It is warm, rich and very confident. Smokey leather, spice and golden sweetness. I didn't care for it the first time I tried it, but gave it another shot and am so happy that I did. The dry down is seductive....wow!

I don't like it at all.


As I had never experienced this scent, I was very excited to try it. I enjoy other "leather" scents, such a "La Nuit" and "Tenere" by Rabanne, "Or Black" by Morabito, and "Bandit" by Piguet. I was enchanted by the listed notes of leather, carnation, lime blossom, iris, vetiver, ylang-ylang, cedar, patchouli, vanilla, ambergris, & musk combining to create an image of tobacco leaves, vanilla, & leather.
So, imagine my surprise when I opened the bottle expecting the grand seduction of my life....and got carnation. Lots of it, carried by powder. SO much that it approached clove in character. This dominated all else, I could barely detect the Caron base in there. The spice keeps up for the first hour or so, then it mellows as the superb fixatives of musk and especially ambergris take over. I find the base more tolerable, but, still, nothing compelling. It is a supple fragrance that clings to the skin. Other than the spice, it does not shout, as I expected that it would. I agree that it could be worn by a man; it reminds me of some of the sweeter scents my grandfather used to wear. Maybe I set my hopes too high for this perfume, and cannot approach it objectively?
This is the third or fourth time I have tried this bottle, under different conditions, with the same effect. To note, it appears to have been well-kept, and hardly used at all. Evaporation is minimal, and the other Caron perfumes from this coffret are correct in character. I assume that this is not an "off" bottle, but instead, that I am the only person on this planet not to favor this legendary scent.

warm,spicy and oh so flapper...
for its time a very androgynious scent that was often inspiration for later scents but got never even approximately reached. the grandeur of real chic.
there nothing else to it
