I had to look it up, too - I know what silicon is, but "silex" was new to me, too. This one is wonderful, you'll love it. Yeah, I know. Whodda thunk silicon for a perfume note?

I would totally wear it myself just from the list of ingredients. It sounds just perfect for summer, or for professional wear, and I have no qualms about wearing a "masculine" fragrance. (However, I had to look in Wikipedia to figure out what the the heck "silex" is. who would think of using it in a fragrance!?!?) Wow, everyone, everywhere seems to like this one.

You are going to have to spill the beans about that blue Oilily when you have it in your hot little hands though. I still want that cute little soap! And.. all those butterflies on the Papillion, so cute. Next month, maybe. Mimi, it's definitely worth taking a look-sniff at. The silex is the weirdest note - I can only guess this was used in part to give Terre a sandy smell? I'm not sure. I can't think of what silicon would smell like as a solitary perfume note, of course, but that's my guess?

I'm intrigued by the gunflint and silex notes and will want to try this scent if only for those reasons. Thank you, I enjoyed your review.

Once again you take a fragrance based around cedar, which is often so wrong on me, and you make it a must-try. PS You keep getting me in trouble, first on Caswell-Massey, then on eBay! I am buying that blue Oilily, I am such a pushover for violets. You are amazing. Once again you take a fragrance based around cedar, which is often so wrong on me, and you make it a must-try.

Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:02:57 +0000 http://scentzilla.com/?p=127#comment-837 I am surprised to some extent by the way the scent is composed of such a straight line, and yet has facets and dimensions - I don't know why I'm that surprised since it is Ellena's doing, but here it's more palpable. I think I like this one better than any of his others, but perhaps this is just the newness and excitement of it. The shape is kind of like a hologram sticker: a flat object that magically gives the illusion of three dimensions. I don't know about obsolete, the genderizing habit just seems ultimately meaningless to me is all. The only purpose I can see that it ever served (and serves now) was to make people feel comfortable in their own rigid views of feminity and masculinity so they could push sales. The ritual and joy of actually enjoying a scent seems more intimate than that to me, and defies an easy categorization of enjoyment based upon which sex you are. Bleh, look at me - I've got a soapbox! Sheesh. Sorry! I guess I'm feel more strongly and crankier about it than usual at the moment.

Also received my sample from the wonderful Patty and as soon as I put it on, I literally squealed with delight. It was exactly what I wanted and what I wanted this scent to be. Men, schmen, really, all these gender distinctions in perfume are obsolete. Katie,
