Cepes and Tuberose Aftelier for women and men

At first it smelled a lot of tuberose and dirt. Then in morphed into something so lovely. It reminds me New Orleans jazz, or a private library with fresh cut flowers. The mushroom is evocative of the way a vintage book smells and the floral notes are well balanced. I can't stop smelling myself.

Well, well, what a strange bird we have here. i applied a VERY small amount. maybe .1 ml, as my sample did not contain much of this potent mixture. It is a strong scent upon first application, and my first whiff gave me a very strong noseful of dirt, patchouli, and yes, mushroom. Five minuits in Cepes & Tuberose lost much of the "dirtiness" and has morphed into a very beautiful odd perfume. The rosewood becomes noticeable, a sweetness and the tuberose enter the picture and yes, the mushroom is still present. Although in a different incarnation. Gone is the dirty portobello of the beginning, and now the mushroom is slightly sweet smelling as if it had been stepped on, or plucked after the sun warmed it. I know that sounds disgusting in a perfume, but somehow it works. The sun warmed rosewood, and benzoin create an earthy backdrop for the star players here, and it gives the impression that you are walking in a deciduous forest, plucked a flower to put behind your ear, and its scent keeps drifting around nicely. It mingles with the warm woods, and the scent of a briefly sun kissed bed of mushrooms, where you stepped on one, and then brought it to your nose to inhale its muskiness. Thats what this fragrance is, beautiful warm woods, slightly sweet tuberose and mushroom muskiness. Id recommend testing this if you can get your hands on it. A very odd, and oddly beautiful scent. Quite unexpected, i find myself wanting another testing. Today is cool and very damp, and it unfolded wonderfully. A must try for seekers of the strange and adventurous!

thank you loobloo for the sample!
