Probably not for fragrance newbies...
This perfume made me look up asofoetida. Ahh, so that was the strangely spicy, borderline garlic-sweat note in here. Let me make clear that it's not a bad thing but it was a very unusual note that I had not encountered in the past. I don't get "ivory" color from this but I do see shades of copper and bronze in my minds eye, like a sunset over a field of black eyed Susans. This is a weird perfume and while I like it a lot, I cannot wear it just any old place. It has a definite vintage feel, lots of oakmoss and bitter herbs mixed with sappy green wildflower stems. I wore this on a road trip to our family country house this summer. It was perfect for a weekend in the pollen filled air of the country, in a house built by my great-grandparents, full of dusty antiques and that mossy smell of the surrounding woods breezing in the windows. If you're not into challenging retro scents, you probably aren't going to like Ivoire. But if you are like me and will use scents to transport you into another era, please give this one a try. There is an intensive pepper note in here that will appeal to lovers of that. Asofoetida though. Wow, funny to say, funny to smell.
