L'Eau de Circe 05

This is a delicious and tenacious scent that wears like silk. It opens with a whiff of fresh peach that has been dusted with brown sugar and then gently baked until the juices run clear, followed by a greenish-rosy bouquet of flowers, and then it dries to a vaguely piquant, caramel-like finish. Unusual and unusually pretty!

Do not overspray! Sorceress' potion should work in small dosis. Fruity-flowery lactonic sweetness, intoxicating, happy. Longlasting, great projection. Lovely fragrance!

terrific fragrance, for those who dont fear strong scents, obsessional and facsinating like the sorceress circé

From PG website: "floral blend of absolute of Damask Rose, Jasmine, Osmanthus, Orchid, Ylang-ylang, White Peach leaves and Tangerine. Sensual and scheming with Patchouli, Wood and Amber, the warm, caressing Honey Balm brings light and delicate sweetness to the scent. Plum, Osmenthus, Sandalwood, Rose, Honey." Description is kinda all over the place. Plum appears out of nowhere. White Peach Leaves, not the peach itself. And amber is briefly mentioned, even though to my nose this is primarily an amber perfume, or rather fruity amber. Despite all those flowers the predominant notes are tangerine and osmanthus, and the base is amber and patch. This is very close to 'Que sais-je'. Despite the confusion, it is a wonderful composition with longevity round the 6 hour mark and moderate sillage. It starts off very fresh (you could be fooled into thinking this is a summer frag), but develops into a spicy amber one.

This one agrees very much with me once I get past the initial fruity opening. I swear there is plum or something in it even though it's not listed on the notes here! At least that's what I smell at first... In any case, the dry down is very lovely on me with the honey and patchouli. I don't get anything synthetic or unpleasant from this one at all, amazing what different skin chemistries can bring out! I feel when I wear L'Eau de Circe that it was made for me. It is indeed very special. I have slightly odd skin chemistry and some things don't work on my skin but this one is a gem. I agree with other reviewers who described this as being a little like silk or satin. Thank you very much Parfumerie Generale! This is one fragrance I will be wearing very much in the spring and summer months.
