Bis

It's a little like L'Heure Bleu meets Betty Friedan. The depth, sensitivity, and formal seriousness of L'Heure Bleu blends with the teetering, fiery outspokenness of over-educated housewives of the 1950s whose parties you would definitely want to go to. Quite unique as a mood. As a smell, it's beautiful, natural, and also slightly too provocative at times? But that's why I like it. Later: Bis is such a human perfume, and so very sweet. Not dessert sweet, but skin sweet, mother sweet. At times the dry-down gives caramel! 9/20/25: longing for something yet undefined, or like missing someone you haven’t met yet. Mother and child who are as one but feel the separation already

This scent is fabulous! It is classic and yet so current. I believe this is not only do to the notes, but to its exquisite blending. It truly conjures up the beauty of perfumes of the past without being derivative or "retro". For me it is luxe lipstick, smart pocket books and chiffon scarves. It morphs as the day progresses and I have noticed the lavender makes an appearance when my temper gets piqued. Perfect! It is now my favorite and I find myself clearing out my "also rans". Finding Rodin has been an exciting relief.

For me, Bis is all about the anise, violet/lavender, ambergris and musk. It's a little weird but plenty wonderful, opening with an almost savoury bent but drying down to a beautiful, softly aromatic and gently sweetened floral musk. I've had my bottle since August 2021 and have worn it many times. It's a unique fragrance and prized in my collection.

I love this quirky gem. It's character changes each time I wear it. I adore the anise-lavender-jasmine richness. Bergamot brightens it all up. If you like unique anise/lavender scents, this is for you. Bis rates high on my all-time cherished perfumes and shall remain there.

Strangely addictive. Ambergris + aromatics. Can smell somewhat like an indian grocery store, lol. Another interesting recommendation from Dana a_nose_knows.
