THE unisex flowery scent
As the title suggests, this one is the ultimate best unisex flowery scent.
To be honest, I always be very sceptical about floral unisex scents, in my opinion the were feminine or masculine until now.

If you take a look on the fragrance notes, the feminine(musk, vanilla, jasmine, hibiscus and orange blossom) and masculine notes(patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, amber and osmanthus) are perfectly balanced(50-50%) and the parfumeur did a very good job, because the result is a totally unisex scent.
Besides the following notes, I feel some oldskool turkish rose, what could be awesome and awful as well. In this case, it is gorgeous!!

I’ve never liked patchouly, because I have’t seen any perfume in which the smokey-earthy nature of patchouli would be well blended with the other ingredients.
But I’m amazed, because Le Péché proves it’s possibility.

I don’t know who is the composer of Le Péché, but I admire her/him so much!

A venial sin
Where's the "sin" in this perfume? I tested a few days ago and I found it quite innocent, pleasant and feminin, without a particular personality. It is quite good but as a daily office scent which doesn't impress anyone.
Maybe I wrong,but these latest Eisenberg's creations (except J'ose) seem to me all similar and not too special in comparison with the high price.

The best floral fragrance
I love floral fragrances and this is not a let down. A very unique floral, musky scent with a woody drydown. Surprisingly feminime but not too much to be hard to wear on a day to day basis. The hibiscus in the opening is so-so good it instanly became one of my favourite. As the floral and sweet vanillic top & heart starting to fade the beautifully blended woody base with the patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood comes out more and more. Smells like my mothers flower shop where i spent a lot of time as child, I spend a lot of time there still. Strong and long lasting and so unique it will definietly turn heads in a good way. Eisenberg starting to become one of my favourite fragrance house.

We do it so often... we should do it more often.
What could it have been?
Was it really the serpent that was punished by having its legs taken away?
Was it the scent, the colors, the impressions?
Was it... pure desire?

We do not know... No one knows... And that’s just fine... What happens in Paradise, stays in Paradise!
And yet, we still bear the consequences to this day, and our children’s children will also bear the consequences.
It was Eve, the wife of Adam, who bit into the apple and thus committed sin.

The sin.... In French:
Le péché

Before we continue with the pleasurable and decadent attempt at describing the scent, I must hit the brakes and point out:
My description is about the MEN'S VERSION!
Anyone comparing the two bottles above will notice: One bottle is transparent/white, the other is black... Black is the version for men... NO... not quite! For the gentleman!
Both have the same name, differing only in the color of the bottle and the painting on the packaging.

A magnificent painting. The gentleman, the lady. Alone, completely absorbed in themselves. Lost in thoughts and impressions. In the finest attire. The gentleman on the divan or also on the chaise-longue. He wears cufflinks, of course he does, because he is French. It is no coincidence that the French cuff is called "french cuff" in English.
The lady beside him. Her legs half exposed. The left strap of her dress has slipped off her shoulder. The lady wears shoes that reveal a lot of foot... Prepared for enjoyment, pure sin... a true delight.
Painted by Juarez Machado in 2010. The title of the painting: le péché.

I would like to encourage every gentleman and lady to view the works of the artist. For those who particularly appreciate the paintings from the perfume collection of the house Eisenberg, almost all works by/for Eisenberg are available in 2 sizes... Printed on silk!!!

To give truth its due:
Moments that I fondly remember, moments of enjoyment often have something sinful about them.
This scent reminds me of that...

The composition is the same for both the lady and the gentleman. Perhaps the ratio to each other is different.

The scent surprises in the top note with a freshness and alertness. Undoubtedly, it is the orange blossom that imparts this freshness. Accompanied - and this in a very balanced manner - by a slight floral note and a herbal scent. Osmanthus and hibiscus are quite recognizable. A lively, yes, perhaps a slightly surprising start.

With the same smoothness and no less finely tuned - one only sees it when one opens their eyes again after a sensual kiss - sweet and somewhat heavier notes of amber and vanilla embrace you. It is that little tingle in the stomach, that wonderful cozy feeling after a sensual kiss in the getting-to-know phase. When everything is so new, so exciting. You don’t want to fully open your eyes, the mind is clouded... The jasmine retains a little of the floral quality of the top note. It’s as if you are questioning and trying to understand what just happened and what is going on inside you.

