Musky Melon...
This is an unusual one! The concept is not one I am familiar with and I'm not familiar with the famous bottle etc because I am reviewing from a sample here, so I will try to focus on how it smells like first.

The smell is like some kind of melon! Not a watermelon, but a regular melon. Actually the notes are very extensive. It has a host of florals and sweetness and a quality which makes it very "light" smelling. I think ultimately the smell isn't for me. It's very sweet and floral I know a man can wear it but I get a vibe of some kind of fruity-floral. I appreciate that there are really good ingredients here. The flowers are very well represented here (especially osmanthus and freesia)... and there is a nice sweetness (maybe from the ambergris & civet)? But for me it's not something I would go out and buy. I like the idea of it but it's not for me.

A Fox Runs Wild....a scentual review
The scent of Forest ...
Woody,Green and lush.....
a Fox runs wildy about ......

This is a male fox .. searching out his vixen...
a manly streak belies...this womans fragrance...
civet and castoreum give this fragrance
a wild animalic /leatherish
feel....
The charming Fox tramples over florals
as he goes about his wanderings ...
might they be wood violets & roses..perhaps
There are hints of jasmine and carnation...
just enough to spice it up.

I wore it today ... as I walked my dog in the park!
I got reactions from strangers ....
"WOW! thats a great FALL scent!"
pleased with myself ... I spritzed some more on...

Ignore the FUR CONTROVERSY and order a decant from
your fave FRAGRANCE DECANT STORE like I did ...

Friendly Fur Obscures The Perfume Audience
I feel I must write this review. If someone feels they must trash me, oh well. I just cannot get past the pelt. I realize I could buy the bottles that go inside the pelt, but that's not the point, either. It's the whole concept behind it. We all have seen so many bottle designs, beautiful and not so beautiful. But this I could not get past to enjoy and wear appreciatively.
The wording is ambiguous concerning the fur, and that's what people see first. That's what people see when they look at a perfume bottle. Many people admittedly buy a perfume for the container it is put into, and this looks like nothing more than a commercial ploy. It is garnering attention for itself, whether or not the juice inside is any good. The sales will be made for the pelt of these animals, whether or not the perfume is any good. Yes, animals will be killed. Note the words, "controlled forest management". That means killing those animals that are over-populating their woods by human decisions. There will be people purchasing this for the wrong reasons, not for the perfume, but for the skins of the animals. When you look at the perfume this way, it's wrong. I believe all creatures are sacred and should be revered. That's the bottom line. And yes, it's also wrong to wrap a bottle in leather, that's also the pelt of an animal. I don't and won't purchase leather, not on a perfume bottle or elsewhere. That's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it as others are entitled to their opinions. But I don't chastise and belittle those that do express their thoughts. That's on them. We all have to live with our decisions. I can live with mine.

Rather polite for something with 'fur' in the name, although I guess that's the 'friendly' part. Smells like melon with some cumin.
