Base Notes
It reminds me a lot Organza Indecence...sweet woody oriental spicy :) Love it!
*coffee note -it smells wonderful coffee in there as gesch suggested
Starts out very sweet, like sugar and mango syrup, with a slightly woody edge. The dry down reminds me a bit of Breathe Romance Sensual Amber by BBW, which is discontinued and I happen to love. Lasts for several hours on me. I like it!
I expected great things after reading the reviews here and was certainly not dissapointed!! This perfume is FANTASTIC! ;'D It is warm, spicey, mildly powdery, sweet, somewhat fresh, green and damn sexy. I LOVE IT!! This one lasts long and has a lovely aura. I think it would be ideal for Autumn and Winter but you might be able to pull it off during the summer if used sparingly. ANyway, if you are looking for a sweet and spicy fragrance with a twist then give this one a sniff. ;')
You ladies loving this one, try the gorgeous Cavalli her! They share a LOT of notes, Charles Jourdan The Parfum and Cavalli Her!!
My new crush! Absolutely beautiful from start to dry-down.. you wont be disappointed!
I just love the mango/coffe/green/patchouly+resin (thanks nyoka for your review:says it all)- it's unique and so well constructed! A delight!
And since this is getting more and more hard to find in the EU and even fragranceX doesn't have this anymore, I just bought myself a backup-bottle to have the opportunity to enjoy it just a bit longer...
All of the reviews pretty much sum up this scent really well, a grown up gourmand, reminiscent of Flowerbomb but possibly a bit less sickly and slightly more powdery. I got a sample of this but now Im getting a full bottle. Very sexy.
I got this in a trade with malgria.It is one of those scents u want to keep sniffing.I love the beginning kiss of bamboo,but then I love bamboo,the spices all bounce off each other and make a mouth watering pie.THen theres the best to come.Creamy sweet coffee that drips over the woody accords and relaxes you and puts u in the mood for just about anything!Truly,a sexy female fume.
A bottle of this was included in a recent bulk buy I made; I sniffed the bottle and thought it was too powdery so I put off giving it a try until today. What a pleasant surprise! I get the creamy coffee notes quite well, which makes me very happy as I love coffee notes in scents. On my skin this is a soft, rich and warm coffee-amber scent, yet very, very feminine; perhaps that is the Iris and Peach coming through? Whatever it is, I LOVE it!
Just for you ladies thinking based on the notes, this would not be your thing. There are some essential notes missing here, for example almond and coffee!! NOT UNIMPORTANT TO KNOW!!

This perfume is something alright!! Interesting to see that someone already linked it to Flowerbomb, but the perfume that comes most close to it is Sonia Rykiel original in the EDP concentration (my favorite).
Highly recommended!!
Action
Sweet patchouli.
It reminds me of Flowerbomb with its pink gourmandy hue, but at the same time manages to surprise with a liberal dusting of spices. I'd say The Parfum is for those with a Sophisticated sweet tooth.
Also, I feel like there are more spice notes than listed. For instance, I get an apple-cider-type of Cinnamon and a faint wisp of mint underlining the basil. It's a very complicated and WARM bouquet of patchouli leaves and spices, too sweet and feminime to be mistaken for unisex.
Such a bold and exotic scent disguised in lipid pale pink. Do give it a try if you want a grown-up nighttime gourmand.
I'm revisiting this one and I still hold to the weird-but-likable vote. It's sexy in that it's warm and rides close to the skin with wisps of fragrance floating up to surprise you like a kiss on the back of the neck. Today it failed to become masculine on me, staying mostly musky resin and coffee, with that faint flirt of fruit that never overwhelms like so many loud fruity scents now popular. So yes, it is sexy. Should it be pink and wear such a girly bottle? No. Do I really like it? Yes.
I don't know about sexiest fragrance in the world, but it's nice. It goes on very very loud and brash, but dries down quickly into resins, coffee, fruit and amber, all sort of rolled together like some exotic incense. Then an almond peach vibe creeps in, still spiced with that dry incense feeling (though there's never any smoke or fire here) and fades into ultimate dry down as tobacco and soap. Huh? It's not bad at the end, but it is weird. Masculine and very like English Leather. I don't really understand the progression on this one. It goes from a more feminine perfume to a masculine cologne. Of course, it's very very nice getting there, but...odd.
it's just amazing. i bought it for my mum and i'm so sorry i didn't for myself. it's delicious and its scent lasts all day long. wonderful one!
Charles Jourdan manages to take the gourmand notes out of the kitchen and into the bedroom. It is voluptuous, fruity, creamy and definitely sexy. The tag line for this fragrance is "The sexiest fragrance in the world"!
