Bagheera

not as scary as it sounds (and I wouldn't suggest I was better placed to describe this than Q80, whose reviews I have long turned to).. I'm happy to wear it on a sunny spring day, though with a few more sprays it could easily be an evening fragrance too. The top is violet, a nice cool iris and suede, the other animalics are there (with the cassis) but they are closer to the skin and not attacking passers-by. Very easy for any gender to wear and something about it does keep making me sniff my arm. You can tell its from the same brand as psychotrope..but they are not the same....and I ended up buying both! nearly a year later... revisiting this and 2 unsolicited compliments, one from someone a couple of metres away...and I'm very much not an oversprayer...lasts all day and evening too (rare on my skin).

Starts with nice smoky leather that sweetened with some dried berries , but also has lots of earthy (and slightly boozy) vetiver next to it. I feel decent amount of orris roots in here, but they are not powdery, they’re quite waxy, dark and dry. After a while you can detect more violet in it and it becomes a bit softer. I love the complexity of this scent! Follow me on IG: scent.guide

Tried this at a niche boutique perfumery. When I skin tested it, it was radiating of my skin and I couldn't help but continue to get a deep whiff of it. It isn't a scent for everyone as some of my friends say there is a indescribable note in there they don't like (I feel it's the truffle) but for me it's a indulgence scent that can be worn at day or night.

A soft cloud of pale violet unfurls; powdery, cold, and smoky. Within seconds, it reveals itself as a violet–leather pairing, a familiar combination I’ve often encountered. Violet lingers throughout the fragrance’s life, constantly shifting its shape: at times borrowing the powdery elegance of iris, at others turning tart, and sometimes candied, shimmering with an iridescent gleam. What makes this composition stand apart are its unexpected twists. At first, I perceived it as edible, grainy, almost chocolate-y. Later, I realized it is the effect of the (imaginary) truffle note for this impression. There is also a striking facet of burnt paper: as though you had set the corner aflame, only to snuff it out, leaving behind a dry, charred, woody trace; both austere and dominant. It is, without a doubt, an unusual fragrance. And like everything that refuses to be ordinary, I found myself loving it. Tag(s): Leathery violet, powdery, paper, charred woods, unusual

A lovely surprise! This reminds me heavily of fabuloso fabric softener. To my nose it's very floral and powdery, iris and violet and lavender forefront. Fresh, clean, and vibrant purple. Cushioned by whiffs of suede and amber. This is spring rain and cool cotton sheets, strong and sweet yet remains soft and unobtrusive. I put some lavender oil on top of it to keep it grounded and found that quite pleasant. Its youthful and leans on the feminine yet could be worn by all kinds of folk. Such a pleasant and comforting scent perfect for a sunny morning at the farmers market.
