It is *very* too bad that it's discontinued. I think it could have sold really well under a more well-known name. Interesting — wouldn't have thought of Flower, but will have to try them together.

Does it remind you of a less powdery Kenzo flower? I like the Vanilla and pepper/resin combination a lot. Too bad it's discontinued. I just wore this as my scent of the day.

That is a lot of fragrance. Do you find POTL light too? Agree that it could use more oomph & I think that is why I liked the top notes best, when there was still more incense. Wow, a whole vial!!

Agree that it could use more oomph & I think that is why I liked the top notes best, when there was still more incense.

I find it very similar to POTL. It's probably the powdery heliotrope. Maybe even Etro Heliotrope which to me is like POTL too. I find this too soft, barely there and may be good for a delicate person who sometimes thinks fragrances are too strong. For me there is not enough oomph! I put on almost a whole medium size vial this morning and I can barely smell it with my nose to my wrist. I finally got to try this one. I find it very similar to POTL.

I have a vial of Parfum Sacre somewhere and will have to compare the two. I have also seen it compared to Luctor et Emergo, but I didn't think they were much alike. M, thank you so much!

I really like BB too. I haven't tried Safran Troublant but I think that Barbara Bui smells quite a bit like Caron Parfum Sacre. M Hi R, I love your blog. I really like BB too.

I will have to try it some day soon! And the idea of using it with Passage d'Enfer really has tickled my fancy! =) Oh this sounds so beautiful! I will have to try it some day soon!

Thanks for jumping in there and explaining my "patchamania". I think I like the patchouli blends so much because, spending my teen years in the late '60's/early '70's, I never wore patchouli at all! I'd just smell it wafting in the air at concerts, on "hippies", etc. Now when I smell it, it transports me back to those carefree teen years (minus all the angst.) I seem, unintentionally, to gravitate to the patchouli-blends. I just feel that patch adds a lot of depth and warmth to a fragrance. BTW, wore the Safran today and loved it! Hey Mahgs!

But, keep in mind that 2 years ago, all I wore was light citrus. I have come a long way :-) At this point, I consider it a personal failure that I have not yet grown to love patchouli or amber.
