I've had it on only an hour and it's almost already gone!
I wish I was better at identifying notes. I used to be, but then went about four years without regularly wearing or trying perfumes, so...

This starts off smelling alot like my Mexique Shalimar, but then turns into a rahat loukhoum type fragrance. Interesting shift. Notes per Fragrantica: Top notes are bergamot and black pepper;...

A thickened, gourmand peach; i.e., not really edible, but obviously has peach in it. It is not fruity like BB&W. Kind of reminds me of Amouage. Notes per Basenotes:

Very sweet and synthetic peach candy scent. Lasting power of about 15 minutes which just happened to be enough time to induce a migraine.

A rather disappointing experience I must say.
It started promising with a fresh note of pear and a lovely iris with an "old lipstick" sort of touch to it. Unfortunately after half an hour I am...

Un Coeur en Mai, A heart in May, is a green floral. Unlike most of the generic department store green florals these days, this one is artistically composed and contains high quality raw materials....

A perfectly ripe peach scent with a spicy edge. It opens up quite sweet but I am glad it eases a bit after 15 minutes. Smooth and silky, very feminine

Enlevement au Serail, "The Abduction from the Seraglio", is the name of an opera composed by Mozart. I'd classify it as floral oriental rather than chypre. It opens with a cloud of mixed spicy...

Being not a huge fan of fruity florals at the moment, I was hoping this one would be a scrubber, mostly because of the price tag. But it’s not (and thank God we can buy refill bottles). It is...

Pineapple! Without coconut or cocktail associations. Pretty, soft, a little sweet, almost creamy, like pineapple cooked in butter for a nice sauce. Compare to Caron's Acaciosa or L'Artisan's...

This is a beautiful, well executed perfume, very airy and light-smelling, but not light in sillage or scent. It wears slightly more to the parfum side in terms of strength than an EDT, like others...

This really doesn't work with my skin chemistry. It has that grape Kool-aid scent, but with a really weird smelling peach on me. Laffy Taffy peach flavor? Some type of atrocious artificial mess on...

This is probably just my skin chemistry that amplifies patchouli and oakmoss, and makes it into a heavy, oppressive monster of a mess. So similar was this to how Mitsouko smells on me, I initially...

Awful. A synthetic-musk bomb. I love this line but this has to be a joke. Indistinguishable from the latest Christina Aguilera, et al "scent".

Overall, I dislike it more than like it. It's artificial smelling, sheer, 'pretty' rose, sort of soapy-clean, generic. It has the fake, contrived smell of a designer scent.

Rose de Siwa is certainly one of the prettiest roses available. It is a tastefully done, pale rose--gentle, feminine and on the sheer side. Absolutely a quality composition, this is one which...
