powdery and leathery - and vanilla!
Do reviews of discontinued fragrances make sense?
... Probably not.
Does it make sense to test discontinued fragrances?
... No (at least from my point of view).
So much for the theory.
In practice, I accidentally tested a fragrance that had been discontinued, namely this one.
I didn't know that - that it had been discontinued.
What can I say: Tested and immediately flashed.
I got hold of a bottle and continued testing - you could have made a mistake, it might not be so good after all.
Nope, nothing there, still flashed - crap, it's discontinued...
And then - what luck - I got hold of a bottle.
I like vanilla fragrances. Not all of them, but those that are
- sweet but not sticky,
- perceptible but not too loud,
- embracing but not overwhelming
are
This fragrance is all that. I don't perceive any great progression here, for me it is a very soft, very powdery leather note on a beautiful, somewhat smoky vanilla throughout.
Why has this beautiful fragrance been discontinued - sigh...
... Probably not.

I can not describe you, but you are perfect
Since I couldn't fit the following into a 140 character statement, it will now be a review :)
(I already did a review on parfumo.de, this is the english version)
I like vanilla, I like iris, I like woody notes.
Probably Black Tie is the perfect blend of these for me, maybe the other notes play a role here too, I can't tell.
Because I can't smell out any individual notes here, I just perceive the overall result:
Present, but not obtrusive.
Sweet, but not sticky - a dry sweetness that is very attractive.
Powdery, but not dry as dust.
Just a perfect composition for me, great fragrance.

What smells so good?
- me! :)
I've already tested some oud perfumes and have come to the conclusion based on the tests that they are nothing for me - too woolly, too much rose, too scratchy, on balance just not coherent for me.
And then came the Resala:
What a beautiful fragrance! :)
For my nose, the perfectly tuned, there is nothing scratchy, the rose fits super pure and the longer I wear the, the more beautiful the. Maybe it's also because of the chocolate that I like the so - I have' just a soft spot for Gourmands...
Whatever - am really totally thrilled.
The bottle is very nice, but there is a point deduction for the closure, because this sits very loose.
