Vapeurs Diablotines

Boy, do people love to exaggerate. This isn't anywhere AS shocking or provoking as some reviews below suggest. Certainly it isn't your average pretty scent - so sampling is indeed a good idea. But don't expect to gasp and rush to open windows either - not really. It starts off with the smell that's released moments after you extinguish wax candles - somewhat smoky and ...well...acrid-waxy. But not in a bad way, interestingly. Rather in an atmospheric way, which I think is captured by other reviews below about being in a temple etc. I agree. It's realistic and warm and transports you to some sort of place of worship. In itself that's a very clever metaphor for an olfactive love potion, assuming the nose did intend to suggest romantic love is a form of worship. From the incensey start, it gradually morphs into an animalic, vanillic amber. The incense remains in the background. Not sure when the mood will strike to wear this, but I DO enjoy it AND respect the vision and execution. Great fragrance.

Soft leather with some dried fruits and heady florals (rose, jasmine) and some spicy geranium. Very complex scent that changes A LOT! It becomes somewhat dirty and dark at the dry down. But this is definitely an amazing perfume journey. UPD: its start might be a bit challenging, because it smells a bit like gasoline and burnt plastic for a couple of minutes.

Masterfully blended, juicy and spicy oriental, with a distinctive faux leather note on top that makes it quite special. Eminently wearable and addictive.

I really like this. Very herbal and aromatic. Definitely perfect for autumn. Has a smokey earthy vibe and it’s warmed up by spices. Animalic but not overly so. It’s sexy and enticing and I keep coming back to sniff myself over and over. A unique blend and FBW.

Very unique, earthy, ambery, but not heavy. I can sniff something like smoky flowers scent. Kind of temples smell. Perfectly unisex frangrance, I think.
