Absolutely out of this world!!! Love at first sniff and it just gets better and better as it drys down. A wonderful fragrance that is very similar to Dior Fahrenheit due to that violet note but there's so much else going on its quite different and somehow fresher...like a sparkling champagne Fahrenheit almost if that makes sense. Lalique have some very impressive and complex fragrances amongst their range. I think YSL L'Homme Libre cologne tonic has a similar vibe but paler by comparison. Update: Woo hoo! 8 people concure with my YSL comparison in 12 hours...They truly are close and have a real quality, when you try them side by side you realise the differences...but both are niche quality compositions and if you like violet and want a change from Fahrenheit these are the best two out there. I still prefer this though it just has an added magic.
Weirdest thing! Been wearing this for a while now and saw the oud note on here but never detected it until now. Bam! There it is..a really subtle oud note behind the sparkly violet and musk and a sweeter nature I've never picked up on before. A hint of tonka prehaps too? This stuff was highly prized in my collection anyway but I have a new found appreciation for it. I'm really surprised I could pick up on more in this fragrance after so many wears I really thought I'd gotten to know it. Just goes to show it can happen at anytime.
