Miriam Tableau de Parfums for women

A beautiful scent which Rita Hayworth or Hedy Lamarr could have worn to a premiere - old-fashioned glamour, strong, loud and gorgeous. The florals combine well with the amber and musk, and there's a spiced tea accord that reminds me of Tauer's Une Rose Chypree, another lovely original. The drydown is quite heavenly, balmy, soft and dreamy. Yes, it's a little like Chanel No 5, but on me it's less floral, more oriental, and I really think this scent could become a classic.
The only problem I have is with what seems to me like unnecessarily complicated marketing. Living in the UK, I've never seen Brian Pera's work, and if the perfume is sold with a DVD it probably won't work in Europe, anyway. I got my sample from an American site, and I'm not sure whether Miriam is available at all in Europe. It ought to be, because I'm sure other Europeans will love it! I also don't "get" the link between films and perfume. What do they have in common? I don't want to smell like a film character, I want to smell like me, only better!
That said, I like Miriam a lot, and would one day love an FB. If I can get it.

Clean and straightforward. I have smelled scents like that before, and the closest description is Dove soap. As it wears on, it gets better and better. A lady-like scent, not off-putting, although powerful with some thickness that does not go away. It is described by others as close to Chanel No. 5, I don't get that; maybe the Eau de Toilette of Chanel No. 5 comes the closest. All in all a wearable scent. Not sure whether it will become full bottle worthy.

Poeme de Lancome has a similar feel, long lasting thickness and sameness, pleasant and guaranteed not to morph into some weird dry down.

The first thing you'll think of when you smell this is, 'that's pretty'. I"m not sure I can describe myself better, but try to imagine how you'd feel if you saw a girl on the verge of womanhood, trying her best to look 'all grown up.' Pretty.

There's a lot thrown in here, and more than anything it is an innocent, white floral. But if you sniff with a purpose you'll detect the violet and geranium, which on me is a welcomed relief. I like this earthy, green edge, it keeps things interesting. I don't get much base, vanilla standing out the most. As a Tauer it comes with the signature three toot foghorn, so apply sparingly. This is not something you'd spritz on before stepping into a crowded elevator.

I"ll wear this a few more times to see how it evolves. This is a safe fragrance that would wear well in any occasion, but I suspect we'll see more reviews on the loudness factor.

Squeeeeeeeeeeee! I got my bottle yesterday and am really excited about it! The unpacking alone is soooo exciting with the gorgeously packed box, the novelette explaining the character and the DVD... wow! what a new experience in parfumerie!
The jus itself is very elegant and still sexy without being bold or naughty. The rose is smelling slightly musky and ever so sensual and extremely feminine. Wearing it makes me feel like an extremely glamourous "old school" diva from movies like "The Last Emperor".
If you get the chance to get your hands on a sample, seize it! Miriam is highly reccomendable...

This is gorgeous! It initially smells very close to Chanel No 5, pure perfume. Then it morphs and gets a little creamier and floral. Vanillic dry down is what lasts. Total of maybe 4-5 hours.
