's definetely both female and male fragrance :-) I like it very much

truly a masterpiece - too bad discontinued

This is the most unusual perfume I've ever tried! I spritzed at 5am, not a lot as I was going to work later. Almost overwhelming fruit opening, not sweet at all in spite of the pear. That woke me up for sure! A little while later the coriander stands out, spicy and strong, together with pistaccio - all softened by the flowers. One hour later it was all gone. Ok, one more spritz, maybe I was too careful anyway. Now the coriander stayed on loud and clear with a huge sillage (my skin usually eats up all sillage). Very very spicy, and even more when I went out in the rain. Drydown came in 2-3 hours, warm and with a rather masculine touch. The leather was very distinct at this point. After yet a couple of hours, it changed once more!! Here comes the ice cream and vanilla that I didn't detect at all before! Very, very intersting scent, spellbinding. But not a casual one, not for everyone I'd say - at least not from how it acts on me. It's a bold, self-confident scent, not girly/pink at all. It makes a statement of strength as in when you mean business, yet inviting, warm and sensual. Try before you buy, but please give it time! So much is going on here! It's a chameleon on my skin, almost scary, but I will come back to it again and again. I love it! Thank you onimoka for the blind swap! After 10 hours it lingers on very close to the skin. I forgot one thing: On the drydown I seem to sense whiffs of mint now and then. No clue why, there's no mint in it, and I haven't seen anyone else mention it..

There it was, sitting all alone among the Charlies and the Fancies in the drogerie - a smoky quartz bottle engraved with massive gold capitals. Oh, it's the notes-how unusual! I was already removing the cap and spraying this on my wrist, as I was reading the notes. What a strong opening. Even with my runny nose I got the pepper and the vanilla - and there is plenty of these two in the Iceberg fragrance. The bergamot is present along with powdery almond and mimose. The nutty feel of the pistachio mingles nicely with the burnt hint from the patchouli, or is it the suede? I'll need to revisit this when I get rid of this nasty cold, so I can enjoy the entire notes panache. As little as I got, I can tell this is exciting, the type of peppery androginous, yet warm fragrances that rock my boat lately. EDIT: Fingers crossed and nostrils wide open, I tried it again. It goes a bit too far in the tomboy zone for me,even though I like the idea. It actually lacked the creaminess that I thought I was missing. Still, it's a likable spicy floral, even though it falled a bit flat compared to my curent favorites of the like (e.g. Moschino Couture, Si Lolita). After all it comes to the personal preference.

If there was a group of fragrances called "contradictory", Iceberg would lead together with Obsession Night. Those two are not similar when it comes to notes. What they have in common, in my opinion, is the presence of seemingly contradictory - or for some even incompatible - features. Thus Iceberg seems to be at the same time sweet and spicy, modern and almost somehow sentimental, gourmand and in a way industrially metallic, feminine and masculine (and no, I am not saying that this fragrance is unisex, certainly not! It is very girly or womanly if you wish, but there is also the tiniest bit of edgy, rough, crude macho rawness somewhere in there), it is somehow "floral", yet the flowers are not pretty or heady or seductive...hm...yes, thinking of that...the fragrance itself is feminine, but the flowers here ARE unisex if that is possible. :-) There is a bit of romantic garden in there as well as a bit of urban chaos, there is earth and there is concrete and dust. :-). And then there is the pear and milky, pistachio ice cream eaten on a leather sofa. To me an enjoyable and a little controversial (still pretty timid) fragrance this is. :-)

I echo Simo's sentiment - why did I not buy this one sooner? It is cozy, fluffy, sweet, nutty, comfortable & comforting - a happy, "winter hug" scent. I find some similarities with Brit & L'Instant, but they are distant cousins, not sister-scents. Iceberg isn't terribly posh, you see. It has a light fruitiness & a rich, creamy foodiness that reminds me of winter deserts, sprinkled with toasted nuts. This could all become too sickly sweet but Iceberg is balanced by subtle suede & patchouli which lends an earthy, grounded quality to the perfume. The overall feel is fluffy, dusty, sweet & sensual but there is a cool breeze blowing through the heart of the fragrance which gives the impression of space - the scent seems to hover above the skin. As it settles it becomes ever more dusty & tails off as a light amber-musk. Ok, it isn't groundbreakingly different, complex or even a scent that evolves much.....but it is charming in its simplicity. I love it, but it is not one to wear to make a statement or go out on the tiles....it will happily hug you as you do the dishes & feed the cat.

Iceberg is really intriguing...I find it sweet, spicy and fresh but also has a masculine vibe. On my skin it works in a great way. First it comes out very sweet and fresh like pistachio icecream, but then it becomes spicier and woodyer, really grown up stuff. The main note still is pear. It has a musky side that makes it a great skin scent. I'm going to use it carefully because its a scent that can be easily too strong for who's surronding you and yourself. Has all pear perfumes, it reminds me a little bit of J'adore but this is a Tom Boy version of it, although after a couple of minutes it gets softer and mixed with the skin and becomes a wonderfull and different composition..oh and it gets mutch mutch dryed! After all I like it but it has to grow on me, its a strange scent, not really feminine and somewhat different from the ideia of a women perfume should be. It definatly has personality and some character. Not easy to like but when you do its easy to wear. Sillage: Ok Longevity: Bah Personality: Its a lesbo in the closet for sure! 6/10

I am confused as fragrantica has one of the notes listed as "pink pepper" but the notes are printed on the bottle and there is no pink pepper but it says "pink berries". Sometimes I don't smell certain notes til i know they are in there so I am so thankful for fragrantica. when I recieved this i read the notes on the bottle and tried to stick certain ones in my head so that I could pull those out. I kept repeating to myself over and over again "pink berries, pear, bergamot, pistashio ice cream, vanilla & suede". and i guess u can say i only smelled the vanilla and suede and maybe some pink pepper even though its not printed on the bottle. So I really liked what I was smelling. A few weeks later I think I am not getting much vanilla and suede anymore, not sure what I am getting, mostly pink pepper. I still love it but it has zero lasting power and I am so sad about that because there is not use in keeping a fragrance that doesn't last; there for this is either going on ebay or getting swapped.

