Sultane L'Eau Fatale

Folloing an initial blast of cumin, L'Eau Fatale soon settles into a more comfortable elegance of woods and cinnamon. The latter note provides a cozy warmth along with ylang-ylang and some, but not a great deal of jasmine. Something about it does remind me, slightly, of both Santal Blush and Adam Levine (both of which I own), but more so of Sensuous and also Kenzo's Jungle (it may be the tamed cumin in the drydown). Overall, however, it does stand on its own, a warm and spiced concoction wrapping itself around you. Great for Autumn and Winter, and even today it felt like a good late afternoon option as there's practically a blizzard outside, despite it being late April. Edited to add that I can find no coconut in it at all. Highly recommended.

At first I had doubt to try this perfume because of the blue coloured bottle. But I bought it anyway since I am a fan of Jeanne Arthes. And I didn’t regret this purchase! It turns out the glass bottle is blue but the liquid is gold coloured. The first spray - the smell is pretty strong for me. After some time it settled down to a rich, creamy smell of deliciousness. The notable scent to my nose is the cumin and benzoin. I’d recommend this to be worn in cold weather. Conclusion : I love this perfume! ❤️

Surprisingly neat and unusually delicious. This cheapie was my best find in 2019. Coconutty benzoin on the warm sandal-musk of Dior Dune with just a hint of smoke in the background. Bears all qualities of my favourite 'suntan lotion' scents (Sensous Nude, Bronze Goddes), but deepens them into a beautiful, autumn witch-y, nearly-oriental luxury powder. It makes the wearer both very desirable and distant, unreachable.

I don't know how to phrase this so that no one misunderstands, my intention is not to bash more expensive fragrances. But... I can't understand the price point of some even niche fragrances compared to this one. So I won't comment other than to say; If you still find this somewhere, don't hesitate! The sandalwood is so right here.

A surprisingly noble and intense scent . For me the perfect scent for fall. The spices are warm and balanced. A beautiful perfume at a great price . Bravo J.Arthes ! LOVE from LOUVE P.S.: The only thing I consider, is the blue color of the perfume.... Because I associate " blue " with " fresh - aquatic" .
