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

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.

The seven deadly sins
Seven was the film of the year 1995 for me, will probably never forget. An acquaintance who lived in his huge omnibus, had then tickets for the preview and scared me at every scary scene. A quite crazy guy and lovable, who often had a parking problem.

The story is about a serial killer who is obsessed with the seven deadly sins and murders after them. The first of these murders is a fat man whose face is in a plate. He was fed to death and had died of "overeating". The scene is nasty, tied to the chair, the vomit under the table, flies everywhere. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt play well and the good Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey are also in it.

Would Bully Herbig make the film, that would be certainly ne quite corner funnier.

Maybe Winnetou drowned in the Chai Latte bath and stuffed like ne Christmas goose with gingerbread. So smells Exotique Crime for me:

after Chai Latte, with Christmas cookies to it, vanilla and some anise. Has what of Lira, maybe bissi less sweet.

Chai tea with gingerbread; floral note is light and profound, but it makes the fragrance so much more than a spiced tea. Very nice!
