A whisper of a perfume on me, hardly anything, washed out to the point where I am seriously doubting its freshness. And yet there is something to it that I half suspect I would like. There's a...

I've been wearing Courtesan for 3 days now, and having swapped for it unsniffed, I am happy to say that it's a real winner for me. Like other reviewers have noted, it is subtle, but definitely...

Sadly, I couldn't get past the extremely sweet pineapple in the beginning. It was really intense on me.

I bought this fabulous perfume having never smelled it first! (Quelle Horreur!) I bought this fabulous perfume on the recommendation of some fellow Perfumistas whose opinions I value - some of them...

One of the sexiest scents out there. It is a sweet spicy scent with notes of the bakery and apothecary. I get mixed spice, honey and vanilla. Lovely and unusual and doesn't get nearly enough...

Good Lord this scent is sexy! It certainly has the right name because I find this scent to be outrageously carnal and alluring. It is a floriental really, with top notes of fruit drenched in liquor...

This was my first head-over-heels-must-have fragrance...and it was because it was sort of a "tabu"scent....heady/naughty/sensual/spicy/sweet. It was everything I want in a fragrance. Very...

Not bad! Courtesan on my skin is simply cherry-sweet and powdery balanced, and with just a hint of cumin-like spice in its deepest heart. I now regret ordering such a small sample since I'd love to...

Courtesan, made by the Worth Family, is perfectly named. I almost blushed when I first smelled it!! At first sniff, it smells like expensive makeup and perfume, and then *bang* it smells DIRTY....

I'm not hating on this perfume. However, it has the overly perfumed rankness of a young, inexperienced girl who is too brash for her own good, and doesn't quite know what she's doing. Or a...

Close your ears Serge Lutens fans, but Courtesan for me was a whisper of Chergui with a dose of expensive face powder and lipstick. It's not the 'After Hours' Courtesan - the hot, shameless,...

First on, it’s powder and makeup, then spices and sweetness come in. Definite chocolate notes, florals and such sneak up. Dry down is a lot like Joop pour Homme: Spiced vanilla musk, with a slight...

What are we all smelling? On me this is the scent of a nice hard milled European soap. Pleasant clean and mildly floral. Not worth all the money or the fuss. It's nice but so what?

This is as complex as a scent by Serge lutens, but much nicer. Yes, all kinds of spices are there, but they don't scream at you. Yes, it is sweet, but not noxious. I usually don't like orientals,...

After reading numerous rave reviews on various sites, I was ready to buy a full bottle of Courtesan, untested. That's how sure I was that I'd love it. Luckily, sanity prevailed and I ended up...

OH MY. This is a lovely one, although I'm not sure whether I should call it a gourmand, an oriental, or even a woody fragrance, because it has outstanding elements of all three. I was a bit...
