Love in Black (for women)

PR

Yes, KJanicki,your comparison to music's high and low tones, perhaps suits better to describe this scent..I was trying to find right words, but couldn't. Perhaps it may sound as exaggeration, but I almost got a feeling of cold sweat comming onto my forehead from those 'highs' and 'lows'.
And I can't really recollect a lot from this smell, but 'fried pistachios' would be the right word to describe this smell, because it's so unusual,there is something what not suppose to be in perfumes, and what even sort of doesn't have smell..something like fried pistacios, even if it is not, good suggestion, Vickalena, I may call a part of unidentifiable smells here -'pistachios'

I agree, it is bipolar. I get the feeling in my head like music, with a high note (sweet pale purple violet) and a low bass note (dark earthy cedar) at the same time. I put it on again today and I am loving it. Maybe it needed cooler weather.

I'm also "making rounds" near this perfume. Sure, the scent rises up an interest. It is creamy-sweet-warm, like a cup of hot French chocolate. I even "smell" chocolate notes, though I know in components of perfume there is no chocolate.

To PR
The "unpleasant note" reminds me fried pistachios. Maybe this is a spiciness, which you don't like?

Just cant get my head around this one. Very warm scent, something strange hapenning here, though warm , it is sort of bipolar to my nose. It rolls and rolls, and by the way rolls somewhere between kitchen table, then some pots with strange flowers like ficus that stand in the corner and doesn't smell, than turns around and rolls again. Some spiciness there, but don't know what it is, slightly unpleasant scent to me. The one is sure I was surprised by some weirdness

Got a sample and have been wearing it. I still get mostly strong cedar but everyone who smells me says it's sweet violet. It's growing on me. I think of it as a walk in the woods in the rain. Sit on a tree stump and smell the damp wood and the wild violets growing around your feet. I think it would be a good spring fragrance.

KJanicki

Tried it on the weekend and was disappointed. All I could smell was violet and strong cedar. Like a sweet closet. I am going to try it again though.

Unlike the sickening creation that was Love in White, this one is actually enjoyable. There is no relation between the two that you can tell. Love in Black first starts out with a strong, almost masculine violet note and settles slowly into a mix of iris, musk and cedar. I would only wear this in wintertime. It is very nice and mysterious.
