Doe through the Artemisia bushes… Her coat glows in the warm autumnal sun. Freedom is happiness. And the single notion that being is all there is to life. Victoire Gobin-Daudé, a gifted French...

Hey, I love cumin. Kingdom, Femme, love love love cumin. Sadly, this smells like chicken soup: pepper, stale cumin dust, something green and dry like thyme, more pepper. Smells like you were...

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...

A lovely and festive scent, a bit "Renaissance Festival" or somehow Middle Ages, dark woods, velvets, something deep and all knowing. Definitely forests, not so much the smell (maybe of the barks)...

I have to give this a 4 for it's unusual coupling of heady spices (read: cumin and curry) and the light undercurrent of green absinthe, and a sweetness that comes out almost like blackcurrent deep...

VERY bitter and dry scent. Disgusting leather and tobacco on my skin. I can't stand this.

NO: This reminds me of Tea for Two but with a heavy cumin note. I hate that note! I'm like other people. I like to eat curry but I don't want to smell like it.

This is one of my HG fragrances. Lush, wet, sweet and mysterious. A wonderful mixture of rain misted foliage and honey. Like the reviewer below, my BF said he smelled curry. I think that it must be...

This is so wonderful and dry. I feel like I am turning pages of a botany book that has preserved plants on each page. I have never smelled anything that reminds me so much of the artemesia shrubs...

It smells like curry! As much as I love a good ruby, no way do I want to smell like one.

Well, what a weird fragrance! Starts out all herb-y/weedy. I guess that's the artemisia. I like that, although it's a little intense. Then this cumin note pops out, _really strong_. I guess that's...

I was impressed with the fact that this smells like a mixture of cooking spices and pipe tobacco. Sweet, smoky, pungent. Very linear though, did not change much from when top note to drydown. Best...

The heart of this scent is a complex and startlingly attractive tobacco note, not as it's usually done in perfumery, but like opening a fresh packet of unfiltered cigarettes. Unfortunately the dry...

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 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.
