About this deal

These are different, and Organza Indecence has much more forward cinnamon & vanilla notes, but their are similarities with the Brazilian Rosewood note. Organza Indecence outperforms. K’bridge was lovely! XJ managed to do their own interpretation of this dna without anything too harsh or overly synthetic smelling. My problem with k’bridge club was that it didn’t project and for the money I do expect to be able to smell it on myself for the majority of the working day. Something bitter and snobbish that only someone like a sommelier would love and average people pretend to like because an expert says that it is tasteful or elegant or whatever.

this was not a love in first sniff.I don't like it's opening that much. it's a bit sharp and somehow dusty! but after a few minutes it dries down to this addictive, powdery skin scent which I can't get enough of it. Diffuser Oil: A lot of our customers use our oils with home electric diffusers, but fiddling with the roller ball top can be an inconvenience so we are happy to bring to our range 15ml dropper bottles, simply add drops as per your requirements and enjoy the fragrance, less hassle, less mess. Brazilian Rosewood. I must admit the notes here have me perplexed. I might be the only one, but I get a Brazilian Rosewood from this scent: dusty rose, soapy woods, powdery sweetness. The dusty rose colour of the juice and the name accurately represent the scent imho. Admittedly my bottle is from somewhere between 2006-08, but it still smells the same to me today as when I got it. The Brazilian Rosewood accord has reminders for me of other scents with Brazilian Rosewood: Organza Indecence Givenchy, Presence d'une Femme Montblanc & Midnight Fleur Nest. Has above average performance for year round wear. Sniffed from the bottle it's gorgeous, soft, clean, warm, feminine. Sprayed directly into the air in front of me, it's just alcohol. When I spray on skin, I get an initial burst of something sharp and bitter, mixed with a powdery sweetness. I think the sharp, bitter note might be the bergamot, but it's barely recognisable as citrus. For the first few minutes I couldn't tell if I liked it on my skin or not, but now it's settling into something soft and powdery, leaning sweet vanilla, more like it smelled directly from the bottle. I am getting the babywipes/talc vibe a little bit. But it's pretty. The florals aren't listed but are definitely coming through now, after about twenty minutes of it sitting on my skin. A smattering of pink rose petals, and maybe a sprinkle of something else. The florals are delicate and elegant. I don't really get any tea, I don't think.If it is so appreciated by perfumers, it is because the essence of rosewood is distinguished by an olfactory profile of great finesse, with multiple facets. Its scent is soft with a refreshing side. Influenced by the important presence of linalool, this essence reveals citrus and aromatic tones that evoke lemon and grapefruit, but also petitgrain. This freshness is also dressed with floral nuances, which recall the delicacy of the rose with more spicy and peppery nuances. But rosewood has not yet said its last word! Indeed, its fragrance also gives off woody notes with accents of cedar. In a perfume, this raw material will evolve over time, revealing a rather wet aspect with an almost mineral side. Noses use it to bring softness but also naturalness to compositions. When synthesis helps nose Desert Rosewood is a dry, warm spicy scent. I don't get a rich balsamic vibe to it, more just a dry spice. I get the cardamom, rosewood and patchouli in particular. It reminds me a little of Aesop's Marrakech Intense in that regard. They are not the same fragrance, but they both have that spiciness that smells as if you are sniffing spices from a spice drawer. There is minimal sweetness to this scent despite the benzoin, vanilla and mandarin notes. These 3 notes do give a tad bit more of a roundness to the scent instead of it being just straight wood and spices. Listed as unisex, I find it rather feminine but I can imagine that men can also smell fantastic with it :)

Like others I blind-bought this; and like others I find this to be a nice fuzzy fragrance (I came here and was pleased to find others have used the precise adjective I had in mind). FUZZY!!This is a lovely fragrance that reminds me of one of my favorite smells: fragrant triple-milled soap in an old wooden drawer. It's supposed to be for women: the box is super femme, the bottle is a little whimsical (but also quite attractive), but the fragrance doesn't smell feminine to me. It smells more like a nice amber candle burning in a massage studio or an upmarket retail shop (like Banana Republic, or if that's too on the nose, maybe Pottery Barn). That sounds like a diss to committed fragheads, I'm sure, but I actually like this fragrance sometimes. Maybe it's not as deep or as intoxicating as Samsara, but this reminds me of the scent of my 1928 Knabe parlor grand piano, that rich old resinous mahogany aroma that reminds me of childhood visits to a very old neighbor who had beautiful antiques.

Desert Rosewood is easily my favorite from Goldfield & Banks line-up, probably because of having a lot of my favorite notes and being most unique to my nose. I already used almost all of the sample, I think it is a full bottle worthy. Rosewood is an uncomplicated, clean musky woods fragrance. I have worn it to work quite often and received a compliment from a male customer that said it smelt like a soothing, woodsy spa-scent. It's a fragrance with no frills.For me rosewood is the more portable (and better) Oud Satin Mood. The great comment from Eyris before me also compares these 2 fragrances. We were at Penhaligons and of course Bergdorf Goodman could not be missing. But in the end I flew home without new perfume! None that I wanted to afford laughed at me that hard. It was great to test everything, so I thought I would get that at home too.
