Volume I Intelligence & Fantasy

Ah-loss of words-pleasure! A smell I want to associate with love! They finally added this treasure. Instant favorite-The most shimmering, vibrant dry floral smell-the tiare note is intoxicating, but the whole fragrance is so light..... This is one of the most exotic-smelling perfumes, without being Oriental, heady, sweet, or over the top. It's far too expensive for buying new or FB for most, including me. Being used to fragrances that try harder with strong contrasts, sharp turns and grand efforts to smell like a few particular notes-with all respect to the wonderful fragrances that do those things well-this perfume is very special for smelling modern but bringing together essences to create a smell that is both natural and abstract-transparently lush, ethereally sexy without smelling ethereal, alien or fairy creature. The name of this fragrance is supposed to be an homage to Geza Schoen's taste in women: "The most beautiful part of a woman is her mind" A beautiful fragrance for an ideal of a woman. I may not be a worthy woman of the fragrance, but I have internalized the fantasy and breathe in the love. P.S. I personally like the bottle very much-it's not my usual taste, but I find it to be sci-fi ubermodern art. It's a bit coy, and absolutely unique.

I am delighted to have received two spray samples of A Beautiful Mind Series fragrances in my August H2BAR Box! I had heard of these fragrances, of course, but I have no idea how long it would have been before I'd gotten the opportunity to try them. I am thrilled that a subscription box includes non-mass market scents, and I find the concept of celebrating intellect and memory to be inspiring and fun. It's also wonderful that the fragrances honor amazing people. Intelligence & Beauty is perfectly accurate for its honoree, Christiane Stenger, who, in 2001, became a Grandmaster of Memory in Memory Athletics. It begins with a punch of magnolia that evanesces into a cashmeran and cedar. The undercurrent of bergamot takes away the ultrafeminity of magnola and makes this a scent that those who are traditionalists about fragrance would consider to be unisex. This wears off quickly though, leaving behind a heady, voluptuous white floral dominated by tiare. I'm not much into magnolia scents, but I really enjoy wearing this one. It's beautiful, yes, but I love it mostly because it's so overtly creative and unique.

Oh my God, you don't find it easily on-line or in this part of the world and after several searches over the months. I waited before i could review and am sure its possibly a rare one.Gosh I hope after the 2 bottles are over I will find it and re-stock, i once went into this shop that was shutting down, with 2 bottles left at a give away price, I blindly bought it, simply because the give away price was just about the actual price of most of the designer perfumes I have come across...even though I never got a chance to have a sniff before buying it, believe me the " blind date with my perfume" was worthwhile because the secret was inside the bottle or should I say it was one of those rare opportunities & best buys ever...smells perfumilicious, I love it,love it, love it and forever wear this sparingly.

Los aromas para mí no tienen género. Por ende, no me cuestiono si es para hombre o mujer, simplemente valoro el perfume por su belleza y luminosidad. Este perfume es claramente producto de una inspiración real, sin un objetivo netamente comercial. Al olerlo en mi mano, de verdad se manifiesta lleno de una personalidad no invasiva, sino acogedora. Ahora sólo queda disfrutar esto y entregarle la nota final... nuestro propio aroma. Recomendable!

Actually from the first sniff I didn't like it so much - it was too peppery and musky. But every time I wear it, I become a complements from people around and my husband likes it! So I've dicided to revise my opinion. And I have to say that it is really very complicated scent with it's own personality. Not for every day. For days when I want to be radiant. I like the bottle so much and love the name - it is so ME!
