Oooo this courtesan has a cold, cold heart - it's true!

In some ways, Courtesan is Roma's odd little sister - they share a note that reminds me of cold, dry, grey slate & baked earth.

Where they differ is in their warmth & level of spice. Roma embraces you with a truly cosy & comely beauty, full of voluptuous curves & womanly charms. Courtesan knows her magnetic attraction & holds it like a steely gun to your head, keeping you at arm’s length with her chilly reserve & firey nature.

I adore spices & here they are all on show, not heavily & daringly as in Jungle, but in a refined way. I also find a distinct white pepper note that remains in the foreground throughout. Looking at the notes you may wonder where all the fruits, caramel & chocolate are: on my skin Courtesan isn’t candied, “frooty” or juicy in any way. It showcases the natural sweetness of cinnamon with its calm, dusty & dryness, echoed again in the cacao, & offers the wearer a grown up bitter-sweet berry tartness.

The base is very sensual…she knows how to please……soft musk, creamy woodsy sandalwood & a gentle amber. Yet, throughout the life of Courtesan a cold, grey blood pulses through her veins: the whole fragrance is built upon these great, grey foundations!

The longevity is good & the trail is obvious but modest, it is one if the most mysterious fragrances I own. This perfume is very unusual & well worth a try if you like distinct, dry fragrances with a cold, white heat. If you have ever read Memoirs of a Geisha I am reminded of Sayuri, the beautiful, tough Geisha with cold, blue eyes.

Such beauty held in such a cold embrace.

Courtesan is for me a perfume filled with expectancy... It is a stunnig, redheaded woman preparing herself for the amazing party she´s going to later that evening. She´s smiling to herself in the mirror while brushing her hair, she toroughly put on make-up and having troubble chosing the most striking outfit... She feels like her stomach is filled with butterflies, she look at the watch, drinking a glass of wine... Taking a last look in the mirror and then she´s off to the longed for party.

Really pretty, amazingly soft considering the notes, some gourmand feeling without being gourmand. I dont know why, but for me Courtesan is a before the party-perfume... It always manage to make me feel like I am looking forward to some funny and adventorous happening! But in my opinion a little to nice for the actual party.

Really great tough, don´t miss it!

I like Courtesan although it has a bit of a grey dull shade in her core, and i do'nt find her very seductive as the name implies.Still it's warm like a cashmere blanket and that's enough. It sarts with red berries and cloves, and little by little the floral heart of jasmine comes in the picture.In the drydown it becames woodier, but with a strange juicy feeling that is very pleasurable. I don't detect the myriad foody notes of the note's pyramid, and i kind of like it cause i wouldn't like a lot of chocolate and caramel there.

One of my all time favorites. It has foody notes, but it isn't gourmand. Rather, it suggests a beautifully made-up face, with rice powder and cream, scented lipstick and a faint perfume rising from a warm decolletage. There's definitely the suggestion of food in the vanilla/chocolate, but it is more of a perfume that ends with a scented musk. Simply delicious.
