Thank you to the house of @elisire_parfums for allowing me to sample their products! I will be sharing my thoughts on their fragrances over the next three days.  A wonderful hand-written note accompanied these very generously sized samples, and I always love that added, personal touch!  All of these fragrances are in Extrait formulations and perform exceptionall well! *

Oderose - Rose, rose and more rose!  Oderose is deep, dark and sultry with this rose.  Once the initial blast of rose subsides, other notes start to intertwine.  The first is raspberry, very sweet and tart.  I also get a bit of a zingy orange.  The middle and base is still heavy on rose, but geranium, ambergris, and sandalwood add a base that is excellent.  I picture an attractive couple out to a fancy dinner in the winter dressed in black leather coats sharing this perfume.  Rose lovers, get your nose on this! 7.5/10 *

Desired - This is spicy, floral and woody.  In the top, I get a lot a cumin and saffron.  I usually despise cumin, but in this composition it really works.  This has cumin done correctly - the spice without the funk.  In the heart I get rose and cedar.  In the base I get amber, bourbon vanilla and oud.  The saffron and cumin remain throughout the wearing.  This is seriously the only fragrance with a pronounced cumin note I have liked.  My gosh, what an interesting, well-executed fragrance. Desired is about confidence, you must be confident enough to wear it, but it will also reward you with confidence if you wear it.  Spicy and mysteriously sexy.  8.5/10