Base notes... the foundation notes
Heavy... Well-being... Everything is good. So it should remain. Time stands still.... Stop the earth, I want to get off!
When one (or the gentleman) places his hand.... the well-groomed, warm, soothing hand on the lady and leaves it there for a long time... When Madame closes her eyes and loses herself in thought, she eventually no longer feels that hand exactly... she only feels that it is there.
The base notes are what remains... After a wonderful romantic evening between two people who have found each other or are searching for one another. After an evening that may end with a sin, wonderful memories and a beautiful feeling remain. The memory stays. The impressions remain. But it is no longer tangible.
This captures it quite accurately. The scent leaves behind a heavy mixture of vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, and musk that personally tempts me to keep smelling it again and again. It is a warm scent. As if you wake up in a warm, pleasantly scented bed the morning after that evening. With freshly fluffed pillows, the blanket lying just right, the heating set to the right level, because summer is a matter of setting in winter.... Stay in bed... Dream...

The presentation, the scent, the painting, the impressions... everything is so perfectly coordinated. It is a total impression, no wonder José Eisenberg speaks of "L'Art du parfum" - the art of perfumes.

Who is this scent for?
For the lover! For those who love life, the moment, and the special!
The scent is very present, but in my impression, not intrusive.
It is definitely the wrong scent to wear to the disco.
Perhaps it is also not the scent for the daily workday.... that is hard to say.
It is the right perfume for a romantic restaurant visit (...Please request a table in the quiet corner and fresh candles for the long evening when making the reservation!!!!)
It is the right perfume for "sniffing." For being alone. But not just alone together... but also alone with oneself.
Certainly, the scent - also the scent "pour homme" - has something about it that could be described as feminine. I would describe it as fine, sensitive, emotional. Traits that can certainly be very masculine.

The scent is quite special. There may be scents for ladies that are not dissimilar. In the world of men, this scent stands quite alone.
It certainly requires a bit of courage from the wearer. At least a certain self-confidence.
The scent is also quite "understated"...
The longevity is unfortunately somewhat limited, the price is quite high, but not comparable to really expensive perfumes.
With the 30ml spray bottle, Eisenberg also provides the right format for travel.
The bottle is square. It would take up quite a bit of space in your pants but fits comfortably in a coat pocket without adding weight or bulk.

A successful, very special scent.
Definitely worth a recommendation!
I use the scent generously.

Thank you for reading and my heartfelt thanks to those who read the entire comment!

Parfumo, we need to talk!
Trigger warning:
I like you very much, but something is not right here. Either you or I; one of us has smelled something different. Definitely not Le Peche. Let me tell you about the bottle that has been sitting in my cabinet for a year and is named Le Peche.
I first noticed Le Peche in the perfumery when I tested a spritz completely unprejudiced. What I smelled was so intense and spicy that I was immediately thrilled. At some point, the moment came; 100ml on sale, for whatever reason. I jumped at it right away.

Since then, I have only used Le Peche 5 times. Why? Because it is so good!

Of course, noses are different and each of us knows the deal with different skin types and everything related to longevity and perception. Some noses even find Kouros appealing. So you know what I mean. But I will only speak about my own perception now.

Le Peche smells, as already hinted, intense and very spicy-woody. I am not an expert, but I suspect it is the Osmanthus that spreads this exact aroma. It is probably the interplay with sandalwood and patchouli. And this sharp and spicy scent seems to go on endlessly. With almost every other perfume, my nose eventually filters out the scent, or the effect noticeably diminishes. Not with Le Peche. Le Peche remains exactly what it is and keeps throwing scent clouds around you. At first, there is a strong musk noticeable on the skin, which eventually fades. However, I don't smell this at all on clothing.
On clothing, Le Peche is immortal. So you should think carefully about whether you want to "Le Peche" your jacket, for example. If you change scents every day, it might not be the best idea. When it fades after 12-15 hours (skin), it still lets a hint of vanilla peek through, but really only as a base note.

So we actually have this hit here, which smells the same in the "big and full note" for several hours. Extremely high recognition value and for me incomparable with other scents.

Due to its heaviness and intense spiciness, it is not a summer scent for me. I wore it once at 30+ degrees. It was... exhausting :)
Also not a scent for every day. But for special moments, it is an absolute knockout!

The bottle and packaging are very high quality and beautiful. Price, well... for what it brings (to me) it is more than justified.
So all in all: I don't smell anything powdery sweet-floral. If someone is lucky enough to have a similar nose, I would highly recommend this scent to them!

Quite warm and well composed, but extremely evanescent for being an eau de parfum and for its very high price!

A beautiful unisex floral scent with a slight edge. Suitable for everyday wear. Definitely not to be overlooked. H+S are okay.

"Le Peche" - A great creation in itself - Way too underrated / Hibiscus - Orange blossom & Vetiver do their job - Unfortunately, it lasts only a very short time.

The scent itself isn't bad, but the performance is quite weak. For the price, I don't find it recommendable.

Great aromatic and spicy floral scent for men. Clearly stands out from the crowd. Slight resemblance to A*Men. Highly recommended!

As if you mixed Reflection Man with J'Ose (2011) Eau de Parfum. Woody orange blossom for the office.
