Advantages: smells gorgeous and feels sexy.

Disadvantages: probably use it too quick

I recieved this little suprise as a gift for Cristmas.My husband is not known for any specific talent in taste,so was a bit nervous as to what this blue bottle was.
I had not heard of it before Christmas,and am not someone who runs out to buy something because it has a celebrity name slapped on it.I am not naive enough to believe they ever get near the product at all.

However,whoever the people are who decided to use Kate Moss' coat tails to ride on,did quite a great job in my opinion.

Description of packaging.

The box I recieved was a very sexy violet deep silky blue,bordering violet.
I opened the very sturdy box to reveal a cylindric yet hegagonal type bottle ,also in a very seductive colour.The bottle feels of very high quality and extremely weighty and thick.
Perfumes do not tolerate suunlight very well and can spoil,maybe this is why they chose a dark tinted bottle?

The scent.

The bottle is a spray top and comes out quite sensibly,only needing one squirt per wrist.It neither drenches the wrist ,nor needing to be sprayed multiple times.

On spraying ,a beautiful smell that seemed familiar to me rose up to meet me.Delicate ,yet powerful.
Then it hit me,parma violets!!!May not be what everyone gets ,but this is MY review,so I am stating what I was reminded of.

The exact scents incorporated to make this delectable scent are ;-

blue pepper,
freesia,
cashmere incense,
patchouli,
nutmeg,
sandalwood,
amber,
ebony and wood.

Patchouli is a scent that some of my friends that are seriously into aromatherapy simply can not live without and say it has a strong aphrodisiac efffect for them.Maybe that is where I am getting the impression of sexyness from.Its certainly not from an emaciapated model endorsing the product.

Infact the perfumer that should get the credit is infact Emilie Copperman.
And I think that she is a complete genius for this creation.
It is available in numerous sizes and also as a gift set which includes the EDT and a 150 ml bottle of cashmere body cream.
I have never been a fan of paying over the odds for a side order of body cream that I will forget to use and will take up room somewhere,until I decide to declutter and wang it in the bin.Just buy me two bottles of perfume instead please!!