Decorating the bottle with ingredients-notes was really smart :) A 50ml bottle of this is sold here in Almaty for $17(!) so I couldn't resist buying it blind (moreover, pistachio flavoured ice-cream is my favourite). The Iceberg Fragrance is sophisticated and elegant feminine perfume with a little masculine character. Yet it is easy to wear, cozy and - dare I say - delicious. I love it! Strange, but this fragrance reminds me my childhood in my uncle's countryside house: end of December, I come in from the frosty outside, take off a heavy sheepskin coat (it's southern Siberia), there is a smell of wood smoke coming from stove in the entrance of the house, then I move to the living room and it's warm and cosy, there is a fragrant Christmas tree in a corner of the room and a layer cake on dining table with vanillic sweet cream and nuts decorating top and sides of the cake.

The effervescent powder of the suede, the deeply intoxicating nuttiness offered up by the pistachio and almonds and the slight bite of coriander and patchouli round this out to perfection. By far, a stunner but this was not love at first sniff; no I needed to come to it again after some time to appreciate the warm, comforting depth it offers up. It is unabashed in its creamy spice notes, it wraps you up in its richness and doesn’t let up. This is a go to on overcast days when I need something seductive and unusual. I have come across no other scents quite like this little beauty and I love it for it’s strange complexities that blend together seamlessly (although you would expect them not to).

The opening is a Bit soapy but give it a few minutes it dries down to a Nutty Accord and florals it's a bit unsual but Tolerable. so i whould put this on my like list of perfumes. but i really love is the Bottle it has a Art Deco Sexiness to it a light Brown quarz brings to mind the lavish sets they used in those old black and white Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers Musicals the hall of mirrors from the movie The Lady from Shanghai. Jean Harlow in her tight lowcut shelf gown like the one She worn in Dinner at eight Surrounded by Mirrors or a an elegant quarz ring Emerald cut from a woman hand. This has to me the most beautiful bottle design in the world next to chanel no 5 and tresor

Hmmm. I actually checked to see if I'd been sent the men's fragrance by mistake. To me this is most certainly unisex. My impression is that there is a lot of incense in here, but it's not listed so I must be getting something else - coriander perhaps. Leather is there, I guess that's the "suede". There's some sweetness, though I would have liked more of the pistachio icecream. Peony is evident too. A winter fragrance I think - warm, spicy, perhaps comforting. The bottle is enjoyably chunky and substantial (again, very unisex) but the lid has done that annoying thing of pulling the metal ring away from the spray part. Overall - unusual and interesting.

Received a sample of this from the lovely EK, and I'm so glad I did! I probably never would have sought this out on my own, something about the notes and then the fragrance just didn't inspire me. But oh, it has caught me! This smells very aquaitc almost, but there's something warm in the background that holds you. It's a warmth that makes you want to cuddle in closer in the background of a cooling aquatic. I cannot quite describe it now as my nose is just befuddled at how strange but beautiful the two opposite scents are together. Altogether it makes for a very interesting fragrance, and one I will be revisiting.

Proof positive that a fragrance does not have to cost a bomb to be magnificent! This smells unique, spicy, warm, expensive and MODERN! There is nothing sweet or candy-esque here. This is a statement perfume. I agree with the reviews that say it opens with a blast of coriander but I can immediately smell the bergamot and vanilla as well which really tames and mellows the coriander blast. It’s clean and crisp and yet warm and I love to wear it when it’s raining. To me, if ever there was a perfume made for the rain, it’s this one. The silage is very, very good and on me, the Eau de perfume, lasts a good 6-7 hours.

Oh, definitely, I do like it. Yes, somewhat different, even unisex, warm and nutty. A bowl of oatmeal your Mom prepared and just that tiny bit of pistachio. It has that definite fall leather/suede thing going on. Soft, gentle, warm, just a bit sweet...nice, comforting winter scent. This is not a big loud statement perfume of any sort. Fine for work, weekend days while you hang around the house reading and making stew. Is it sensual? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The first blast is a lot of coriander -- a ton, in a very green way. It's a bit overwhelming but you have to give it five minutes. Then it blends in and it becomes this delicious nut and vanilla ice cream that you're eating in your leather jacket. Delicious and still a whiff of leather every once in a while. Not too sweet though you could definitely wear it to work once the coriander dies down. Very unusual vanilla, there's really nothing else like it.

I'm kinda confused with this perfume's name..it doesn't suit well with its fragrance but thank God it suits well on my skin xD I'm okay with this, the only problem is when i first sprayed this, all I can smell is the citrus note. 1hour later, i can smell the floral note. The patchouli is very noticeable on me. Because I have many perfume with patchouli notes, it becomes familiar with me.

I have not wore it enough to give a full review but up to now: this perfume is spicy and sweet and it smells a little like men perfumes, sexy, not boring at all. Both bottle and scent seem much more expensive than the price, very long lasting, on my skin a single spray lasts for more than 12 hours and on the cloths even for days. I like this one very much, it worths really for the price.

I was so disappointed, trying this fragrance after the beautiful reviews. Something, like L'Instant? Maybe, but it's missing some notes, which make L'Instant so good and tasty. It's strong and bitter on me, not a good, 'yummi' feeling, but like a plate over-rosted pistachio. I've got headache from this one. The bottle is very nice. What a pity...
