Where you been all my life, you sassy, earthy thing?! Spiced up patchouli that veers just that side of clean, with a slightly dirty bent.

A watermelon-kiwi blend dulled and blunted by wood notes. Opening and first 5 min are superb. Kind of heads nowhere after that... Sad.

Has a strange hold over me. Gentle, hopeful, unpretentious. Clean notes and clear intention. No blurring like the edp.

Timid patchouli and gentle floral pre-Michele Gucci. Entry patchouli forward scent for wallflowers.

Hazy bourbon vanilla peers through amber coloured glasses whilst lazing on a velvet chaise. Gaudy, but so decadently gorgeous.

Campari wished it smelled like this. Herbal, sweet, slightly soapy and bitter fruits. Mature take on the fruchouli trend, but executed well.

I wish it only lasted two hours. I love it, then get tired of it. Light musk with neon blue iris.

That this is beautiful is not debatable. The sillage and longevity, however, bring this right down. How dare such a powdery glory be flat?!?

Each time I wear it, I find new nuances. Doesn't make it more interesting, though. Perfectly inoffensive, nice and pretty.

Taken me years to appreciate Shalimar. It isn't too much of anything; I was just too little of everything.
