CYCLE 001

I have just received my sample and have been wearing it for only fifteen minutes. I've given it an enormous sillage as my daughter walked in and said immediately 'what is that GORGEOUS smell?!' and I was on the other side of the room. The first thing that struck me was that I've not got anything like this. I've never smelled this before as a perfume, but I've certainly smelled it before - it's a new shop! It's a salesroom that's just been cleaned. My daughter said it's 'shoe shopping for going back to school, sitting amongst hundreds of pairs as you try them all on, with hoards of other kids' It's heavy on the Ambroxan. I smell the sea. I'll add more in a few hours after dry down... Nearly 12 hours on and it's still working hard but has changed. The scent drifts in and out throughout the day, sometimes barely there, then returning with an arm long blast. I've now found myself on holiday in the Dordogne, visiting the little perfume shops in ancient streets that are filled with aroma. I'm by the pool in our gite on an evening, as the nearby scent of a powdery flower is nearby - but the aqua of the pool is stronger. I'm really in love with this. My daughter tried at the same time, and she too adores it. Sniffalicious!

This scent is SO nostalgic for me!! If you were around in the mid to late eighties, maybe you were a kid and it would remind you of your "cool" babysitter with the blonde feathered hair and frosted lipstick that never looked that good on yourself... Maybe you were a bit older and it was your friend who wore a row of tiny stud earrings and went to the 18+ new wave dance clubs... Going on, it smells more like pine and graphite pencil shavings than anything else. But once dry, this smells exactly like a combination of that 80's contemporary drugstore perfume "Love's Baby Soft", Aquanet hairspray, and the barest hint of Marlboro light cigarettes on your clothes that you had just come in from the cold to go smoke and attempted to cover up with some doublemint gum that lost most of its flavor long ago. But everyone knows where you were and they don't really care. It's light, clean, and breezy, but a bit grownup- like you're a good girl hanging out with a more risque crowd but still have your head on your shoulders and aren't going to allow your future to get fd up. Things are still fun and easy, the whole world is ahead of you. I love this scent so so much!

I just sold most of my collection after realizing I only need a few. Of my keepers, this is at the top of my list. It is something I wear every day and it just seems to create an aura that changes with the weather. It’s earthy, slightly green, and musky. It’s as if I were to take a couple drops of Helmut Lang EDP, French Lover and Another 13 and mix it with some magic - this would be it. This is not loud and is more of a personal/intimate experience and I look forward to wearing it daily. Just stellar.

It smells like wet concrete combined with the air right after rainfall. Airy, green, extremely light smell of foliage, more damp woods, light clean laundry smell. Very nature like and a great skin scent. Worth the price I'd say if you don't like heavy 'perfume-like' smells. It smells like nature. Longevity is great. This is an extrait de parfum.

Very very easy to wear musky+Powdery Scent. i love the greenish rooty Angelica root that make this fragrance quiet unique. I want it a little more last on my skin. but for this price think it's Ok to be over sprays.
