I have just purchased a bottle of CHAROGNE... I even like their "shock tactics"-- how shocking must the title "MY SIN" have seemed back in the day?-- and this fragrance is truly groundbreaking, original and addictive. It's also very strange, make no mistake... but strange/good... CHAROGNE is one of my new serious faves...

Hope these will eventually go online in the US so I can try more of the line. I have still only tried 2 of them so can't comment…did like the Jasmin et Cigarette, but I wasn't dying to own it.

I wanted to try Charogne and so far i don't know what to think of it. I like the scent in the bottle but on my skin the vanilla is a bit strong to my taste. Got a sample of antiheros (lavender&musk) for another try tomorrow. And the woody "Eloge du traitre" worths a try too ( scent like cistaceae) On the whole, i like this "brand" and the names are quite original and entertaining imo. Have yet to find a fragrance that suits me well. I'm just back from the shop. I wanted to try Charogne and so far i don't know what to think of it.

It was bothering me: I knew there was an English word for it; it was escaping me. Duh! Oh, 'iridescent', of course! It was bothering me: I knew there was an English word for it; it was escaping me.

And did not mean to imply that my Spanish was any good -- I took it for about 10 (!) years, all the way through graduate school, and at one time I could read it fluently though, but I've never been good at languages and can't "think in Spanish" -- I'd never be able to answer you without a dictionary. Pathetic! Thanks!

It reminded me of the artificial smell of supposed strawberries in some lipglows girls wear around here. :) Que bueno que entiendes español, Robin! :P Saludos. hehehe.

Literally, it means 'as viewed through a prism, taking on all the colours created by a prism'. Shimmery, opalescent might be good translations for it. Now you can work out what 'framboise irisée' means, can't you? Sounds nice, actually. The adjective 'irisé(e)' has nothing to do with the flower or with scent.

I didn't even translate it because I assumed the phrase meant something more than the words individually? Kicking myself, for the zillionth time, for taking Spanish all those years instead of French.
