'The Sexiest Scent on the Planet. Ever. (IMHO)' - 4150Tuesdays.
"Soft, sweet and unintrusive, this really is the sexiest scent on the planet. Well, according to one journalist who first sampled it in its earliest form.
Formulated for a special Gin-based event in London, this scent was initially a smooth base that was tweaked with juniper berries, lemons and other fresh botanicals often found in the end of G&T. However, it soon became apparent to perfumer Sarah McCartney that the base worked best on its own."
Midori (Kyoto Edition) - Florascent
A secret tryst on a warm summers night in the sumptous gardens of the Imperial Palace where the heady scent of flowers are carried in the balmy air.
An oriental fragrance of sensuality and deep desire.
Top: bergamot, mandarin wild, subtle flowers. Heart: tuberose, orange blossom, frangipani, jasmine Champacca and Japanese. Base: powdery-woody facets of Cedar, Vetyver and Katsura.
Being not a huge fan of oriental fragrances - this is interesting. Its soft green citrus notes begin the journey through a japanese garden, highlighted by the jasmine notes which run throughout - rose and blossom floral mid notes make it fresh and enjoyable. A warmed cotton-candy finish makes this fragrance unique and is growing on me.
Seductive - Boadicea The Victorious
"Seductive is without doubt one of the most popular Eau de Perfumes in the collection. It is a strikingly physical fragrance, oozing charm and sophistication in an elegant manor. Seductive does not over impose, but softly lingers with memorising presence. The menthol top notes dissipate to reveal a glorious musk and amber base that glides on the skin in an intimate fashion. This scent always achieves its intention, seducing both wearer and follower alike.
"The result is an uncomplicated but sensual fragrance; the velvety touch of an intriguing molecule called Iso E Super, the subtle citrus of bergamot and a highly secret blend for added woodiness. "
A gentle blend of ingredients that would not take away from the more distinctive gin botanicals. Bergamot was chosen for a soft citrus note which really works ending with individual aromatic woods - highlighted by sensuous animalic notes of musk and ambergris.
Seductive is a fragrance full of refined personality, set to enchant the hearts of all that encounter. Seductive is a fragrance enjoyed by both genders equally. It is a soft and well rounded fragrance that is simply divine."
Top Notes: Menthol, Iris. Middle Notes: Rosemary, Fir. Base Notes: Sandalwood, Musk, Amber
A fresh balsamic start - strong herbal notes of rosemary keep the freshness. Musk, aromatic patchouli and sandalwood give a smooth spice core than gradually softenes on the skin. A fabulous fragrance that suits many tastes.
Skin Petals - Illuminum
A fruity floral that’s as light as air. This fragrance manages to mimic the honeyed glow of skin itself. Opening with the succulence of apple blossom and wild berry it mellows into a duo of fragile blooms: lily of the valley and violet recalling a fruited nosegay. At its base is white amber adding the sensuality of flesh to these vibrant accords.
Top notes: Apple Blossom, Blackcurrant, Heart: Jasmine, White Iris, Base notes: Musk, White Amber.
Quite compote sweet, with candied floral notes. Normally this would be far too sweet but, there is a clever bit of alchemy here which makes this fragrance with the added amber and musk notes quite a delight. Light, classic and flowery but a strong touch of modernity.
Not A Perfume (allergen-free) - Juliette has A Gun
"This is not a perfume in the classic sense as it is a single note, and a single note that you do not know how it will smell until you wear it. This unique fragrance is only composed of one note; Ambroxan, this gives it a special quality because it enhances the wearers natural smell so it is different for every person."
"As a single note it is hard to place as it seems to oscillate; evoking velvet, cream, warmth and musk, Ambroxan has been described as smelling like skin. It also smells diffent on each skin."
This is simply beautiful. The amber note of Ambroxan - which is a material used in a wide range of applications, including florals and orientals. The material adds warmth and depth to a fragrance. Used solely on its own like this it is total seduction – warm and sensual and lingers on the skin for a very long time. Beautiful.
