    Queen of Sheba

    A very rich, spicy, warm scent. I love this. In the bottle - The first thing I notice is almonds; it smells like marzipan and frangipani blossoms. I'd go so far as to say that the almonds overpower every other scent; but not unpleasantly so. Wet on skin - More almonds, but they're not as overpowering as they smelled in the bottle. Warm spices begin to emerge after a few minutes. Dry down - Absolutely heavenly! The honey begins to make its presence felt and a sweet edge becomes more apparent as time goes on. The perfect scent for long summer evenings when you're dressed in something golden and silken. Very highly recommended!

    Muse

    Hello all from a new reviewer I'm not ordinarily a fan of jasmine but this one's just gorgeous! In the bottle - A distinct zing of citrus gives real body to the predominant scent of jasmine. It's multilayered without being too complex. Wet on the skin - The tuberose starts to emerge but again it's given a sharper and cleaner edge by the lime. Dry down - A new floral note emerges which I presume can only be the lotus. It's a unique and indefinable soft waft of scent, something evocative and faintly ghostly. Like the moment when the muse departs her worshipper, leaving behind the work of art or academic piece she has inspired.
