Tarragon refreshes a cinnamon spicy middle note and its dominant accord of vetiver wood and patchouli. A honeyed and leathery accord softens the very animalic end note.

VERY IRRESISTIBLE FOR MEN

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:14:16 +0100

An olfactory prism with a green, fruity opening of mint and grapefruit. The heart showcases sesame seed and a mouthwatering mocha note. In the drydown, the sweetness of hazelnut wood is wed to the sensuality of Virginia cedar.

Basil, rosemary, tarragon, tangerine and neroli bring a sense of freshness to this eau de toilette which is otherwise particularly warm, given its woody scent (gaiac wood) mixed with benzoin and vanilla. A final note of bitter almond gives it the quality of gingerbread.

Pi Neo

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:04:34 +0100

Pi Neo is described as a bright, woody neo-composition. The scent opens with cool and clean notes of citrus. The woody middle notes mix Texas cedar and patchouli on an amber-y base of vanilla. Among its ingredients, Pi Neo also uses three patented ‘captives’ that offer modern sensations : Toscanol (‘a sharp, cool, metallic note of anise’), Safraleine (a spicy leather note), and Cosmone (a fluid musky ambergris note). Perfumer : Antoine Lie, Givaudan.

Absolutely Irrésistible

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:39:02 +0200

Very Irrésistible’s rose/star-anise composition yields to a white-floral bouquet built around jasmine. Red berries and red peppercorns add a touch of red, echoing the bottle’s hue. The warmer trail blends patchouli, cedar and amber.

ange ou démon

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:19:31 +0200

A subtle, multi-facetted, paradoxical fragrance blending vertiginous sensuality with sweetness and light. The sweetly sparkling top note reveals Calabrian mandarin orange associated with notes of white thyme and saffron. In the heart, traditionally opulent lily is presented with a light, delicate touch and associated with waves of Maxillaria orchid and the ‘captivating exoticism’ of ylang-ylang. The trail unites two wood notes: the creaminess of palissander wood and the density of oak-wood absolute. The enveloping sensuality of tonka bean and vanilla close the fragrance. Fragrance designers: Jean-Pierre Bethouart and Olivier Cresp, Firmenich.

VERY IRRESISTIBLE

In addition to the 35% rose, the perfume brings together sunny notes like star anise and verbena leaf. Fresh and energetic, this vibrant juice is meant to surprise and seduce, playing on all the subtle variations on the theme of roses.

Amarige Mariage

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:15:15 +0200

The sparkling top notes include bergamot and bitter orange. Then comes a floral heart of magnolia, Egyptian jasmine and Ceylon cinnamon bark. The sensual chypre oriental drydown mixes Siam benzoin, sandalwood, and patchouli.

Amarige

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 16:11:21 +0200

Composed of a bouquet of yellow flowers, centred around mimosa, with orange notes from neroli and orange blossom, tuberose, and black currant and gardenia, lightened with a touch of rosewood.
A warm woody cashmerande end note mingling with soft musk anchors this floral bouquet.
