Dzhari

Dzhari opens up so boozy, like when you stick your nose to the opened neck of a very sweet Spanish wine, intoxicated just from the smell itself. Then dates coming out with their lush, honeyed texture. Within 15 minutues all this sweetness is absorbed by velvety woodiness, at that stage it reminds me of much loved Indochine. Dzhari is very warm, very moreish, very exotic, it smells indeed like bright-orange-yellow colours of Sahara desert. It is very long-lasting on me, I keep smelling it for the entire day and it is just joy to wear. Love.

It's a shame , as soon as i bought and fell in love with this it is discontinued. You get a rustic spanish wine and a unique red clay terrocotta vibe. There is a unique warmth here that is hard to describe and i find this addictive. Sweet enough for compliments and many modern noses, but something truly different and creative. It's a shame this had to go performance - 7 hours compliments yes seductive yes i would pay more than 150 usd for this

205) Destin volé Mon commentaire sera encore le même que pour 80% des créations de Pierre Guillaume. Moi même je commence a me lasser d'écrire la même chose. Original les premières minutes et puis il aurait franchement pu mieux faire, la composition ne semble pas aboutie et ne débouche sur rien, bref c'est baclé. Ensuite la tenue est trop faible et le parfum ne dure que deux ou trois heures maximum. Il s'ouvre sur oriental-boisé à la Lutens, une sorte d'Arabie mais dégoulinant de sirop de dattes. En coeur c'est l'ennui, du sirop trop présent on passe à la fève tonka, le santal et le cashmeran. C'est notes sont trop proches les unes des autres pour se différencier, on obtient juste l'odeur d'un truc chaud-doux qui s'étiole. Il aurait du être un très bon parfum, il ne le sera pas. stolen destiny My comment is still the same as for 80% of the creations of Pierre Guillaume. I myself started to get tired of writing the same thing. Original the first few minutes and then he would frankly have done better, the composition does not seem to be accomplished and does not lead to anything, in short it is sloppy. Secondly the sillage is too low and the scent lasts only two or three hours maximum. It opens on a Lutens like oriental-woody, a kind of Arabie dripping down of dates syrup. In heart it's boredom, from too present syrup we pass to tonka bean, sandalwood and cashmeran. It's notes are too close to each other to differentiate themselves, you just get the smell of a hot-sweet stuff that fading. It should have been a very good perfume, it will not.

Opens with an "in your face" scent of earth and soil, it is mixed with this extremely sweet scent of dates, at this point I'm simply loving it. Dates makes this very sensual and the earthiness of this makes this very raw and sexy. And also unique as this combo for my nose is something new. Might work very well on males also even though this is very sweet. The heart does not deliver anything new, still dates dominate this scent, funny enough - I do not get much tonka bean, just a slight bit of background powderness. The soil note has settles to being just a background also and this for me is just a dates solo 15 minutes from applying. I though enjoy this very much, my partner on the other hand sniffed me and in disgust said "this is not perfume, this is some kind of gross stuff", but well - he is not well known for his taste in fine perfumery. At the base and drydown I finally get some tonka bean, added just to be noticeable, but not to overpower the scent. Dates have calmed down as well and the drydown is like a warm blanket. I do like this, but the scent for me lacks complexity. As it is mostly dominated by dates I must admit that I've seen better. Nevertheless - it was a joy trying this.

Lush and boozy and sweet and gorgeous: a delicious coupe of the most upmarket rum 'n raisin ice cream imaginable in any cosmos, with earthier notes adding plenty of extra interest and character. Not at all synthetic-seeming or chemical-yucky, but overall it's several notches too sweet to win me over 100%. The malaga-wine alcoholic tang is unmistakable (and rather overwhelms the relatively retiring date) so watch out if it's a deal breaker for you. Somehow it's not sticky or jammy, but to me (usually gourmand-sceptical if not gourmand-averse) it's a slightly overpowering dessert cloud, of the classiest possible kind, done wonderfully, but not quite my thing. But if you crave for grapes, dates or rum - or thirst for the most natural-seeming, deeply flavoured, really yummy treatment of these notes in fragrance form- you should definitely seek out and try this. Not my personal taste but undeniably toothsome.
