Stoned Solange Azagury-Partridge for women

This is, for the first few seconds, a natural-smelling mix of herbs, flowers, and strong vanilla. Within a couple of minutes an indolic, animalic musk joins the party and skanks around, competing with powdery roses and super-sugary vanilla.

The musk (or whatever it is) reminds me of an open grey-water drain that I encountered once as a child. Not quite an open sewer, but it’s that sort of idea, for dishwater, bath water, everything except the excrement. If that greywater drain is the smell of the “diamond dust” that’s allegedly in the mix, I think I’ll pass.

Come on people. Diamond dust? You’ve got to be kidding. Since when does diamond dust have an odor? But that leads me to a theory. Maybe during diamond cutting and polishing, the tools are water-cooled, and there’s runoff with a tiny bit of diamond dust in it. Maybe this runoff was collected and dumped into the perfume. Maybe it did fester and develop foul odors while waiting to go into the perfume vat. In any case, after an hour or so all that’s left is a light rosy-powdery-vanilla scent reminiscent of baby powder or the scent that’s put in disposable baby diapers. OK, I’ll cross this one off my list. Just as well, since it’s ridiculously expensive.

Musky, yet spicy. Slightly powdery. Don’t get much citrus or sharp notes. Not as heavy as I anticipated, fragrance has a softness to it due to the bourbon vanilla. Nice, I like it. Really expensive!

I have ordered sample of this quite randomly and only read some reviews here and at the "luckyscent.com" after, but since most of them were quite critical, I didn't expect much from this fragrance. Got it today and even thought I have some kind of cold or flu or whatever and a blocked/runny nose, I really wanted to test some of the new samples, so I have decided to try this one. And what a gorgeous surprise! Whether it's because my nose has only limited capacity to smell right now or because the samples cannot be sprayed properly (instead one achieves only dainty smears with that tiny plastic "toothpick"), I certainly don't get any burning, acidic, stingy sensation! I would not say that it's heavy either. What I get is very pleasant spices (even though they are not listed here), posh and also expensive, and it is all quite rich, exquisite and delicious. Before I checked the price of this stuff, I was thinking: "to me, this is a very refined, interesting compossion...but not overly mature - in fact I think this could suit to people of various ages for various occasions...I can imagine that this is a very flexible fragrance that changes on each individual"... Myself - I could easily start feeling like a diva! :-D Well...the price has shocked me though! LOL. So unless I desperately want to get rid of some money, I would not purchase this myself. :-)

Spicy... this one gives a little buzz.
It's a stingy little bite in your nose, that makes want to sneeze and squint. Quite stimulating. Later on it mellows out, and is creamy and dreamy. The vanilla is prominent. I wish it lasted longer and was a tad stronger.

This is an extremely heavy and smothering fragrance. I don't feel that the notes are well-balanced at all. I could only slightly enjoy it after wearing it for FOUR HOURS!

That being said, for the first few hours, this literally burned my nose. I don't know what, but something in this scent was very, very overpowering and dominated everything else. My guess would be the labdanum, or maybe just the mixture of labdanum with oakmoss. Underneath this, I could somewhat detect some vanilla and rose with a bit of jasmine. I waited, and restrained myself from scrubbing...

Shortly before bed I realized it wasn't nearly as strong and, for lack of a better word, toxic! I sniffed my arm and could smell a lot of bourbon vanilla with some rose and a little bit of jasmine. Even though this was much more pleasant than before, I still wasn't very impressed...the vanilla was too spicy and the rose wasn't sweet enough for me.

I was hoping to like either Cosmic or Stoned, but I guess this company just isn't for me...both of these fragrances need to be sampled first!

I like the bottle but unfortunately this is not for me. Very strong notes of Spice that I do not care for. Please try this one before you buy. Heavy and on the Dark side...

ok but what does this smell like bottle aside

ha! i agree with aeternitas...tell me that you don't know a stoner or two that would love to turn this bottle into a bong...for real

I just couldn't hold back from commenting the bottle. Hehe, it's just hideous, it makes me want to try this perfume. I think it's called stoned because of gems (Diamonds, precious stones) but it looks more like someone has been smoking weed or went on a crazy acid trip and got flat-out stoned. Wild bottle!
