Tango by Aftelier

I a of Argentine heritage and I assure you Ms. Aftelier brialliantly captures, the dualities of Buenos Aires culture, remote yet cosmopolitan, intellectual and raw, but this is a street tango, less precise but most captivating.

I cannot compare this to any other scent ever created. It is composed of all natural ingredients and there were no shortcuts. It stands alone as does its creator.

I see the cafes, the poverty, the colors, the passion every time I wear this, tears well.

Yo Quiera
Gracias, Mandy!!!

Zafferano by Odori

Line my coffin in this scent, its roses and saffron are heavenly, and maybe that's not where i was slated to go. An offering to the gods of perfume

Green by Byredo

there is nothing green in this fragrance. its more the idea of a color. it is floral, where the honeysuckle skips the through the composition.

Gypsy Water by Byredo

Its amazing how fragranc is like a fingerprint with each chemistry different. I like this one. it starts out with a the aroma of lemon curd and then is lovely slightly spicy gourmand.

Un Jardin Après La Mousson by Hermès

This is my favorite of the un jardin series. The sun is breaking through and rain drops sparkle apres le deluge in IndiaThe blend of kahili ginger, cardamon and other spice. UJALM is translucent , Mr. Ellena's print on this , but palpable. It reallyhas tale to tell. The sillage on this is also very good. I do not detect fruity accords at all, rather wet vetiver woody nuances .

2 of my friends tested this and I will say, it did not work well for one, one loved it for its 'fruity' nuances (not on my skin) and bought it as did I.
