The cinnamon, woods, and rose in the description led me to expect that Bois de Paradis would be my favorite of the DelRaes, but in fact, I don't really care for it at all. The blackberry is...

Should probably 'fess up before continuing w/ this review that I am a dyed in the wool, proudly card carrying woods fan(atic). And this is one of my top favs in that category. A stunningly...

Wonderful spicy raspberry infused musky floral w. staying power. Sexy without any little-girl overtones, yet fresh: an aristocratic french girl, fighting for the resistance, idealist/communist...

I bought this once and then sold it as the cinnamon note was almost unbearable. However, I recently purchased a decant, and am in love. The cinnamon seems to be beautifully tempered by a juicy dark...

I have this, and rarely wear it but when I do I am really astounded by it's beauty. It is a woody, spicey, fruity, very rich scent that ALWAYS gets compliments when I wear it. It is probably one of...

I would think from the reviews that I had perhaps gotten a bum sample, but I'm sure that's not the case as I received it from the very wonderful Luscious Cargo. I don't know what happens to this...

Bois de Paradis is one of those fragrances that I enjoyed sampling so much that I rushed to obtain a decant, only to now lament about making much ado about nothing. Still, it's not bad if you like...

I could literally drink this stuff. Fruity, spicy, woody, rich, deep, lingering and so very NOT mainstream. A little steep in the pricing and I probably won't re-purchase, but will enjoy it until...

The best one of the three DelRaes I tested. The thing is, to my nose they all share a "house smell" I find very unpleasant and melon-like. These scents just are not for me.

I received a sample of this in a swap from a very sweet swapper. Since the notes have been reviewed, I won't repeat them here. Actually, on my skin, this reminds me immediately of fall weather and...

Very beautiful mix of mellowed, rich fruit, light woods, a little spice and maybe a non-heady, non-bright floral like marigold sneaking in there (?), but the actual notes are bergamot, rose,...

What a gorgeous scent! On me, a lighter, fruitier Feminite de Bois without the cedary sharpness and less spice. At first, I detect a very soft, fresh floral fragrance that develops into a spiced...

A beautiful, well-balanced blend of fruits, woods, and spices, Bois de Paradis is reminiscent of Serge Lutens Bois et Fruits, with a bit more emphasis on the fruits.

With Noir Épices as my first introduction to parfumeur Michel Roudnitska, son of Edmond Roudnitska, I was immediately intrigued when I learned of his collaboration with Delrae Roth to design...
