It’s really nicely done. I still can’t decide if I like it or not. Glad you do!

Well on my skin this turns to incense and vanilla. Really crazy and I am pretty sure I want it (looks at flittersniffer:may I?)
Even my BFF liked it and she has a really “hard to satisfy” taste, I hope we can share a bottle…

That worked, thanks! I guess you’re right that the comparison doesn’t help if you’ve never tried the pie, but now I want to try the pie!

Sorry, I’ll try without the parenthesis… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banoffee_pie

Condensed milk, banana and toffee. But if you never tasted it the comparison is pretty useless of course…

I have never heard of banoffee pie, and that link doesn’t seem to point to a page at Wikipedia (it just says “Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name”). But thanks anyway!

Hi and thank you for a great blog!

Tried this in London a week before the launch. My first thought on sniffing my wrist was “banoffee pie!”…The SA said it was heavy on the ylang on me, but I could only smell this mouthwatering pastry…As it dried down it became less gourmand, but still very sweet. I had Elixir (which was really what i wanted for fall/vinter) on the other wrist, but had it been available at the time I think Amaranthine would have been my London souvenir . For the love of pie…

Hey flittersniffer, i got your note……yes i loveeeeeeeeeeeee this one, its a very big floral….lots of green and yes “smutty” , i completely adore this one. I agree, the stupid sales pitch is not even close to what this smells like, i think people will be very pleasantly surprised once they try it. This is most definitely on my top 5 list of fragrances right now. Glad you love it too.

I seriously LOLed when I read the ad copy, but the perfume sounds sexy in a satin sheets on a warm spring night kind of way. I definitely want to check it out since I love some Boudoir and Fracas, so sweet, green, flowery and milky sounds fantastic.
