Just…give it a minute, okay? It’s very funky oriental, smoky and sweet and floral in turns. Not Safe For Work, unless you’re trying to seduce your boss or something, or you live in France. The coriander note in perfumery can turn into “body odor” if your chemistry doesn’t agree with it. Happens with Alexander McQueen’s Kingdom. This might be a favorite especially moving into autumn.
The really money item is the boudoir atomizer, but it’s a fat $150 at Amazon. There is a coffret, though, that’s only $80.
Fifi’s first perfume, Fifi Chachnil is an oriental harmony both insolent (amber, coriander, tobacco) and tender (powdered rose, mandarin, lily of the valley. This is the eau de parfum, a rich, strong version of this perfume.
