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 🥰)

Dior Fève Délicieuse! This is 95% percent there. Dior Fève Délicieuse has a stronger cherry note on the opening which some may like or dislike more. Also it has a little better longevity on the skin. But other than that. On the dry down. I can not tell them apart. The quality, blend etc..... They smell identical. Considering price. Emir Frenetic Delicieuse is bang on! Amazing stuff for the price. If you like the original. Get this. Get yourself 2, 3, 4 bottles and just do a little extra sprays. This stuff lasts on clothes. Absolutely amazing how close this is.

This is crazy how close this is to Fève Délicieuse (including the powdery nuance people are talking about in the below comments) from the opening to the dry down. You will need a few extra sprays to have a really good performance but for the price this is insane. If Paris Corner could also provide us with a Mitzah, Vetiver and Patchouli Impérial...

I've had this a few years now and honestly if you didn't know this perfume was a cheapie you would think it was made by gurlian, It smells very similar to Mon gurlian intense with a touch more fruit, probably from the sour cherry. I love it. Very good buy at a very affordable price.

I get zero cherry or leather. It mostly smells like lavender baby bath products and I love that scent. In the heat, it reminds me of baby oil, like how people used to slather themselves in it for tanning. Layers beautifully with Dossier Carmelized Lavender & Hazelnut.

It is a great dupe!! I’m so glad. I got it in the mail today, and yes, tested side by side with the OG decant. At first spray, it was different but after a minute on my skin? Same. Like I could not distinguish any difference between them. Very nice!!

First impression spraying this scent on paper: Yikes! 😫 Second impression spraying it on the back of my hand: Hmm... intriguing. The Sour Cherry smelled almost like pee on paper, but smells like (you guessed it) sour cherry on my skin. A very sweet scent to my nose, a liiiitle bit spicy as well, but all in all very! sweet for a good, long while. I get the leather in the base, and it adds some animalistic sexiness. I can see myself enjoying in cooler weather. I do get the powder as well, a-a-a-all the way down at the bottom of the scent pyramid, and I actually like it. A powder mainly mixed with, to my nose, cherry and caramel. I suspect this will perform like a beast once it has had time to maturate. One spray from a new bottle and I can smell it on my hand even when it isn't near my nose. I can picture a man wearing this, but to me it leans feminine because of the insisting sweetness. P.S. Layering this one with Angham Second song makes a great match, I think

When I received the bottle, I was already wearing another fragrance. So I sprayed two sprays on the box, and immediately I was WOWED! It smelled so amazing to me. When I left the room and returned, it was projecting so nicely in my living room. I believed then it was going to be absolutely amazing and I was going to love it. Then I read the reviews and... oh my god, you’re all right, this does smell like baby powder. When I sprayed it on my skin, the initial spray, the opening, is much more complex and you get all of the different notes working together beautifully. But it does dry down to a very baby powder kind of scent. Which is kind of disappointing. I enjoy the smell, but I can imagine that people smelling it on you would be weirded out by that. I like it, but it doesn’t hit like I initially thought it did. It's an amazing performer, though: good projection and very long lasting.

To my nose it's pleasantly smooth, powdery, sweet and well blended, the best baby powder fragrance I've ever smell in a good way. Suitable for all age, perfectly unisex. IMO, If you want to smell like after shower clean scent or smell like a clean skin or smell like you didn't put on perfume but smell clean and pleasant, this is the best one. I've smell many musky powdery clean dove soap bar fragrance but I don't like any of them. this is the most realistic and very good one.

Very sweet and minty but fleeting beginning, somewhat herby. After a few minutes it transforms into a beautifully delicious scent that reminds me of my favourite childhood cereal - cinnamon flavoured stars. Cinnamon isn't listed in the notes, so I think it's more of a personal connection. I get some cherry, a lot of sweet vanilla, and unfortunately none of the white flowers. Very warm and delicious, with a soft spice facet.

This is a lovely gourmand scent, and I spray it in my sheets to give it a sweet and comforting ambience, like a warm hug from my beloved. The (lack of) longevity does lets it down a bit. For me, it was a safe blind buy.

Finally it’s on here!!! Sheesh!! I’ve had it about 4 months! Still working on getting familiarized with this one. I have never been able to look up the notes so before i even look at them now ill say how it smelled to me It’s similar to rifaqqat, the Paris corner dupe for ysl babycat, but with a sort of clean baby powder in the opening. The dry down though feels very similar. This is a dry, powdery, resinous, spicy, herbal heavy scent that seems more appropriate for the fall and winter season! Can totally be unisex, right in the middle. Not feminine or masculine! Edited to add. It’s been months and o still get mainly baby powder and a dry resinous scent. I don’t get any sweetness or vanilla so not sure what’s going on. I haven’t wanted to wear it yet. Really hope one day i try it and get something different

Beast mode baby powder. I've had this for about a week, and so far it is just straight-up J&J baby powder on a suffocating level. I'm going to let it sit for a while and revisit. For now, I can only see myself giving my sheets a spritz as a comforting bedtime scent. I have never smelled the OG to be able to compare, so I am just judging this for what it is on its own. If the scent does not change, I will either have to find something to layer it with to give it depth or declutter it. On a positive note, the bottle is high quality, heavy glass.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my bottle. All i get is baby powder. A chemical almost like the smell of a brand new baby diaper. I’ve had it for over 6 months, sprayed it several times and have it sitting for months! The notes sound like it should smell like a baby cat type of scent with a cherry vibe, i feel like something must be wrong with this bottle and it’s so upsetting bc the notes sound so amazing but i swear it’s just sour baby powder. Nothing sweet at all. Just a strange chemical powdery smell.

