If you pay your main attention to the name of "Les Espionnes du Tsar / The Spies of the Tsar" you will get disappointed for sure. So let's forget the name of this scent and take a look at the pyramide. The pyramide is exactly the plot of "Les Espionnes du Tsar / The Spies of the Tsar". Here I admit that the story which the name is promising does not suit to the story of the real scent. I am smelling a fine floral-fruity fragrance, very ephemeral and floral at the beginning. Later "Les Espionnes du Tsar / The Spies of the Tsar" is going slowly to become a more and more tangy and fruity scent. And then it is becoming sweeter and dense. For a certain time it's a fruity gourmand. Patchouli seems to be very restraining for me which I do not regret. Santal and musc are as well not obstrusive. But after this developement "Les Espionnes du Tsar / The Spies of the Tsar" is again a transparent fruity-floral fragrance. For those with a particular liking of fruity scents it might be a wonderful though dainty perfume. I myself do not prefer fruity fragances but tested many and dare say that "Les Espionnes du Tsar / The Spies of the Tsar" is unique in it's own way. But now I tested it the third time. And this time a have fresh and new original samples direct from Roméa d' Améor. I just bought a complete set. Is it possible, that the vials and decants I had before were not quite fresh, openend many times dripped on several skins? Because despite of my disliking fruity perfumes I consider "Les Espionnes du Tsar / The Spies of the Tsar" now as an excellent perfume. The two times before I disliked it really. Now it seems to me a distinct and noble yet different fragance?
