I've smelt this a bajillion times before. If you're gonna do Rose Oud, make it stand out, make it mean something. This is no better or worse than countless other samesy same perfumes zzzzzzz.

Headache-inducing ambroxan. Very similar to the equally horrible Eau de Citron Noir by Hermès. Lemon and ambroxan, nothing else.

Hay bastantes fragancias de PG que huelen a varios productos de limpieza, y dentro de eso hay varias que huelen específicamente a productos de baño, y esta es (redoble de tambores)... ¡pastillas de inodoro! De hecho, me gusta bastante el olor, pero, ¡dios mío!, no quiero oler a eso. Solo me gusta cuando mi baño huele así.

No, no es fresco y brillante, es un poco opaco y turbio, no es un patchouli agradable. Creo que el almizcle es el culpable aquí, o quizás demasiada madera pesada.

Más como higo con arcilla y/o pistacho en lugar de caviar, pero el efecto general es bastante marino. Muy interesante y único. Quizás sea mi fragancia de higo favorita. Captura y utiliza cada aspecto del higo de manera efectiva, creando un paisaje cautivador e intrigante. Rocío un poco más, y ahora puedo entender un poco lo del caviar. Hay metal, sangre y sal que se vuelven casi más prominentes, pero tengo la impresión de que este es un aspecto del higo, un fragmento de la nota (lo siento) ;D Es una compra a ciegas que no lamento, un perfume extraño y fascinante que puede que use o no fuera de casa.

I left this alone for a few months, and now I've come back to it and discovered two things: 1) despite the notes, it's better in cold weather, because, much like Cologne Indélébile, the base musks are too strong for summer, and the powerful nature of the perfume works wonfefully in the cold. 2) there is bubblegum after all. It's salty-sweet, warm and savoury. Basically, I love this perfume and can't believe I'd somewhat written it off. And it's STRONG. Go easy.

Considering this is cheaper than table wine, and considering how many are whingeing on here about performance, I actually think it's spectacular value. It's so cheap you can bathe in it, and it's the be all and end all of cologne scents to me in terms of balance, freshness and shimmer.

Another Pierre Guillaume which immediately serves me window cleaning chemicals. It's like a bad version of Lys Méditerranée.

Nauseatingly horrible. Like some mouldy old rose leaves were used to wrap up some mouldy old mackerel, then dried and turned into pot pourri. Or perhaps some prawns were left in some dishwater that was then used in a vase with some rotting roses left in it. Off doesnt even come close. I honestly think this is the most disgusting perfume I've ever smelt, I'm having a visceral reaction to it, and the seafood rot won't wash off. I've now solidified my opinion that the 90 sample set is a game of Russian Roulette where I'm at least 70% likely to hate what I smell. Lesson learnt. Today I dared revisit it again, and just like with many PG scents, at the opening I'm like "oh it's not that bad", then 2 mins later I start to get the gross, musky fish smell again. Truly awful, especially when there are so many other perfumes that do this so much better... Love Chopard for example, which is dirt cheap and wonderful.

What a wondeful composition! Spent fireworks, resinous amber, wafting smoke and delicate vanilla. It's 100% linear, but who cares. Too notch scent with perfect performance.
