Love the smell of this it's a masterful blend of grapefruit citrus notes in the top, blending with a lovely calming lavender, thyme and vanilla accord. Invasion Barbare is top quality juice well executed, as it dries down I can smell the violet peeping through so all in all a nice sophisticated and safe composition. Just to get things in perspective though I think the price is utterly ridiculous and it's a rare thing for me to complain about price because I've been known to splash out silly money on fragrances I love. However non of the MDCI Parfum's I've tried with the exception of Cuir Garamante have been show stoppers and that's important when it comes to parting with so much cash. The resin busts are very cool and I have to admit I desperately want one for my collection but they're a total rip off £240 for 60ml Bust version flacon. My dilemma is between the similarly priced Cuir Garamante and By Killian Incense Oud which at least has a re-fillable and very nice flacon which comes in a beautiful lockable box. I'm usually not motivated by 'frills' but sometimes collecting is as much about style as it is about substance. Update: This fragrance is a very enjoyable experience I've had a lovely wear from it today and I've now exhausted my sample. I respect this juice for it's elegance and development over several hours it's just what I needed today a breath of fresh air. Really quiet on the sillage front but surrounded me in a gentle mist of complex sophistication. Lovely stuff but still not a show stopper, I can understand why people love it though.
