Linfedele Haiku

This is a soft resinous somewhat medicinal calming scent on me. The resins remind me more of turpentine than pine. Underneath I can detect a rather pungent accord but wasn't able to pick out the individual notes myself. It does make me think of Oriental understated opulence. I love the way it smells with fresh scent from the movement of my body and clothes. I find this a fascinating perfume, and love wearing it. Although it stays close to the skin, longevity about 4 - 5 hrs. for me. Not only is it unusual, Haiku is lovely and elegant in a clean, sparse way. Update - let a friend wear this out one night, and the smell coming off his body and clothes was amazing. He got compliments all night for it.

I agree, by and large with Colin M's review below. This one thrives on contrasting notes, exuding the usual O'Driu's herbalist tincture smell, with a contrasting resinous/petroleum tonality. It is original and very interesting, the kind of fragrance I would rush out and buy. I just wish it was a little bit stronger and longer lasting. All in all, I still can't make up my mind whether this goes on to my wish list/shopping list or not.

I agree with Colin Maillard's and miracleborgtech's reviews. I love Linfedele Haiku. It's luxurious and elegant, deliciously appealing. And it smells so good on my husband. Mmmm....gorgeous. It is pungent, and opulent, and delicious. And I get many many compliments, and so does he. It's brilliant.

mad angelo at the top of his game. complex, balanced, rich, veering on the oriental without loosing its boozy herbal aromatic identity. love it!

All the ingredients here work well together to create a big old mess! Just down right nasty.. and not in a good way. All I smell is old stuff, not old-fashion - just plain old. Old books, old boxes, old furniture, old animals. But if you are into that kinda smells - might be perfect for you! I strongly doubt it thought. It looks like Colin Maillard below and I are on different planets on this one.
