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.
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.
