Debonair

I'm surprised how much I love this! I blind bought the roll-on from the Smell Bent annual garage sale, and I only wish I had also got the spray version, maybe even a back-up of each as well. I was most unsure about this scent of all of my purchases from SB, but it is definitely the standout for me. Opens with strong orange blossom and creamy citrus, surprisingly strong for a roll-on oil as well. The citrus begins to fade as the dry vanilla undercurrent starts to shine thru the ever-present orange blossom. This is just an easily lovable true neroli scent to me, not necessarily true as in smells exactly like real neroli, but the total picture painted by the blend of notes is of a beautiful, fragrant white orange blossom - I feel like the vanilla adds just the right amount of sweetness and an almost white-waxy quality that brings an image of the blossom petals to mind. I find nothing masculine about this fragrance at all, although I'm sure I'd enjoy it on a man. Delicious! *Also if anyone has this and wants to part with it (for sale or trade) inbox me!

I would not describe Debonair as "cute," either. "Intriguing" is more appropriate. Perhaps even "peculiar." It's definitely against the current grain, and I can't think of anything else I have ever smelled that is similar. Maybe Hermes's Eau d'Orange Verte. I keep imagining a debonair silent film star while wearing this one, and even though it is totally unisex, it does lean toward the masculine, in my opinion. I don't get very much smoke on my skin, but I do get a lot of moss, which has a bit of a chalky, old basement vibe that surprisingly is not as awful as it may sound. In fact, I really like this fragrance. It is just so oddly bitter and sweet and fresh and dank--all at the same time--and completely addictive.

Debonair is the wonderful menage a trois of orange citrus, neroli & vanilla. The intial blast of orange fades to a dull roar with vanilla & neroli attempting to make an appearance. Overall, great sillage & fragrance lasted on me for 4 plus hours. This scent would not be for everyone...it may appeal more towards the male sector of the market, but if you can sample this, give it a try...Oh! I think I detect a hint of dark chocolate! I love Debonair & concept of Smell Bent. A satisfied customer.

il profumo si apre con note verdissime di muschio di quercia, assai evanescenti purtroppo, ma godibilissime. immediatamente dopo compare, quasi come un lampo, una nota esperidata di arancia. si tratta si un solo attimo perchè subito si passa al neroli smorzato da un tocco di vaniglia. caleidoscopico e rapido, molto buono.

This is so nice the base reminds me of hypnotic poison the top is sweet and almost spicy. I love it.
