Sultane Noir Velours

I'm not a jasmine fan but this thing does a good job. You'll get the heavy floral at first (i don't get the bergamot notes), after 10 minutes it's tamed down into nice subtle vanilla-musky something. Feminine but firm. The longevity sucks, sits around 2 hours on my skin then gone. but with $15 and get this kinda scent, i really don't mind to spritz every 2 hours or buy another bottle every 2 months. Amazing how they put ALLURING scent in a pretty bottle and sell it uber CHEAP. Genie in a bottle, this is a steal. LOVELY. Oh, it doesn't remind me of Lolita Lempicka. Not at all. I have both. Totally different. For me LL is stronger and more on the sweet-spicy-bitter side which is also nice.

I can't wait for my Sultane Noir on next 2 days. buy it from online store for only $10. I try it because someone below said that this is like Bvlgari Jasmine Noir that I had it before and I love it. will give an update review on Thursday. Edit : surprise.. just received my bottle today ,very beautiful. for me the start smell so fresh, so citrusy and delicious. It amazingly last for more than 10 hours cause i could still smell the vanilic coffee scent. the dry down smell like delicious cappucino or coffee candy. :)

I own Red vanilla and to me it does not smell anything the same at all, but it just goes to show how we can all perceive scents differently. Personally I love this scent, very powdery vanilla and strong with the mimosa and heliotrope. I think the shape of the bottle represents a pregnant lady and the cap is symbolic of a sperm and egg, very artistic design....

One of perfume that I use till the last drop without I realize it. I love the smell, it give a warmer feeling especially in rainy season. I also got many compliments and people asked me what I use. A real gem considering the price. I think I gotta buy another one.

Wow! I tested this today in a shop where they also carry cheap and ultra-cheap fragrances on rotation. I couldn't avoid trying this (9.90 euro) and I was quite surprised because it's not bad at all! Not a sophisticated multi-layered niche of course, but not stinky cheap either. It is a little on the cheap side because it's not complex. The first burst is fresh and slightly citrusy but it soon goes straight to powder-fruit, like a long-long-long far cousin of original (Goddess forgive me) Poison in the purple bottle and (ehm...) Shalimar? I don't know exactly what reminds me of that. Another more striking similarity is with Varens Love, probably both aimed at same effect. I tried Sultane (what a funny phoney name!) and tried also Chloe Love on the other arm. Well, after about 3 hours Sultane still smelled the same, no morphing, same fruity powder, only thinned but present and more vanillic, like a your-skin-but-better. Chloe Love smelled stronger but more vile than Sultane, at least to my nose, even more chemical with a strong shampoo note (not pleasant) Humble Sultane won over hyped Chloe Love. For sure I will go back to the shop and buy a bottle! Edit 2: I went back and bought full bottle! I smells like a floral version of baby talcum, feminine, interesting but tamed.
