Close Your Eyes, And... /Bois de Gaiac et Poire

Very creamy and lightly sweet, on me it is not soapy at all but powdery in the most gentle way. I don't smell a proper lipstick accord, it is more similar to a luxurious body cream smell then makeup. The freshness of the opening makes the blend of jasmine, rose and fruits smell very eatherial, then it gets more creamy, and the woody undertone is very milky. Heliotrope, almond and cinnamon give a light sweetness and they are blended to perfection with the floral notes (don't expect the classic marzipan like heliotrope, nothing intense), so the fragrance smells clean (not soapy), sweet, powdery and floral at the same time. I like it a lot, so much so that I could consider buying a bottle. It is vaguely a fragrance that I would put in to the "doll heads" category, and the way the rose note is manged here reminds me of another beautiful rose+wood fragrance which has the same emagical feel to it, Scandalwood by Heretic. Edit: the way the rose note evolves in the dry down is reminiscent of not only Scandalwood but also Shabby Chic by Giardini d Toscana. Don't be fooled by the accords listed, this is a type of rose worked in a modern way, very creamy, very clean and powdery but also fresh and crunchy in texture, it is not an old fashioned soapy/powder/lipsticky rose, I can surely say this is a lactonic rose. If you are instead looking for an old fashioned soapy and powdery rose with a lipstick feel and a sweet undercurrent then Boudoir Belle by Philly&Phill totally fits the criterions.

This is my first Miller et Bertaux, although the brand has been on my radar for years. Strangely, "Close your eyes and..." reminds me of a quieter, drier Volutes by Diptyque (eau de toilette), but with roses. There's little if any note overlap, but the same qualities I love about the one are also present in the other. Notes-wise, I mostly smell a lighter-colored, fruity, rose against a powdery, almost chalky, backdrop with a bare hint of spices, perhaps cinnamon and maybe cumin (not skanky, just slightly earthy). Other commenters mention incense and I think they are correct. I don't really detect guaiac wood, although it could be coming across as incense to me. Nor do I detect pear, almond, heliotrope, or any specific florals. The sillage is but a whisper. The longevity isn't great, either. But, I made a lowball offer to an ebay seller and got 100ml for $30US. So I don't mind overspraying several times a day. I seriously doubt that I could get "Close your eyes and..." for this good of a deal again, so I would probably never repurchase. But, I have very much been enjoying it for the past few weeks. Hope it lasts til winter, because I think it would shine more in the cooler and colder months.

Very sweet, but very mellow and gentle. Feels very natural, as all of the fragrances I've tried from this house. You can feel the wood, the almond and the pear, and they create a combination which is beautiful yet not at all fresh. A comforting scent that makes me want to cuddle :) longevity is good, sillage no too overpowering.

simply wonderfull....a cascade of rose essence in a lake of pear....no more

Hi frag fam I got 2 sample of this brand which one of them is this. Honestly talking, this is tooo faminine who old is above 30+ Mature and strong woman. When you spary it on your skin firstly its not at all unique although its like cheap sweet faminine fragrance but after 5 minutes it changed very nice and creamy and soft rose note comes and every second goes off its gonna be better and nice. After about 40 minuets you smell pear and vanilla and little almond too but the rose is still here too Wow so nice , i can smell some woods in the background too but so little (This is sweet fragrance base on roses) Very good balance and performance and so nice on women skin I love to smell it on women.
