Eau de Cythere

When I went to the shop at the side of Places des Vosges in Paris, the perfumer and the owner Mr. Christian Louis himself was there, and he suggested two perfumes immediately. It was really surprising and interesting experience. He told me that I would not a type of woman who wear a sexy dress to seduce men. Rather, calm and pensive, yet keep strong belief inside the mind ... so that Cythère is good for me, he said. That's true that I don't have any sexy dresses but not so intelligent as he thought. Well I'd like to be so! Cythère starts strong spicy notes with pepper and nutmeg. That spiciness merges into woody aromatic flowery note with clary sage and rosewood (not rose) .. and slowly calm down into oak moss. Yes, it's spicy woody aromatic chypre! This peppery bitterness is not too boozy nor too masculine, but I prefer adding a little bit of sweetness like layering a soliflore perfume or oud attars on it, for example. I love this maison of perfumes. Highly recommend visiting this shop, and you would be very lucky if Christian was there!
