Shamsin Atelier Flou for women

Well, this is a wonderfully soft and alluring oriental - the strongest note here is definitely the labdanum, while the rose, jasmine and musk are blended well together without being easily identifiable. I can tell in all honesty that there is an incense mixed with resins here, and the flowers only appear as a light breeze brushing against the walls of a sacred and secret place. Really beautiful and quite delicate, this must be the first oriental that I find suitable for summer. Voluptuous, curvy and erotic, this scent is surely free from any sharp angles; everything is well rounded and smooth. The lasting power and silage are both just about average, like with all scents from Atelier Flou. What I love mostly about it is the natural feel it eludes, as there is nothing in here smelling synthetic, harsh, strong or man made. It reminds me a bit of Prada by Prada, as well as the Labdanum de Sevilla ( from L'Occitane ). The combination of rose, jasmine and musk recalls Chanel Coco edp. Somehow I find this more wearable, softer, less dramatic, but sexier. Recommended to all those that want the oriental mystery without all the spices and heaviness. Not completely original, but a lovely and natural interpretation of what a classical oriental should be.
