Mistress

„Conflicting signals” Expectations can sometimes make the brain jump to a conclusion. Then, when finally meeting the object of your expectations, it turns out to be something far away from what you thought. That is exactly what I experienced with Mistress. I saw the bottle and decided, like a million times before, that I had to own it because it set off my imagination of what was inside. The cube-shaped glass with its black lace decorations and the silk atomizer made promises of a seductive, spicy oriental and warm scent. A whore’s boudoir with loads of colourful scarves hanging from the walls for decoration. A dressing table filled with bottles and jars of brass, ebony and china, containing her beauty’s secrets. Items from her wardrobe spread out randomly around the room. And the smell of incense, exotic flowers and musk. Well, reality could not be further away from this assumption. The first encounter is freshness - lots of aldehydes and ginger. I dare say that this could be taken for a unisex scent. It evolves beautifully directly into the base notes, totally skipping the heart notes, at least on my skin. But a lovely dryout with especially oakmoss and cedar. Unfortunately this is not an enduring scent. It disappears after 3-4 hours. So, was I disappointed? Not the least. Surprised yes, but never disappointed. It was a wonderful experience to meet this somewhat different mistress, even though she was sending mixed signals. She is great for a summer afternoon, a shopping trip with the girls, a day at sea. Just remember that she is volatile so keep a room for her in your bag.

This fragrance is really growing on me. I won a bottle in a giveaway on the Fragrantica club forum and had never tried it so it could have been a real nono for me. What I get from it is - clean, fresh and relaxing. I find it cool and quite zingy, with fresh spiciness coupled with green grassy notes and just a hint of wood and moss. I find it doesn't last very long and the sillage it pretty low. But it's my ideal go to bed fragrance - a double spray of it on my wrists and neck helps me drift off into pleasant dreams. It's not over feminine but its very very pleasing and doesn't go off after a few hours it just gently fades away. I like it!

i go this yerterdayfrom fragrancedirect. never heard of jasper conran it was a blind buy bu im glad i did. this fragrance is very citrus and is longevity enormous.i put it on yesterday on my wrist to try it at 11:48 am and eight , yes(8) the fragrance waas still on.

totally agree luktargott,it is perfect for autumn,a bit serious and cold perfume and i smell it it i feel a bit blue :)if you like powdery green fumes,it is perfect,i dont think it is oriental. after hours you can smell lovely ginger on your clothes.

I think this is one of the perfumes I bought because I really like the bottle.I wanted to like the scent, I guess, but gave it away after using it only twice.The scent is too heavy for me
