Topic: Sweet and Spicy?

Inspired by both a fellow perfume-lover's username on this forum and my own love of the "sweet'n'spicy" fragrance variety, I thought I'd ask (and hopefully this isn't a repeat post--though I did do a search): What are your favorite niche perfumes that fall into this category?

Re: Sweet and Spicy?

You called?  haha, just kidding, not sure if there's another member with a similar name...

But as it turns out, I've noticed I actually do love sweet and spicy perfumes.  Here are my faves:

What great suggestions everyone. I put them all on my sample wishlist, which is growing very quickly! I'm relatively new to the niche side of things, so this really helped me :-D

Re: Sweet and Spicy?

An unusual response for the indie category but this:

http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.2398.jpg Gres Ambre de Cabochard

is ideally both and shockingly cheap on ebay.

I love: http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/m.2930.jpg Robert Piguet Visa 2007

which is a more 'grown up' and sleeker partner to the Gres, about £60 more expensive though. A deeply sweet and spiced masterpeice but worth giving the Gres a shot first..
