This is one of my most anticipated scents this year (also looking foward to the new Neela Vermeire).

Then again they had discontinued some of their most "bold" ones, such as Tubereuse, Eau de Monsieur (now re-issued, but citrus-ed up) etc. <br />"Fertiliser" is a great comment, hadn't come across that one before, noting it down!

I is classical, M is a very elegant masculine leather, Opardu is elegiac floral with a fine lilac in there and Black is worth sampling for sure. <br />I can't say that the prices are very indicative of me owning more than my current bottle right now (will have to rely on samples etc.) but if given a chance later on I wouldn'Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-30010778279290573102013-10-03T00:26:01.763+01:002013-10-03T00:26:01.763+01:00I cannot afford Puredistance but I very much enjoy...I cannot afford Puredistance but I very much enjoyed your review. I'm disappointed to hear that Mon Parfum Cherie, par Camille flopped. I'm afraid its patchouli made it hard for me to wear, and indeed that is the perfume that had a colleague of mine wondering where the scent of fertiliser was coming from. But it was a magnificent piece of work.

I get much of what you do from Black; it actually reminds me a lot of Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque, while still very much being its own unique scent. I'm diggin' it! Also, I think Puredistance was smart to go with Antoine Lie for this type of composition (Secretions Magnifique aside, I love a number of his scents, especially CdG Daphne).Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-45422396239716542332013-10-02T13:24:01.748+01:002013-10-02T13:24:01.748+01:00I honestly feel it has good lasting power, though ...I honestly feel it has good lasting power, though the sillage is modest. But really it is always a matter of personal sampling. I think the patchouli-vetivers can be good when tastefully done and not too sweet.
