Metal (for women)

Chat Lunatique

This is a long time favorite of mine because nothing on Earth smells at all like it.

As for the name, I don't find it especially metallic (Calandre is much more metallic, in fact.).
I would describe it as oily... greasy, even, but not as an aspersion.
Imagine, if you will: herb-infused oil, marinating a slice of raw beef, saturating its butcher paper... being opened by perfectly manicured, perfumed, graceful hands.

Sound good yet? Well, it is.

Metal is very sexy, and beefy, and green.

I think it would smell delicious on a man.

Exquisite fragrance ! Metal is intense, dry, vivid, cutting, clear, dewy, lofty, refined, and -a touch herbacous. This is an extremely "modern" scent, and simultaneously, such a natural, true, classic, pure floral! The written description of notes here in the database varies greatly from the pictures of notes shown. I must agree more with the photo description of notes. The Aldehydes are a magnificent but small touch; not heavy or prominent, as in other perfumes; yet adding so much enjoyment and pleasure. There is a whisper of Galbanum mixing in with blooming fresh white flowers. The Cyclamen, and Iris, add a sense of playfulness to the white flower notes. The Ylang Ylang, Amber, Sandalwood, Musk, and Oak Moss give the perfume depth and weight so that it just does not disappear. One can enjoy all the flowers from a far with good sillage, and appreciate the excellent base when moving in close to the skin.

Metal is a bitter green floral with silvery overtones, like the shiny hood ornament on a sleek European car. It smells expensive, chic, and utterly heartless. I love it.

This was the very first perfume i fell in love with. I was nine years old when it launched and smelled like white flowers with fresh basil and lemon. Wow! Still wear it to put me in a romantic mood.

This one is spelled wrong. It's not Metall. But that aside, this perfume is a very green-y floral, that reminds me very closely of Cristalle EdT. It has the same sharp bergamot opening and a lovely green-y floral drydown. A bright chypre that puts me in a sunny disposition.
