Black rain
She's beautiful. Very beautiful, in fact Who could resist her? You pick up the bottle and pull the trigger. Once, twice, three times?! You close your eyes and you can hear it, hear the rain falling. The black rain. And with it she comes. She, who is called Geisha Noire. Darkness surrounds her, but the darkness is not cold. She is warm, enticing and fascinatingly sensual. Her black kimono is drenched by the black rain, which falls on her like molten amber and flows away from her in tough drops, crackling bubbles around her. Slowly she comes towards you and when she finally stands in front of you and you look into her black painted face which looks like an oni, you get weak, but it feels good. Even very good! The air is filled with the spicy and tangy scent of tonka at that moment. There is a slight bitterness in the air. Tender, dark hands run gently through your hair and massage your neck and shoulder with oils from the softest, creamiest sandalwood. Security flows through you while Geisha Noir sings her song in soft and smooth, soft and vanilla notes. There is nothing to fear at this moment. Absolutely nothing!

Conclusion
Geisha Noir fulfils all criteria and tasks that even a real and highly professional geisha could fulfil. She entertains excellently and it is a pleasure to show and decorate with her. In the beginning you might be a bit shocked by the power of her dark and spicy amber, but this soon disappears when she drops her mask. Geisha Noir becomes visibly softer and more supple with time. Buttery, creamy sandalwood runs through her like a smooth, creamy river. Spicy and gently bitter tonka gives relaxing warmth and softly hummed notes of warm, soft vanilla lay on the senses like a soothing song. Geisha Noir is a highly enduring accompaniment. She entertains you for many hours and becomes more and more charming and attractive. Geisha Noir is deep, warm, sensual and admittedly...also sexy! Who would not like to have such a companion at his side? A very tempting oni!

I thank you for the introduction of this charming, new companion to the Gschpusi, who is very much appreciated by me!

Give it to me
... these warm, sensual Busser'l, which you breathe to each other in passing, very close to your ear.
Give them to me, these kissers that make your lips linger after a long, deep look. Soft, demanding and so sugary sweet.
Give it to me, these arms into which you snuggle and in the end are just one. Secure, erotic!
Geisha is like one of those Busser'ls.
Woody and sweet, densely interwoven in a dark, black amber coat. Oriental dancing "Tonka resins" crackle seductively.
Geisha Noir is sensuality in the fragrance. Night-black Busser'l, lined up like a string of pearls. Tightly structured. A dream!

GEISHA NOIRE by Aroma M
The Aroma M company was created by artist Maria McElroy in 1998. A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, she attended the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco, California. During her attendance there, she found herself captivated by Asian abstract paintings. She moved to Japan after completing her education and spent several years there studying the art of fragrance and many other Japanese cultural esthetics. These studies gave her a well-rounded experience for her future pursuits in perfumery. Geisha Noire eau de parfum is an adaptation from the Aroma M's popular perfume oil of the same name. While the strength is slightly reduced, the end result is the satisfyingly same. Just as the cultural icon that inspired this fragrance creation, Geisha Noire eau de parfum is a delicate, comforting amber confection that entertains the senses.

The success of Geisha Noire is built on the simple construction of three notes, black amber, sandalwood and tonka bean. The Japanese culture esteems the concept of simplicity, so Maria McElroy's strategy seems completely appropriate. Sandalwood plays a key element in Japanese culture. You will find sandalwood incense commonplace in Japanese religious ceremonies as well as a means for Buddhists to maintain a person's alertness during meditation. McElroy studied incense ceremonies for several years in Japan, so she seems quite experienced with the concept. The smell of sandalwood, whether natural or burnt as incense, is slightly resinous, woody and simply celestial. The sandalwood in Geisha Noire is not freshly cut but slightly antique, mysterious and dark. There is a powdery element present in Geisha Noire that seems appropriate in honor of the snowy faced Geisha culture. Similar to the monochromatic presentation for the face and hair of the Geisha, this powdery element in one-dimensional but necessary to complete the fragrance's Oriental disposition. Visually, the Geisha are like exotically colored birds. Their garb has captured the interest and imagination of the western world for decades. While their mythical outward appearance is doll-like and seems to lack a certain humanness, their sweetness is achieved by their colorful attire. Geisha Noire derives a satisfying sweetness from the careful use of the vanilla-like persona of Tonka bean. This sweet note blends naturally with woody sandalwood making the merger smooth and silky. Black amber is the final key component in Geisha Noire's sweet but deeply cozy nature. Like the allegorical and ominous landscapes of Japan, black amber introduces a sculptural element not unlike the carefully pruned trees of a Japanese garden. There is also a sensual element reminiscent of the softly rolling mountains of Japan. Black amber is a slightly heavy, but rich, element that concludes this Oriental accord. The dry down in Geisha Noire is warm, comforting and sensual, which makes it a perfectly appropriate fragrance for night.

The presentation of the Aroma M products keeps in tune with their Oriental inspired roots. The products are presented in a black, kimono-like drawstring pouch. Some of the bottles are decorated in beautiful papers that are like miniature Japanese paintings. Other more colorful and beautifully-made fabric pouches can be purchased separately from the Aroma M online store, if so desired.

Some have said that they can detect vague echoes of Shalimar in Geisha Noire. This fragrance is more simply constructed with a less aggressive bad girl personality. Geisha Noire eau de parfum is much like the Geisha themselves. This fragrance is quiet, somewhat reserved but slightly exotic, and always capable of keeping one entertained.

A Silken Web of Seduction
I was initially disenchanted with Aroma M GEISHA NOIRE, my first perfume oil to try from this house, because immediately after application I found that my neck was stinging. It is entirely possible that something in the oil reacted with a lotion I had applied earlier in the day, so I don't want to say that this is necessarily a part of the perfume, but it did affect my initial reaction to it.

However, by the end of an hour the pain had entirely subsided, and as more time elapsed I became captivated by this dark amber creation. There is an animalic side to it, so I think that ambergris is present, but it also has a soft and sumptuous labdanum facet.

Overall, this a winter-weather perfume for amber lovers who like darker rather than lighter treatments. GEISHA NOIRE seems to me to be an excellent name for this composition because the sillage expands to trap the wearer--and anyone else who happens to be around--in a silken web of seduction. It definitely won me over through the course of a single wear... GEISHA NOIRE is a beautiful amber perfume.

No Bad Girl
From other reviews and the name, I had a completely different amber in mind: something dark, oriental, spicy, damp. Instead I got a soft butter scent, amber, vanilla and sandalwood that can be picked up at any health food market. There is no punch, no character. Pleasant, that's all. Glad I didn't blind buy based on the wonderful Geisha Rouge. (This is the perfume oil version. If anyone has the liquid scent, let me know if it is different.)
