Private Collection Psychotrope

I only wear it with black, elegant and simple dresses, high heels, black leather and rouge noir lipstick. it is cruel and seducing, elegant but loud, simple, familiar and confusing, arrogant but inviting, quite a mess and tidy at the same time. it's the ambivalence that makes it so attractive, decent cyclamen on the wayside combined with the sleek, soft leather of black overknee-boots and the whip that hits. perfect for all part-time dominas with style;-)

Buttery soft leather handbag with a lilac powder scented hankie tucked inside. So unique I had to keep sniffing. Like a sweet green leaf, a waterlily perhaps. So different, yet familiar.The memory of it tickles the back of my mind: I have smelled this scent before but can't place it. My mind is abuzz. Is it the cyclamen? Sweet green floral. A beautiful boquet of cyclamen, lilac and violets. Fresh picked and warm from the sun. Heavenly.

I have 3 words for this fragrance: unique, unexpected, creative. It does have a psychotrope effect ...it blows my mind. It takes me to a different level of excitement. As creation, this is innovative: just leather and flowers ...harmoniously together? Unheard! I might not be able to wear it but i would love having a bottle just for my personal pleasure. This is something I could call art and enjoy humbled. Regarding the notes: Jasmine poupre, cyclamen, lilac wood, violet, musk and black leather. Not very complex but it has a great balance. The leather is the main player, of course. The musk and the lilac wood are intimately welded to it, bringing something special to such a well known note. The floral notes are hard to define in the opening, but they become more evident in the dry down, especially the violets. The jasmine has strength and stands up near the leather greatly and comes across more like a creamy white flower. Gorgeous dry down: soapy (just a hint of violets), creamy, musky, leathery. It feels like a pair of beautiful leather gloves you don't want to take off.... Dreamy. Perfectly said Mr. Guillaume: ' a jasmine with leather petals". 8.6/10 PS After 4 hours I can say without doubts this is the most sensual leather I have ever smelled.

The most interesting PG scent I've tried so far and feel is original enough for a full bottle purchase. Usually I can make up my mind pretty fast about whether a scent is for buying or not but in this case, I can't quite decide if I like it enough yet. If this were a colour it would be a jet black. The leather is very prominent here and with it comes an almost astringent quality. The other notes are muted to my nose and it stays a very clean scent. Sillage is close to the body for me and longevity is good, about 8 hours and although faint, still present. For me, I find it unique and intriguing, no frills, no fuss or muss in this one. I won't recommend this as a gift unless the recipient adores "different" scents and I won't recommend blind buying this for sure. But definitely worth sampling.

Starts out airy, watery, green and soft, with lots of aquatic/ozone/calone/cyclamen aldehyde notes, reminding me of a tulip, or the cut stems of iris and daffodils on a cool morning, things that are mostly green and dripping full of sap. Over time the cyclamen blooms, creating a shimmering transparent floral mist. The other flowers stay far in the background, creating an almost imperceptible curtain against which the cyclamen and wet green stems do their thing. I really don’t smell much, if any of the leather that’s supposed to be present. The scent is pretty much linear with moderate sillage, and lasts about 5-6 hours. I generally don’t like aquatic scents, but if I had to have a wearable one in my rotation, Psychotrope would fill the bill.
