She Shihan (She Sensei)

I got a sample of this as a gift with my order of other samples. Before that, I didn't know this fragrance existed, which is a shame, it's so lovely! It's more feminine than I would have expected from the top voted notes. She Shihan opens up with juicy plum, coffee, dark chocolate and a dash of whiskey. Then it developes to a rose, vanilla and tobacco scent. The rose is the most dominant note on my skin. It's rather clean, but the other notes keep it from becomming soapy and old-fashioned, especially the plum stays around to give the rose a juicy edge. The fragrances becomes warmer and more vanillic and balsamic over the time. It's a slightly sweet floriental scent with gourmand aspects and a balmy-creamy feel. Soft, but not weak at all, very feminine, but not girly. Complex due to the contrasting notes and the way it changes on my skin. Unique. I like this a lot and I'm glad I got the chance to discover it!

Sweet. Smooth. Smokey. Plummy and vanillary. Divine. Really comforting and a bit gourmand scent. Must have for Vanllie Insensée and old Opium limited editions fans.

Can somebody please explain the 2 types of perfume in the bottle? EDP and EXT DP. Do you wear them separately or together?

Certainly embodying the sweetness and sheer power of the original, Piotr Czarnecki She Shihan (formerly Sensei) has many of the same characteristic gourmand notes--whiskey and coffee come to mind, in particular--but with a couple of key twists that do foster somewhat of a feminine-leaning variance from the original. Violet, for me, is most prominent in She Shihan, and next after that is plum, and beyond that, it's a melange of mostly sweet/gourmand notes but a couple others as well, including whiskey, coffee, chocolate, vanilla and incense. It feels mostly like the original Shihan/Sensei EDP with a heavy addition of violet and light addition of plum, giving it a more feminine vibe overall but while remaining unisex enough that men will like it as well, especially men that both like violet and gourmands. Like the original / men's, She Shihan performs exceptionally as well both in terms of projection and longevity, so the $160 for 100ml EDP pricing is great if you like the scent. 7 out of 10

A carnaval! This is just incredibly amusing! The best thing is here is that the roses are neither Turkish nor Bulgarian so it won't bother the sweetness of the plums and won't overly cover the coffee note. The vanilla is embodied within the whisky but the roses are just sharp! i don't want to say that it's too sharp cause if it wasn't on this dose the vanilla whisky would have ruined it being cloying. As it cools down, the myrrh, labdanum, & the musk mellow rises as a pleasant spicy mix while the sharp roses stays at the back with hazes of plum, & coffee. This blend is just amusing to the bone! & no it doesn't smell like Shihan. Impressive.
