Sentiers de Cometes by Yeye

 Yet another sample purchased from Indigo, this is a marvel of olfaction.

It's not an overly warm day, which I think contributes to my enjoyment of the composition. The florality has a root beer quality and reminds me of Hypnotic Poison by Dior but with a more ethereal nature. She is a tease, and her attention is on you.

Not necessarily a fit with the current fad of freshie and my skin but better scents. But classics are always in style.

That said, it will never be in style for me since I am apparently allergic to this one too. Sadness.

From ScentSplit:

This flirtatious fragrance is composed of Baies Rose, Italian Mandarin, Lavender Absolute, Italian Bergamot, with hints of Carrot Seed, coalescing into a succulent bouquet of Orange Blossoms, Lilac, Jasmine, amidst an enriched blend of Tonka Bean and Vanilla Planifolia. At the base are exotic notes of Ambergris, Incense, and Tonkin Musk, resulting in a sensation of sensually moist skin.

Release Year: 2015

Concentration: Eau de Parfum

Nose: Ernesto Sanchez Bujanda

Notes:

Top notes: Italian Mandarin, Carrot Seeds, Cumin and Baie Rose.

Middle notes: Tonka Bean, Orange Blossom, Lilac, Jasmine and Vanilla.

Madame M by Astrophil and Stella

I got my sample off Indigo Perfumery, some time ago. I could not recall much about the scent or why I had not worn it much.

It's an extra breezy, almost windy, sunny day here today. Cool and comfortable weather. On first spray, Madame M had a fascinating florality that made me think of the incense and candle isle of a natural foods store. Pleasant but difficult to put a finger on which exactly smelled just so.

And then the coughing and the runny nose. Ah, that's right. That's why I put the sample away. I think I'll be destashing this delightful powder bomb of a scent.

"A PERFUME THAT GOES AGAINST SOCIAL CONVENTIONS, A TIMELESS EROTIC SYMBIOSIS.
MADAME M IS A VEIL OF MYSTERY, A SENSUAL AND CARNAL SCENT."
