De Mauvais Augure

the top is all almond then the middle is a quick deep burst of pepper and juniper with woods that I love, it gets smokey and balsamic; wish it stayed there; that fades and we are back to an almond gourmand scent with notes of woods and juniper; wish it was less sweet in the base

This one took me a lot longer to dissect. The initial spray has an almond/clove and peppery aroma. The pink pepper slowly gives way to that almond goodness with just enough clove to carry the sweetness. Once it gets to the heart. It transforms from and effervescent spicey almond to a semi gourmandish delight. Brilliant! That woody almond with a pinch of clove blends very well with the creme brulee. As For the drydown. The scent kinda hovered in this territory. Sweet and delectable. Side note** I actually thought for a moment that i smelled some florals. Like ylang ylang or lily of the valley. But alas... Nope! Not listed. I don't really detect much smoke or juniper berries. But what my nose misses yours might easily detect. This scent is a shape shifter. It started off in one world and ended in a completely different realm. Very interesting indeed. Just like lucidite, the scent and sillage lasted quite some time. Just my opinion and sharing my thoughts. As always please form your own opinions and take some time to try this fragrance line. Kind regards, Lj

This is a really great scent. At first I thought it was cherry, but almond makes sense. I wanted to buy my bf this scent, but it isn’t available anymore. I guess Ikiryo no longer exists? Such a shame!
