  |  The middle part of the development was best, right after the tangy top notes burned away. On me it was a dry, dry woody scent with some light powder, some earthyness (vetiver-like) and probably the cumin making it seem a bit "off", in a good way. If the scent smelled like this the whole time, I would probably buy a bottle.Unfortunately, the good part goes away after a couple of hours, and the remaining notes are not of interest. A good musk, but not enough of it. And that nasty cinnamon candle wax note. The drydown reminds me of Cuir de Lancome but with an inferior musk. 22 October 2008 |

|  My daughter calls it "evil candy.' She's right. It's a fragrance that represents the goth/dark side of your local candy store. Hardly 'Magnifique.' More 'Tres Bizarre.' Points for weirdness, though!28 September 2008 |
 | Distinctive enough to be instantly recognizable, but somehow disappointing. On the top I get good dose of red berries, followed by a base that smells like iris and white musk. It seems to clunk along rather awkwardly from one (very) synthetic note to the next. There's something a little 'dead' in the overall effect. I wish it had more sparkle and heart. It's as if the top and base notes are tip-toeing around the edges but the fragrance is hollow in the center. It's crying out for something more radiant in the mix to lift the whole fragrance up a notch. It's just so dreary. 09 September 2008 |
 | Solidified, berried, hard candy. Awful! It's cloud is so thick that there are no spaces in between to breathe real air. 27 August 2008 |
 |  I hate to say this, but: "Lancome continues it's trend of marketing 'turnips'!" This scent was so sickly sweet, it was depressing. The only thing I can compare this scent to would be one of those cherry flavored cough syrups; it had that overly sweet feel to it, which is not pleasant at all. I was hoping that the newest release from Lancome would be a throwback to some of their older, elegant scents, but alas it continues down the sickly gourmand path. I am truly disappointed with Lancome, and have given up hope that they will ever release anything ' magical' again. 07 August 2008 |
