spicy, misnamed beauty

At first, I got a smell like some sweetened hot cereal. After I smelled it a few times, my nose picked up on the gingerbread notes. Now, it smells to me like strong spice tea (cinnamon & anise) with a sugar cube dissolving at the bottom of the cup.

I'm baffled about the name, though. It's cozy & spicy & thick & lovely (perfect for our brutal cold winter weather), so what does it have to do with crime? (082510)

Old Hollywood Film Noire

Private Collection Un Crime Exotique by Parfumerie Generale

This name alone creates a sense of..
Heightened DRAMA.....
something will happen or is about to happen
and your in the middle of it .

Intrigued and lured by its Old Hollywood Film Noire name
I ventured to sample it ....

"INDOCHINE"
might have been a better suited name ....

Allow me to set the film up....
The Decadence of the French living in Vietnam and the exploitive evils of Colonialism....
A exotic place all Steamy and Humid!
Languorous visits to hidden
Mandarin "OPIUM DENS"...
All the while you are floating on a "JUNK" on tranquil waters.....
When suddenly you are awakened by the rude shots of a gun....
You feel the wetness of liquid on your chest. the OPIUM has dulled your sense of pain ....
Is it blood ? NO!
The smell of fragrance fills the air ...
Your favorite crystal decanter lies on the floor shattered....
You smile ...
having cheated death one more time ... you return to your revelry.

Then ...
Un Crime Exotique would perhaps make a bit more sense.
I really like this Spiced Tea Infusion scent.

The fragrance is so heady with GINGER and Spice... predominantly Saigon Cinnamon.
Perhaps this mysterious sounding ingredient ..called
"Osmanthus"
which in CHINA is infused with green or black tea leaves, to create a scented tea called guì hu? chá (OSMANTHUS TEA)
creates the "CRIME EXOTIQUE" in this Potent,Intoxicating and Long Lasting Fragrance....

A 50ml bottle for 100.00 bucks

Not guilty, Your Honor!

There’s honey in gingerbread, but I wasn’t expecting Un Crime Exotique to smell so intensely honeyed. It's like a pot of spiced honey, a honey chai, or even a gingerbread served at Christmas.

Both sensual and comforting, it’s a creamy, spicy scent that I fell for instantly.

If there’s a crime here, it can only be a sin of indulgence...

A Steaming Cup of Spicy Vanilla Chai Next

I bought Une Crime Exotique because of its notes, and I am very happy with my purchase. At first spray, I was worried since I got a blast of Vick's Honey Cough Syrup. However, the culprit, the Star Anise, dies down within 5 to 10 minutes. What is left is a Spicy Vanilla Chai with a slight creamy base from the sandalwood. Absolutely great for the holiday season. I'd categorize the fragrance as warm and cozy, not dramatic or striking. It is a very beautiful, comforting scent for daily wear to get cozy in the holiday season. I layer it with Angels’ Share or a Bourbon and Cinnamon perfume oil to add a more cinnamon-boozy note to it.

Sorry Pierre

This one was a scrubber.
And while I usually very much enjoy your stuff, AND while the notes of this thing sounded right up my alley, the result was shockingly appalling. No idea what caused such an intense dislike.
