It's one of those fragrances you try and you know one day you're gonna have it in your collection!

A different take on fougere style I would say. It starts fougery with lavander, thyme, bergamot, violet leaf then ginger, cardamom, vanilla, musk and patchouli tough I cannot detect it at all. So if you're not a fan of patchouli, you don't need to be affraid to try or even buy this! And then after a while musky vanilla is starting to pop out! Really divine, masculine and clean fragrance! Most prominent notes are lavander, cardamom, violet leaves and vanilla.

Lasting power is 8-9 hours on my skin and sillage is in between moderate and heavy, like, people will notice you wear it but it won't be tacky but at the same time will interest ones around you. Also, great for formal occasions for the confident people with strong character.

"We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel. It's on the ocean I guess you know it well. It took a starry night to steal my breath away. Down on the waterfront her hair all drenched in spray".- The Rolling Stones - Memory Motel

Yes! Memory Motel by @unenuitnomade is tribute to those restless and turbulent times from the lives of legendary @therollingstones ?

This wonderful blend is a great representation of what I would want associate tobacco/vanilla fragrances with - a tobacco fragrance wrapped up in patchouli leaves with just a touch of vanilla, just enough, not overwhelming sweet and cloying vanilla what we see in most tobacco/vanilla fragrances these days.

I get that bergamot in the opening and sorta fine distilled boozy whiskey vibe, not exactly sure what mimic that boozy start but I know I like it! After five minutes I am starting to get that tobacco, smoke, incense, leather, oh yeah, even iris and carnation go big in the dry-down.

Longevity is 5/6 hours on my skin and with medium sillage. Great fragrance! I'm feeling like I've been partying with the rock stars. Love it! ??

It start with dance battle between black peppery cinnamon, ginger, saffron and mild citruses just to get you go. Later on I smell thyme and cypress with just a dash of incense, but not exactly the church type of one with heliotrope which transcends into warm amber-benzoin dry-down!

I am really impressed with how versatile it is! I never expected that I could wear it in high temperatures and that I would still be getting fresh whiffs of it through the day! Not dry and exhausting in warmer days! Longevity is around 5 hours on my skin and sillage is medium but best in first 2 hours.

Escapade is really a good example of a nice blended oriental, spicy-aromatic fragrance!

It reminds me of......Yeah, it definitely won't remind you of any scent you smelled before! It's that UNIQUE!

Ganymede by @marcantoinebarrois and @quentinbischperfumer is brilliant in every way! Why? First of all let's start with the name itself and the interesting connection with the notes in this composition.

In Greek mythology "Ganymede" or "Ganymedes" is a divine hero. He was described as the most beautiful of mortals so Zeus fell in love with his beauty and he abducted him up to Olympus to be his wine-pourer making him immortal.

That's very interesting to me considering that the two, most important and special notes in this scent are mineral notes and immortelle! Other notes are saffron, orpur, akigalawood, Chinese osmanthus, violet leaf and Italian mandarine.

I don't really need to speak about longevity because it's SUPERB! This scent will last all day and more! Sillage is heavy but no one will be offended by it. I guarantee!

I almost forgot to say, HUGE compliment getter!! Although I really don't care about compliments.
I wore it 10-15 times in the work place (I work in the hospital enviroment) and at family gatherings and there wasn't a time that somebody didn't ask me what am I wearing and commenting it is a beautiful fragrance. At one point, my superiors and family members begged me to write them down the name of the scent and the house! Never had such a great feedback with any other fragrance before??

Superb!

If you like rose-oud combinations, this one will leave you begging for more.

Beautiful opening with bit of a raspberry tartness and saffron with jammy rose and hint of woody smoke and not so cuminy intensive cumin while cardamom and coffee dance in the background. It's dense, dark and potent! One of my favorite winter fragrances!
This is one of the beast mode fragrances! Lasts 12h on my skin and sillage is monster, everything above 2 sprays is too much!

Julien Rasquinet made a masterpiece here and this one will definitely stay forever in my collection! Bravo!
