I’ve tried so many fragrances over the past year and although I’ve purchased a few I really like, this is the first where I’ve felt it could be "the one." I get woody spice with a peppery finish (must be the mandarin) as well as suede. I wear this to work and in the evening. Its gloriously rich and expensive smelling as well as extremely sophisticated and elegant. I feel like this could be a new classic, and although slated unisex, I find its a wonderful scent for a confident, mature woman. Well done M. Barrois !
