    Cimabue is a soft spicy saffron scent. I adore it. Period. I adore it and should have bought a larger bottle. I did the Smell and Tell personal consultation with Dawn this summer, which was one of...

    Not a thing in the world wrong with this scent but it's certainly not what I'd want to go around smelling like. It smells of The Cracker Barrel store just before Christmas. Or, you'd bathed,...

    I agree w/the adjectives that others have used to describe this...creamy, comforting, addicting. It did take a few tries for me to fall for it & I'm glad I didn't write it off too quickly which...

    I ordered this as a sample size. It smells like a spicy, gourmand autumn candle. It's too strong for me to wear on my skin though.

    Lovely! Cimabue begins on a complex citrus note, immediately warmed by spice. Rich florals emerge, blending with the citrus spice in a very complex symphony. The clove and carnation add so much...

    This fragrance is an explosion of beauty on me. I loved it even more when I layered it over Oeillets des Rouges (sp?) so that the carnation fragrance was more pronounced but there was still so...

    This certain is a "busy" scent! The opening notes of bergamot and neroli are harsh on my skin and just too orangey for me. Apparently there is rose and tuberose somewhere - but I can't smell...

    Too spicy for me. I'm discovering I particularly dislike saffron as a fragrance note. It belongs in rice.

    On my skin, this is mostly the scent of astringent, bitter saffron mixed with rich, honeyed rice pudding, spices, and a handful of floral notes. It's not a dupe of L'Artisan's Safran Troublant, a...

    This scent is incredible. I recently purchased the perfume extrait -- and it's worth every penny. I don't know about the Indian rice pudding analogy - I just get warm, sweet (but not too sweet)...

    I normally don't go for spicy scents. Sure I like them, but never seem to find one that is "me." However when I read the reviews comparing this to rice pudding I knew I had to try it and I'm very...

    Addictive. Delicious rice pudding with saffron, raisins, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, and a hint of rose. The sandalwood makes a very demure showing towards the end, along with the opoponax. Oh...
