    Wow! I am definitely a fan of this one. It smells luscious (honey, raisins, and spices) on me, although I'm not entirely sure that it's really "me." It also fades more quickly than I would like....

    This is quite similar to Escada Collection and, to a lesser extent, it's the boozy cousin of Frapin 1270, Ambre Narguile and Bois de Paradis. Sweeter than any of the above-mentioned fragrances,...

    Incense. Incense. Lots of Incense. I smell like honey incense straight out of a Catholic Cathedral. Maybe a drop of dessert wine too, and yes it's from the same church - a church of carved and...

    I received a sample of this yesterday. My first thought was that it smells as comforting as crawling into bed at night under a warm down comforter with a warm glass of milk or your favorite tea. ...

    There's nothing wrong with Botrytis in the slightest -- its a perfectly nice, yummy and comforting, wine-y honey scent. Not true honey mind you (the only fragrance I have encountered that I'd...

    i'm giving this 4 lipsticks but i'm still undecided on this scent. on my skin, i got no honey at all, no tobacco, no spices - no anything except a syrupy-rich smell of Viognier dessert wine before...

    Botrytis is a unique fragrance. I've never smelled anything so redolent of honey. People have compared it to Escada Collection, and I can see why, but I find Botrytis more "natural" smelling and...

    I'm sad to say it, but this smelled like urine on me. No warm, lush, cherry, boozy scent, just that faint vague smell of pee. I tried it 3 different times and at different times of the day and it...

    Mmmm...I love Ginestat Botrytis! I wasn't sure if I would like it since I am not fond of wine and most honey scents smell like urine on me(eewwwwwwww). But, I took the plunge and asked Santa(DH...

    I have instantly become smitten with each and every Ginestet fragrance I've experienced, but I must say that Botrytis is at the very top of the list. The scent envelopes you in a warm, lush, honey...

    Rich sweet (but not overly so) honey, robust and fragrant and a little floral and almost foody. Great for cold weather, but could be too sweet and "sticky" smelling for warmer weather. The...

    This smells like sugar cane. What you want to do is, you want to be real careful with judging when it's time you cut your cane. You don't want to wait too late and if you cut it too early it...

    On me this was all tobacco. Yuck. Smelled like I stuck my nose in a pack of cigarettes.

    Botrytis definitely relates to its name. It is a rich, sweet, honey scent that quite accurately evokes the character of a dessert wine. That said, it is much too sweet for my scent-wearing comfort...

    I received both Ginestet Botrytis, and Frapin"1270" at the same time. That was very confusing to me, because initially I thought they were way too similar. They are NOT! Botrytis, is a warm, amber...

    A very lovely, soft autumn scent. Its low sillage makes it a good choice for work, where I have to be careful that whatever I wear does not waft around too much. This one can be enjoyed, but up...
