Good Vibes
This fragrance does not have (IMHO) the DNA of FB's creations. Sticky Fingers is to other FB fragrances what Bengal Rouge is to Papillon Artisan Perfumes.
For me, one of the brand's top 3 and side by side with Under My Skin.
Inspired by the Stones' iconic 1971 album and the decadent, chic rock vibe of the time, the performance opens with two protagonists on stage setting the pace in a fantastic introduction.
Keith Richards in colorful, chocolatey/boozy patchouli-scented scarves strums an electrifying riff on a G-tuned Telecaster.
At the same time Mick Jagger in a leather jacket jumps on the microphone singing with contagious energy.
The creamy iris root butter is essential for the assertion of those two protagonists (leather and patchouli).
Mick Taylor - who appears for the first time in the group playing his Gibson (after the death of Brian Jones) - Ron Wood on bass and Charlie Watts on drums produce the background that gives consistency to the composition.
The atmosphere is filled with a sweet aroma of spices, tobacco, wood, naked skin and sensuality.
The projection is not fantastic and Sticky Fingers remains attached and close to the skin, especially after the 3rd hour, when it is defined as a skin scent. Nothing to be surprised about in an extract. However, it lasts from 8 to 12 hours depending on the amount of sprays.
Return to a magical time with a soft leather jacket in an elegant and sexy atmosphere. A seductive aroma on the skin. Comfortable, erotic, soft, addictive.
And the music continues.

One of a kind
A “one of a kind” fragrance (Tabac Tabou by Parfum D’Empire would be a distant relative) that “dares” to bring together opposing notes but that result in a beautiful harmony of the chords they generate among themselves. The composition is a game of unexpected contrasts that evolve over more than 24 hours. A kind of “odorific Chiaroscuro”.
Sophisticated and elegant. Classic, but modern. Or even “Futuristic”. Bright, transparent, fresh, fruity but at the same time soft and “earthy” / “woody” / “spicy”. Light but with enormous “performance”. It is not invasive in a bad way as it does not need to “scream” at the expense of aromatic bomb chemistry to assert itself. The spray has the quality of “atomizing” the fragrance into very tiny, well-directed particles.
Like a super elegant and mysterious person with a special aura who appears at a party and all eyes turn to him or her like magic as he or she walks across the room in silence. Its perfume gives it an exceptional quality and a “magnetic” grandeur. However, the aristocratic appearance does not notice the murmurs of admiration around him.
You don't need to try to get noticed because you are naturally admired. In other words, it is a fragrance that is discreet because none of the notes are excessive. But due to the chords generated, it ends up being powerful - and this is one of the secrets of its success.
I don't feel a citrus opening (in the usual sense of the term) but rather a freshly cracked green apple accord. We quickly also felt a soft, luxurious suede “vibe”. There is a “chic” atmosphere and “compliments” begin to emerge.
Finally, the immortelle flowers contrast and elevate the harmony. This mineral and “earthy” side of dusty dunes - by the sea - from where the wind brings the dry aroma of immortelles progressively gains prominence and between 12 and 24 hours the skin is a field of golden flowers - which permanently attracts. A smell of salinity and dried flowers. The “frozen ocean” chord.
Here everything is more subtle, “ventilated” and beautiful. Not dark and not loud. Just bright. Until the next morning.

Perfect for this Autumn
A beautiful surprise.
Better and more wearable than your predecessor (Homme). A centered leather fragrance.
Halfway between the raw leather jacket of a wild James Dean smelling of Knize Ten vintage and the gasoline from his motorcycle and the Daniel Craig suede jacket with the sophisticated scent of the Puredistance M and the Aston Martin DBS upholstery and upholstery Superleggera of No Time to Die.
Perhaps the right olfactory image will be Indiana Jones leather jacket as it is inspired by semi-precious stones of the London Natural History Museum.
A somewhat vintage fragrance in the opening but superelegant, masculine, warm, classy and seductive and with a sweet, modern vibe in the drydown.

Bright, different, fresh and golden.
I have never had so many “compliments” as the days I used Soleil de Jeddah. By the end of the afternoon I received compliments on the scent I had been using since the morning.
Flowers and fruits mix around combining acidic fruits with leather and smoky earth. At the same time complex and strong.
It has a bright and fresh start. A kaleidoscope in constant change of chords.
There is also a spicy flavor that is fresh and sweet.
There is a pleasant prominence of chamomile and the fruity and velvety touch of Osmanthus.
The leather base is dark, thick and lightly smoky, with dry woody nuances, and softens with amber and vanilla.
An unusual combination of notes, especially if we consider it as a whole. Bright, different, fresh and golden.
Summer in a bottle. A rural hillside dotted with yellow and wild flowers with some lilies peeking out from a valley where a stream lined with lemon trees runs at the bottom.
Many birds sing in tune, accompanying a dance of butterflies with colors that no longer exist.
Joy, serenity and well-being are present.

A warm breeze at the end of a summer afternoon
One of the 2 winners of the 1st prize in the independent category of the Art and Olfaction Awards 2024 on the 6th of June.
I'm delighted. I don't find similarities to any other known fragrance.
A golden aroma centered on leather/suede that opens with Cardamom, Rum and Davana with purple notes of currant and dates.
Boozy, sweet and at the same time green and spicy. Without a doubt one of my greatest discoveries this year.
Solar, exotic and sophisticated.
It reminds me of a landscape with palm trees waving their branches to the rhythm of a warm breeze at the end of a summer afternoon. Or a moonlit walk along a tropical beach.
Exceptional.
