What can I say, when I tried this on I ran to the liquor cabinet and pulled out the Triple sec, smells a lot like it! Very sweet orange liquer.

A lovely green floral. Spice, incense, tobacco. An unusal combination that remind me of eau de Givenchy but a little less perfumey. I want to give this one a go.

This smells very masculine to me, not my usual scents. Interesting but not my style.

This is definitely exotic. Unfortunately, I have to say the scent has a strong hint of "curry" on me, which means it's spicy, with some herbs in the mix. Yucks.

This fragrance simply defies description. Had I not known what the notes were from previous reviews, I wouldn't know where to begin. To my nose, this is a melange of wood, moss, and nuts, with a...

Like tigrushka, I'd compare this to Sous le Buis- Sève Exquise being the lusher, sweeter variation, with a faint underlay of spice. But as with SlB, for me there is a persistent men's-cologne thing...

What a gorgeous, quiet, gentle scent. My favorite of the Gobin-Daudés so far. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I don't smell anything particularly bitter here, nor is this scent "dry" in the...

This is a lovely, gentle green fragrance, with its freshness balanced by a honeyed note. I really like it, but I don't think I'll purchase it for two reasons. One, it's so delicate it's almost like...

The wearing of Jardins Ottomans brings to mind Mediterranean pastries made with the most natural, aromatic ingredients. Generally, I eschew edible fragrances, but Jardins Ottomans enticed me one...

Sweet powdery orange sorbet, riskily underscored with a trace of exquisitely filthy patchouli: hair's-breadth close to armpit and ashtray, but masterfully tamed, breathtakingly balanced. This is...

This turned awful on me and I wanted to wash it off. it smelt musty and like bad odour. I recently tried it in Le Printemps. I had to go to SL and spray Datura Noir to cover ir up.

As a perfume, I find Biche dans L'Absinthe really weird. It smells exactly like a cup of Eastern medicinal tea, which smells and tastes rather odd and foul, albeit is very effective. With that...

Gorgeous--like eating an orange glace (or the scent of the orange part of a 50/50 bar) with a good bit of wood thrown in (and a dash of patchouli at the end). And I don't mean gaggy, sweet, cheap...

I cannot praise this one enough. I'd give it six lipsticks if I could. The cumin in the opening notes does create a savory, foody impression, but it is balanced in the drydown by sweeter, resiny...

Love this one. The petitgrain lends a pleasing bitterness that balances the sweet, citric, and floral notes perfectly.

I agree with Victoria that this scent reminds me of the Mediterranean. For me, it conjures up images of the Middle Eastern/North African side of that sea. I think this is because the drydown of...

I have been hearing all sorts of wonderful things about this hard-to-find fragrance. When one of our MUA friends, Sablouwho, informed us that a small bath and body shop in Santa Monica called...

Jardins Ottomans combines the freshness of citrus and the richness of damp earth. It has the same kind of earthiness as Voleur de Roses, but instead of plums and roses there are lemon and orange...
