Warm, sweet, spicy, versatile, unisex, agreeable
This is my first wearing of Galleria Parfums Shades of Seduction, an aptly-named warm, sweet, spicy scent that’s cozy and alluring in a modern, unisex fashion, with some of the standout notes being vanilla, cardamom, pink pepper, patchouli, and woods. It definitely leans more sweet than it does spicy—it’s not as spicy as Dusk to Dawn or Victorian Tobacco, for example—but it’s not as creamy and bright as Dream Woods. It’s a very easy-to-wear, relaxing but interesting yet still not overpowering semi-spicy option that’s quite unisex and contemporary while not being too quirky for the mainstream crowd.
Shades of Seduction might actually be the most agreeable of the scents from the line that I’ve smelled so far, just ahead of Dusk to Dawn. One needn’t be a fan of gourmands or a prominent tobacco or leather, for example, to like this, but rather just enjoy the modulated spiced vanilla vibe that is the dominant feel of the fragrance.
The retail pricing is $205 for 100ml, in extrait concentration, the same for all seven initial entries in the line. It performs quite well, not as strong as the very strongest of the line that I’ve tried so far, Victorian Tobacco, but still nicely for a scent of its type that leans toward more cold weather use.
Overall, it’s roughly on par with Dusk to Dawn as far as creativity and utility, still not quite as outstanding as Victorian Tobacco but nonetheless well-executed and, like Dusk to Dawn, quite versatile.
