At last!!!! An absolute triumph from this line. This is totally unique!!! (to me at least) What a great perfume, immediately grabbed my attention and frankly the bottle is my favourite out of this collection too, being purple and leopard print or whatever? I'm so glad it's good because this collection, although not shit, has not exactly overachieved so far. I just feel it's quite difficult to describe, doesn't smell like any osmanthus I know, but I suppose has a cool, airy, powdery thing to it. It's not really very leathery either and then BAM!!!! Very, very, sleek, suede leather base after a little time. I loved it, what a fantastic perfume. So I wrote that as an initial impression and as usual it's subject to making further notes when I've worn it more. It's no surprise, but also something of a stylistic shock to me that Fleur du Mal could be made by Quintin Bisch a highly prolific perfumer at the moment, modernising and sweeping through the industry, with his sparkly, cosmic, and complex style. This is not something I immediately attributed to him, like a Bois IMperial, or Teddy or a Barrois etc.... this a totally different kettle of fish and yet no less exciting. The way he's carrying on he's going to be one of my favourite perfumers working today. I can't wait to pop this sample on again and then I probably will buy a bottle. Even if this collection yields one thing I want to buy, I judge that as something of a success, being it's that PT Barnum thing that no doubt everyone will have one they really like from DVN.
