I've just had a bunch of samples delivered from Les Senteurs and other places.
Frederic Malle - Portrait of a Lady:
I suspected I wouldn't like this and I was right. Awful. Powdery acrid rose patchouli. An old cat lady in a dank Victorian parlour. And the cat is incontinent.
Frederic Malle - Musc Ravageur:
All is forgiven. This is in my top 5. Opens like ferret piss but dries down into pure unadulterated sex juice.
Long Courrier:
One of the most interesting scents I've tried in a long time. An ozonic gourmand. Really good so far. Smells like the salty sea and orange oil and then chocolate and cedar.
Van Cleef & Arpels - Orchidee Vanille:
A beautiful if slightly safe scent. Orangey and woody vanilla. Proper vanilla, nothing synthetic or cupcakey at all. With enough fruit and floral notes to keep it interesting without overpowering.
Armani Privé - Cuir Amethyste: Oh my word this stuff is incredible! Leather and violet. Smokey and purple and churchy. Just amazing. A divisive one I think.
