Tempo Rubato

Gorgeous creamy, bitter, leather. The sweetness of the apricot just brings it all together. This is an addictive scent that you want to keep smelling.

Finally I have found a Maher Olfactive perfume that works on me. The opening is strong, a mix of florals in a heavy apricot stew— although this is not my favorite part of the scent. The strange part of this scent is that it turns into a powder makeup bag....leather and iris, of course, is causing this sensation. Dry down is long lasting, and I agree with Chicago Tony below that this is feminine leaning. Mr. Maher is a tad heavy handed in the lab, but if you can get past the opening (about 45 minutes) this is an interesting, pretty perfume.

Way more floral than sweet or fruity on my skin as the jasmine and other florals take over with a slight touch of greens and creaminess on a light leather base. The opening is harsh and I feel it's geared to females way more than males. Way to left field for me and does not last long in the heat. 4-5 hours tops.

This one came out with a very VERY intriguing initial opening accord -- it left quickly, but for that split second or two, it really intrigued me. I didn't love it or even enjoy it, it was just unique in its weirdness. What remains is a strange fruity-rubbery accord that doesn't work, for me. It's musty, unaired and smells very 'lived in'. I get an odd cardboard note, too, and for me and mine, it's a little more 'out there' than I feel comfortable with. Not for me.