Don't get fooled by the notes this fragrance has, you may think it might be a very minty sweet and musky one but it is NOT THAT. Bought it like 4 months ago and was extremely unsatisfied, I put it in for maceration but still the same almost expired talcum powder smell. Definitely NOT a safe blind buy for many, I suggest go to market and smell it there or buy a tester... Really an Awful Blind buy :(

I’ve had this bottle for at least 5 months. Why do I only smell baby powder. Where’s the sweetness? I don’t know what’s wrong.

This is not a safe blind buy. When I read the notes I thought that this scent will be right up my alley. Once I have received it, I sprayed it on myself and it smells like straight up baby powder, I thought how is this possible? I though it would be fruity, floral, vanilla and deep but I cannot get the scent out of my mind. I cannot breakdown the notes through my nose of any sour cherry or bergamot and the dry down is still very baby powder like nothing sweet or caramel or vanilla. This was a regretful purchase for me however if you like smelling like a fresh clean baby this is for you. I will also note that this scent is beast mode, projection is excellent and for me I was able to smell it on myself after 6 hours, still had a bit of a scent bubble. I have left it to macerate hopefully in a few weeks time it will improve for me - otherwise not a safe blind buy and if you like beast mode baby powder - this is the one.

I held onto this one for a year, and it smells like a toilet bowl cake. It’s so bad imo. I can do powder fragrances, but this smells like a super cheap dollar-store style synthetic fragrance. I didn’t even give this away to family or friends because i hope to never smell this again.

L O U D screechy green aromatic medicinal lavender insecticide+synthetic cherry cough syrup with diabetes inducing praline sweetness and synthetic sandalwood drydown at the base. Lasts forever and projects like madness. Do not blind buy!!

Screechiest sharp lavender from cleaning chemical extremely synthetic notes. Do not blind buy. Maceration intensifies the bad notes.

Absolutely Awful! Does not have any vanilla smell, not sweet at all, smells like a bag of baby products. Do Not Buy.

Just smells like baby powder to me. It’s the only fragrance in my collection that I won’t wear.

My daughter says it smells like Desitin diaper rash ointment and chemical baby wipes. She’s not wrong unfortunately. I did get chemical lavender herbs and baby powder at first. Then I got cherry lavender herbs and powder and I was good with that until my family said to not wear this ever again. My husband couldn’t be near me lol. But now after about 3 years with this it’s herbal baby wipes/ powder. If you want to be left alone .... wear this. And even then I don’t think it’s horrible. I just don’t want to smell like a diaper bag full of herbal baby wipes.

I wanted to get the cheapie version of Fève Delicieuse. I never smelled the original perfume but on paper sounded good to me. First time I sprayed my bottle I knew it was familiar from somewhere. Didn’t have to think for long to figure out that this smells like a can of JD Coke. Whoever said this fragrance reminds them of Mon Guerlain Intense was also right. I’ll see how the maceration goes. I only paid £20 for this bottle so I’m not at all mad, although I wouldn’t be as happy if I had paid £30 for it.

wow, another one that I couldn't understand what the heck people were going on about, did NOT smell good when I got it. Listening to CeeChronicles talking about it today, she highly recommends it, I go back in to smell it and it is absolutely lovely today, like, beautiful. Went from a 1 or a 2 to a 9 in about 8 months or so.... These ME perfumes might be inexpensive but a lot of them need quite a bit of time out, they do totally change. Some are great right out of the box, lots are not....

Heavy sweet powdery strong syrupy projecting scent. It’s like a thick syrupy powdery version of Tonka cola to me. Think it may perform better than that. This is a beast. Performs very good. And it’s cheap. Even has a magnetic cap 😂. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Not even mine. But can’t deny the quality here. May be slightly screechy , or that could just be me. But a bargain nonetheless the less. And I’m sure many will be glad to have this discontinued DNA back in the house again. 😁✌🏾

Do not be fooled by the notes I dunno what is wrong with this one. I always enjoy powdery notes so the reviews led me to believe I would like this. Just as the reviews below say, it smells like straight up baby powder and diapers like a mother’s carry bag after they have a baby. Made my girlfriend smell it and she said the same thing. I don’t even want to layer the decant bottle with other stuff not to waste the money spent on it.

I was looking for a replacement for Feve Delicieuse, which was discontinued. I ordered this fragrance without testing it first. The lavender and mint in the opening are so heavy and dominate the further development of the fragrance, the gourmand notes are barely noticeable. This fragrance is too masculine leaning and nothing like the Feve Delicieuse I remember. This is a pass for me. NOT A SAFE BLIND BUY.

I can smell the lack of quality ingredients in this one off the rip. Does it scratch the itch for the discontinued Dior???? KINDA! Every time I wear this I get compliments. That is probably one of the things I hate the most lol. I have A LOT of expensive frags and I ALWAYS get compliments from the cheap designers and clones 😂 Absolutely ironic 🤌👹

Smells exactly like original Jergens lotion with the cherry almond scent. The added spice make it lean more masculine, which may explain why some women may not like it for themselves. More of a fall and winter scent. Recommended, in my opinion, especially at a price point of around $25-35 USD.
