クレイジーなパフォーマンス。一吹きして少し洗い流し、占有する空間の空気を支配する。香りは中毒性があり、贅沢で、リッチで複雑だ。上記のすべてのノートが識別でき、むしろ大きな声で感じられる。本当に美しく、大胆な人や注目を求める人にぴったりだ。これがインタールードの鼻によるものであることは驚くべきことではない。

最近100mlのイミテーションウーマンを購入したばかりの私がこれを嗅ぐと、二つを本当に結びつけることができる。これはスケッチ版のようで、数年後に同じ調香師が同じ基本原則に基づいてアモワージュのマグナムオーパスを実現した。トム・フォードはこの構成をノワール・ド・ノワールという形で一つの頂点に持っていき、チョコレートパチョリの贅沢さに焦点を当て、アモワージュはこのアイデアが異なる結論に達するのを見た。これはジューシーでサイケデリックなブラックカラントとアルデヒドの爆発だ（ブラックオーキッドにはアルデヒドが含まれているので、探してみてほしい）。上記の香水はすべて素晴らしいが、私の心はイミテーションウーマンに留まっており、ブラックオーキッドを身に着けるとそれを着けていたいと思ってしまう。このコレクションの中で一つを選ぶなら、ブラックオーキッドパルファムを選ぶだろう。こちらは控えめで、トリュフの道をさらに進んでいるか、ヴェルヴェットオーキッドはボトルの中のクレイジーで楽しい時間だ。オーキッドソレイユにも感謝！

For nearly 200 euros, I'd expect some performance, even just moderate performance, but this is truly non-existant. Several sprays and no scent bubble, no projection, no sillage, nothing. What a con! It's a shame because the fleeting scent is exquisite, but it's gone within 10 minutes maximum.

Strong mosquito repellant... the hardcore stuff that makes your skin sticky with pungent citronella, or is it...? Yes it is, but at the same time, I do find myself going back for more. I don't necessarily dislike the smell of mosquito repellent, but do I want a very expensive perfume that instantly conjures that up? I just can't decide how I feel. Perhaps summer will change my opinion, better still, perhaps this stuff will actually deter mosquitos from feasting on me, in which case I can get on board. The thing is, as it dries down, it becomes clear that there is no citronella, it's probably the combination of geranium and anise (the latter of which is way stronger than I expected, and it's not even listed here) giving me that vibe. It's a complex fragrance, and interesting, I'm just not sure if I can bear it if someone says I smell like bug spray, and it seems inevitable. Following that, the bottle will sit there unused reminding me I spent too much money on it, even though it was discounted. I realise I'm confused. It's a confusing fragrance. Update: After several wears, of course I love it, it's magic! I think this is a thing with Tom Ford perfumes. They're not mass appeal, so it takes consideration to appreciate them. I must say I've yet to find one I didn't love, even if I wouldn't wear them all.

My experience is that perfumes with amazing performance smell overpowering and often quite rank. Not so with OL EDP. One spray on the neck gives me beautiful, radiant projection, even in terrible weather, without being overbearing. This will last forever. Everyone here is on about new car smell, I don't get that. New car smell is industrial, headache-inducing and plastic, this is floral, delicate and soft.

Smells like food. I'm even getting garlic. Very bizarre

ゲランブティックで全てのアブスリュ・ド・オリエントのカードストリップを手に入れた後、私はウード・エッセンシエルを執拗に嗅いでいました（ただし、これだけではありません）。それで、サンプルをもらうために戻りました… 私はそれを愛しているのか、着るのが不可能な気がするのか、葛藤しています。多分、私はそれを愛していると思います。ここがポイントです… オープニングは、ひどく攻撃的な古い教会のランプが顔にぶつかってくるようなもので、最悪ですが、約5分後にはバラの香りが出てきて、全体が柔らかくなり、魅力的なウードとフローラルノートの美しい温かい封筒になり、素敵なレザーの背骨が加わります。これは強さとパフォーマンスの面で古典的だと言えるでしょう。つまり、肌にスプレーしたくないほどです。代わりに、前方にスプレーして、その雲の中に裸で歩いて入っていくのが良いでしょう。公共の場で周りの人をガス攻撃したくはありません。

Exquisite, expensive and extremely animalic with a kind of sour cheese twist; way too rich and animalic to wear. I can't imagine who would wear this, perhaps some sort of ancient, eminent game of thrones character would smell like this. In fact, the cheesey opening puts me right off, but it does calm down quickly, I just can't imagine purchasing a bottle for the near-on 300 euros it would cost, especially when Guerlain itself offers such an array of affordable, wonderful perfumes. This is for wealthy collectors, probably never to be worn, and hey, why not! Update: I now own this, and I love it. Shameful as it is to say, I've discovered (by accident) that layered with L'Interdit EDP it's a treat! (I know, I know).

A delicious, zesty, juice-fest with minty geranium. I have the Homme EDP, which is also wonderful, and as others have said, this has the same elements but in a totally contrasting olfactive presentation. The lime is BAM in your face, and makes me want to drink fresh lime juice. The notes that follow develop wonderfully into the dry down. Guerlain always manage to create something unique yet classic and timeless seeming, that makes me go aha yes! This is no exception. Update: I've had this a couple of years now, and the woods have become dominant. There's a suggestion of many different wood notes without any one type standing out, which I love about it. It's like standing in a woodwork shop or a very posh soap shop where everything is nestled in wood shavings in baskets. It feels piney due to the minty geranium. Love it.

This is an exquisite fragrance, leather daddy in a bottle, and I don't mean that in a fetish way, I mean like your dad in a fine leather jacket back when you were young, or at least some way more stylish version thereof. This must be what Burt Reynolds smells of. It's not macho though, just classic suave moustachio'd charm. I feel too young to be wearing it (I'm 42).

This and Blossom Love by Amouage have a surprising amount I common. I think it's the heliotrope overdose, smell them together, it's crazy.

もしバナナが合成的でありながら少しカビが生えていることが可能で、さらにその合成カビバナナが苔むした森に1、2日放置されたら、こんな香りになるでしょう。
