Ah, Debauchery, aka The Great Civet Experiment. I had heard so many bad things about civet that I just had to try it (I also really like vetiver, which elicits a strong reaction from many). I really must say, I think if most people find a scent repellent, it really turns my crank. I can't stop smelling it. I can see how it could be really disgusting, just a little too animal for comfort. But in small doses, I think this would be incredibly sexy. Hmmm. What a bold statement.

I, too, am modeling Hetairae. I get the sharp, dandelion-y smell, and I like it. I also smell underneath that a very human, sweaty smell, but just a ghost of it. The sweetness of the fig is very distant but necessary against all of the aggressive, spiky smells. It is almost like there is a bit of O under, maybe, Roadhouse. It reminds me a little of Queen, also. This is the kind of perfume that I really like, kind of sharp and complicated. Yet strangely it isn't forming an identity on me. At least not on this first wearing. And sadly, I can't really smell many of the constituent scents...I would never guess the contents (patchouli, clove, honey...) I wish this smelled the way I pictured it smelling, but that doesn't mean that I won't grow to like it.
