Secrete Datura Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier for women

I'm not a big floral lover, but this one was rather nice. The opening was darker and less floral than the middle and base notes and I admit, that was my favorite part. It was not bad for a floral though, not bad at all. It's certainly a grown-up (NOT aged-lady) floral, heady and elegant and seductive. I didn't smell any chocolate, but Iris and datura and vanilla where definitely there. Lasting power was very good. A single spritz lasted for almost 6-8 hours on my skin.

I've just smelt this...and I've fallen in love!!! It starts with the notes of muguet and jasmin, but soon turns into a beautiful, bright, powdery smell (on my skin, I can mostly smell heliotrope, and maybe vanilla). It seems a fragrance with two souls: the sweet floral and the tender powdery one. If you like fragrances like Heliotrope by Etro or Heliotrope blanc by Piver, or also Douceur de vanille by Les nereides, I think this is the perfect spring fragrance for you (and for me, of course ;) ).

A plain white lemony floral.
I'm hardly ever repelled by a perfume, but this one is quite awful.
I didn't think I'd ever say this about a fragrance, but it smells like toilet or cheap soap for me. Sorry!
Fortunately, doesn't last long and the sillage is poor.

I have sampled now several MPG perfumes and I have to say this; Secrete Datura is absolutely the Best One. My Favourite. And also One of them favourites in my whole collection. I just Love this.

First I was not too sure about this one. First half an hour I smelled something too powdery to my taste (guess it is the heliotrope), nothing fresh like lily of the valley or lemon.

Then the frag started settling down unfolding its notes. There is the vanilla and there is the chocolate. Not exactly the dark, chocolate-cake chocolate but more like a tamed, powdered chocolate. My first idea was that it is a faint chocolate but that would have been a negative adjective whereas there is nothing negative about this one.

It is quite adorable, but do not expect much of those white flowers/iris at any stage.

A very beautiful addition to any orange blossom lover's collection and a downright gorgeous floral.

Secrete Datura was the first MPG I bought and it is a heady and intoxicating brew of lush florals. What separates SD from others is its lush green foliage that never leaves the composition and envelopes the flowers in an unravelling trellis of vetiver and dewy leaves.

It is a fragrance that Rapaccini's daughter could have worn and still inhabited a normal world without losing her mystery and magic. A beauty.
