1920's Jazz Club...

To me this one reminds me a lot of either Shalimar by Guerlain or Habanita by Molinard. There is no mistaking that this is a perfume inspired by those two.

I get notes of a bitter citrus, but also orris root and a hint of tobacco. Labdanum and tonka also feature heavily. There is almost a leathery quality here which I like very much. I think the note of "Opium" here is a fantasy note but it is intriguing to smell. Very nice.

I would highly recommend this one from Alkemia perfumes because it smells like vintage Habanita or Shalimar parfum. Instead of paying a lot of money to get those two, or even something similar (like Musc Ravageur) I think this one is the closest you'll get to those three. A bittersweet, leathery oriental. Definitely one to have if you like that old, vintage style.
