Sexual

This is the first fragrance with a vanilla note that I can wear without a raging headache. And the best part? It's a man-magnet. My SO turns into an animal when I wear this, however I don't think he's even aware that it's the perfume. NOTE: This should be called 'Softly Sensual'. If you're expecting a powerful, bold, spicy, vanilla scent then you'll be disappointed. It opens as a soft, warm floral with osmanthus and honeysuckle, then a slight hint of feminine gardenia and ethereal water lily. The drydown is where the magic happens. Warm, slightly smoky, gorgeous myrrh, cinnamon and madagascar vanilla mixing with neroli and making the osmanthus even more pronounced and warmly sensual. Then the sandalwood creates a burst of warm, resiny comfort. There's something else in the drydown too, some irresistible animalistic note. This beautifully blended juice is an aphrodisiac and aromatherapy all in one. All of the Sexual flankers are lovely, but this original is spectacular. It stays close to the skin, not much sillage, keeping it's mystery. Staying power is fairly good. This was an instant 'signature' fragrance for me. Edited to add: A note about dabbing versus spraying - spraying brings out the vanilla *slightly*. If you prefer little or no vanilla, dabbing is perfect. Dabbing also creates more lasting power with this fragrance. Also, I suspect this might get discontinued soon. It's no longer available in the larger size, and the body lotion and shower gel are no longer sold at The Bay (Canadian department store), although they're still on michelgermain.com From their website: TOP Japanese Osmanthus South African Freesia Italian Bergamot Italian Clementine MIDDLE Egyptian Jasmine Nerola Neroli Asian Gardenia Bulgarian Red Rose HEART Sri Lankan Cinnamon Mediterranean Myrrh Indian Sandalwood Madagascar Vanilla Considered a floriental.

I never ever thought I would own something named "Sexual". I avoid those kinds of perfumes like a plague...just find those names sort of slutty. But, actually, I had to return to the store several days later to get this beauty. There is something so alluring and, yes, sexy, about it. I think a lot of people get disappointed because they expect something dark, mysterious, or spicy, or bold floral. I find this scent sexy in a flirty, playful kind of way, but at the same time mature and elegant, and not girly. Something that could be worn in spring or summer, with bright-colored clothes and high heels. The citrusy note lasts only for a few minutes, and the "sexual" part comes out in about 5-10 minutes, when it warms up and becomes completely floral. Very beautiful. After a while i see some similarity with Cristobal on my skin. Even though it is a softer floral fragrance, I would not call shy. It has excellent sillage and will get you noticed for sure. My second perfume from Michel Germain, and I am really amazed by the quality. Definitely a keeper for me. I just have to keep its name a secret if asked what I'm wearing. All I have to add a few hours later is that it ios very long lasting and expensive smelling!

Opens up with lots of creamy flower and citrus, with a hint of woodsy smell. Not heavy or suffocating; projected more air of flirt and confidence than sexuality. I first wear this on the winter, and I think because of the heated office, it projected really wide (2 sprays, and my friend whose desk is about 6 feet from mine commented she can smell it!! Thank God she wasn't bother by it^^'). Having experienced that, I try it in the summer, but somehow does not smell as good as it was in the (in door) winter. In the summer the flower got harsh. I received lots of compliment (male and female) wearing this, actually this is the perfume that landed me most compliment. Staying power: very good, I can still get a whiff of it at night. So, comparing performance (on my skin) and price ($15 for a 75 ml bottle from discount store), I am really really happy with Sexual.

Calming and soothing, comforting and detoxicating. Not really sexual. Sexual is a lovely creation but in my opinion aimed at calming senses down rather than arousing. The most prominent are myrrh, neroli and a hint of apricot. Lovely mixture, but the name is very misleading. Sexual is a great inoffensive office fragrance and a great one when visiting family or going shopping with a friend on Saturday morning. If worn in intimate situations - it would be most likely to have a ''Horlicks'' effect. (Horlicks is a well known British make of a drink that helps to fall asleep) I am far from saying, however, that it is boring; it is not but it will not turn you on, it will not boost your sexual apetite. It will calm you down afterwards, if anything :-) Worth trying if L'Instant De Guerlain appeals to you.

I agree this smells very similar to CK Eternity. I bought it unsniffed. I happened to have Eternity on the same day I bought this. I got into the car and sprayed it right away. I kept smelling the spot I sprayed it and thinking that I was smelling the Eternity I put on earlier as it smelled the same. Then I realized that wow, it was the same scent. Sexual smells a bit more sophisticated and rich. Lasting power is average. I like this alot and would buy it again.
