Advantages: Unusual scent

Disadvantages: Ugly bottle and hard to find

When I first discovered this perfume, I must admit that the first thing that attracted me was the bizarre bottle - stunning ugly, yet strangely compelling. The thing that particularly struck me was the fact that the flagon is completely opaque - you can't see the contents of the bottle - no colour, no idea what it holds. The scent itself is unlike any other - both pleasant but at the same time leathery and woody. The first notes of the fragrance are rose and cedarwood with hints of orange blossom, followed by a heady mix of beeswax, violet , honey and peaches. This is then topped off with a combination of cinnamon, vanilla, musk and cardamom. Although this variety of scent influences may sound repulsive at first, I assure you, it is not - rather it is mysterious and quite a heavy scent because it only comes in eau de parfume concentration. I would definetly prefer wearing it if it weren't so strong. Especially because if you put too much on, it can almost follow you around for the rest of the evening. This is a great perfume but only one to wear if you like people to carry on smelling you two hours after you left the room.
