Buying unsniffed perfumes is the only form of gambling I indulge in.
And what a gamble!
I was very familiar with 2 other Patou offerings, the exquisitely elegant and classic Joy and 1000, and Sira des Indes threw me for a loop.
Only the house of Patou could manage to make a perfume in the fashionable fruity/oriental genre and make it something exquisite and unforgettable.
Who would ever think of banana as an elegant note, and yet in Sira des Indes it is nestled in the arms of berries and spices and resins and flowers in a way that is very unusual and yet, in its own way, subtle and elegant.
It has something irresistible, sweet and comforting yet not cloyingly gourmand, it smells like desserts and flowers and spices, and yet it still retains that something beautiful and elegant of other Patou perfumes.
I do wish it had more sillage than it does (I have the eau de parfum) and the lasting power is nothing to write home about (about 4 hours), but I can't stop sniffing my wrists when I wear it.
Wonderful!

Wanted to add that this one had over 10 hours of staying power.



However, in the process of drydown, towards the middle and finish - I swear it's the aroma of an ice cream parlor. Not just the fragrance of ice cream alone .... it's the fragrance of the whole entire parlor: fruit, marshmallow whip, sparkling clean floors, over-working a/c, everything is there.
Vanilla is here, oh yes, but so definitely an ice cream vanilla - it's chilly! how can Patou convey temperature? I can only guess.
And the fruit....these are not the ripe, heavy bananas flecked with brown from the top of your kitchen counter, nor are these the classy caramelized delicacies found in a Bananas Foster. Instead these are quite indeed the fresh, perhaps even slightly green, chilled, subdued, bananas of an ice cream split. Other fruits mix in, with the florals still shouting quite loudly, making the banana even less prominent. But they are there.
Between the heavy floral notes, the icy cold fruit, chilly vanilla, and the hints of mildest white musk anchoring things, a more appropriate name for this fragrance would be "First Date at the Ben & Jerry's". Which is actually a compliment. A great summer scent, very fun.




Nice bottle and colour of the juice.
