Emir Frenetic Delicieuse

Paris Corner's Emir Frenetic Delicieuse...Let me tell you about it... First, this was a blind buy...intentioned to be a stocking stuffer for myself but I was intrigued and I couldn't wait so I decided to wear it to work today. But before I left the house, I did my usual four sprays and from the very first spray I was like: Wow, this is intriguing... Spicey, Woody, Floral...I really like this... So I headed downstairs and to my home office, then back upstairs when I came across my son in kitchen and he said: Dad, is that you? I said: What's me? He said: That smell. I LOVE IT...what is it? I said: A new fragrance I got...a blind buy...I actually really like it! He said: Can I try it on? I said: Absolutely, I'm heading to work. About an hour later, my son texts me: The opening was spicy and woody but now its like a spicy baby powder. I smell my shirt and I smile: He's right! BABY POWDER! I LOVE IT EVEN MORE! I LOVE SMELLING FRESH LIKE BABY POWDER! But this is NOT JUST baby powder...this isn't Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder... Its an upgrade from plain baby powder. Yes you smell FRESH, CLEAN, with a slight hint of spice. So its about this time, I am head out to the restaurant where I am meeting my team for our holiday lunch and when I get there...a woman from my team walks up to me as I am waiting to be seated and says: Wow, something smells good! I said: Well this is a Vegan restaurant so it should smell good. She said: It's not the food, its you! Fresh, clean...like a certain smell that I can't figure out... I said: Baby Powder with a hint of spice? She said: YES! I LOVE BABY POWDER! I said: I do too...and it has a nice spice to it too... Just then a few others from my team showed up and one of the ladies said: Wow it smells nice in here!... So if you like a CLEAN, FRESH, with a HINT of SPICE (Woody and Floral) fragrance...You can't go wrong... The value is great and it garners compliments and its 1:30am as I type this and I can still smell it on me...Well Done!

Emir Frenetic Delicieuse While often categorized by its sweetness, Frenetic Delicieuse is, at its core, a complex aromatic-amber fragrance. It opens with lavender and cool mint, providing an herbal edge that feels refined and bracing. This freshness transitions into a dark, slightly sweet cherry note that avoids the "syrup" trap, instead it acts as a bridge to a soft leather accord that follows. The true character of the scent lies in the dry down. Rather than a simple candy-sweet finish which lovers of gourmand are drawn to, the sandalwood and tonka provide a dense, milky woodiness that feels structural and smooth. The beautiful vanilla and amber soften the edges of the leather and woods, creating a warm, skin-hugging resonance that feels more like a luxury interior or a fine cherry tobacco filled humidor rather than a bakery. It is an elegant, multifaceted wear for those who appreciate herbal textures, woody depth and subtlety in sweetness. • Longevity is 8+ hours nicely sprayed. • Sillage: Moderate • Key Vibes: Herbal, Leathery, Resinous, dark cherry and a soft talc essence to it. • It shines in cooler weather. A fabulous replacement for Dior’s discontinued Feve Delicieuse.

Okay guys, this one needs to be sprayed out and left to sit for at LEAST 3 months, possibly even 6. I'm on month 3 currently! Get it now in summer so it's perfect for winter. At first spray out of the box, you'll be smelling like a freshly powdered babies bum and you'll hate it! Put it in jail and the powder up top will slowly start to disappear, giving way for the gorgeous sour cherry notes to shine through. Yes, theres still a prominent baby-esque lavender note but it feels more aromatic and balanced as it ages. I used to love Dior Feve Delicieuse, and have had many samples... but it's been a good few years since I got my nose on it (sadly now discontinued!). I can't quite give an accurate side by side, but I do remember it was a polarising fragrance to begin with. It was a bit much of everything, which I loved! I remember it having a more prominent bitter almond-y note than Frenetic Delicieuse and the tonka was richer and less airy. The powder was more dry powdery, like vintage makeup... whereas this is more powdery in scent rather than texture. Only time will tell if my bottle ages and relaxes into it's full tonka glory... i'll report back with a full update!

Wow! What a Fall beauty. Supposedly Emir Frenetic Delicieuse is the same DNA as Fève Délicieuse by Dior. It’s absolutely elegant with rich color and the bottle is perfection! Soft lavender & mint at the top with Bergamot peeking from behind. The sour cherry is cheerful and the mid florals are MIA to my nose so far. Tonka is magnificent embracing the cedar, vanilla, sandalwood and Benzoin. The leather makes a gentle appearance at the bottom not outdoing its predecessors. It’s very subtly sweet, perhaps from the caramel I’m not sure. I don’t care for gourmands and this to me is not that genre. Overall a great purchase I will definitely put to good use this Fall & Holiday season.

Finally they listed it here!! 😍 This one is fantastic if you like the scent profile, really similar to the old formulation of the Dior that inspired it (but is now discontinued). It opens minty and sweet and sour, then you quickly pick up the leather, cedar, cacao and the sandalwood (at least to my nose). And after the beautiful mix of benzoin, praline and caramel... It’s very rounded and beautifully blended, but you do have to let it sit for a couple of weeks to start smelling everything. The bottle is gorgeous in my opinion. I love it!!! (Oh and for that price... just get it really 🥰)
