eight and bob memoires de mustique review

When I first put the fragrance on, it was an extremely complex and unusual mixture of citrus, amber, woody and even slightly savoury notes, which I wasn't at all sure I was going to like. I tried Memoires de Mustique for the first time today, after recently receiving a sample: and can only describe it as a very unusual, if not rather odd fragrance: Mémoires de Mustique does seem to last longer, but it too needs to be applied in two laters upon application in order to last more than an hour.ĭecent, exotic, and classic overall impression to me. Now, I've had very bad experiences with Imperial de Guerlain fading WAY too quickly, even with my layering the scent. Jasmine marches right in, holding hands with the neroli in an interesting way orange blossom emerges within this pairing as well, adding a freshness that doesn't diminish from the jasmine-neroli partnership (which remains throughout the wear cycle of this scent).Īmber and musk don't really enter into my perception in any concrete way they might have entered quietly into the jasmine-neroli, appearing in wisps here and there. The bergamot fades ever so slightly, with the neroli hanging in there as the scent begins - within a minute - to resemble Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino fragrance. Starts out smelling almost EXACTLY like Imperial de Guerlain, with that typical lemony-aromatic unisex 4711 vibe.

An amber rich breeze contains hints of inland forest precious woods while white musk foreshadows the animal heat of post beach bodies leisurely making their way through another uncertain medium the fragrant night.Very nice scent from the Eight & Bob company. These florals blaze as perfectly as the Mustique sunset, and we bask in their warmth until the cool, blue salty sand evening dawns. The saturated intensity of jasmine and orange blossom is a force that is sweetly tempered by the symmetrical, apricot elegance of osmanthus. As dark and mystifying as a dig of deep, mineral rich earth, jasmine's indolic intensity is lapis next to orange blossom's crimson. Against the piquant spice of orange blossom, jasmine sambac is liquid cool. This hypnotic flower wreaths skin like heavy gold, weighing the wearer down with a delightful sense of luxury. Slowly this sharp bouquet wides and unfurls into the sparkling, sun infused sweetness of indulgent orange blossom. Petitgrain is a softer, mezzo harmony mediating the electric current between neroli and bergamot. Bergamot throbs and tangs, a tropical undercurrent that is the percussion to the high yet mellifluous soprano of acid bright neroli. In this imagining, Mustique initially hugs the skin, a glowing citric embrace, that infuses the spirit with a glorious, optimistic sense of positive possibility and play. This scent is a remembrance of a time past, when the purity essence of Mustique was not tempered by exposure. Recall the grand, comparatively untamed landscape, the azure, transparent waters, and the magical sunsets. About Memoires de Mustique Eau de Toilette: M?moires de Mustique is a tribute to the beautiful Caribbean island, Mustique.
