Jeffrey Dame's Amazing scents..a must have...

I got lucky and won some samples of two amazing scents by Jeffrey Dame.  One of my favorite blogs, A Kaftkaesque Life (http://akafkaesquelife.wordpress.com ) held the giveaway.  She writes much better about scents than I do…

But I love the two I got.


And I've learned a lot about boutique scents over the past year.  Not mass produced (and sometimes pricey indeed) they add a level of sophistication completely missing in the mass market fragrances.  Literally, they smell completely different (and better).


The first I got was the Parfums Retro Grand Cuir eau de parfum.  Complex and rich, it is a unisex fragrance that picks up depth as you wear it.  With a hint of leather, it also wafts cistus-labdanum, clary sage, birch tar, orange flower, geranium, lavender, violet leaf, carnation, rose, cinnamon leaf oil, tarragon, pine moss, musk, sandalwood, patchouli and rosewood oil.  It wears like a burning fire, with flowers in the background and a leather wearing scotch drinking man.  No one can fully describe this scent you just need to wear it.  I love it.  Available:


100 ml for $155.00 at http://luckyscent.com and I am hopeful you will add it to your collection - or gift your significant other.  If you have a moment I encourage you to leave a comment on your experience with Parfums Retro Grand Cuir at http://fragrantica.com and at http://akafkaesquelife.wordpress.com/2013/11/09/parfums-retro-grand-cuir/


I also got, according to Mr. Dame (and which I love!!): 
  
"a special preview sample of my new Mate, Heliotrope & Patchouli eau de toilette from Dame Perfumery Scottsdale.  Mate, Heliotrope & Patchouli is one of a collection of eight new women's fragrances [plus five new scents for men] which will be offered in the Dame Perfumery Scottsdale boutique which opens this coming September 2014.
