FANTASIA DE FLEURS
Rose, rose, and more rose. I love roses, and I can see how an Empress would have enjoyed this one. Something about it certainly reminds me of an enormous castle surrounded by rose gardens. It's not just any rose fragrance--there is a spiciness in it that is so fitting for a queen. It's a bold, strong, confident, and very regal scent.
Regarding the references to Cabotine, I can kind of see why one might compare the two. I really can't stand Cabotine, but I like Fantasia de Fleurs, especially in its projection. Fantasia smells like Bulgarian roses. Cabotine smells like grass and weeds. Fantasia is cleaner and far more refined. It's missing the harsh notes that I can't stand in Cabotine. (Jan 2011)

JASMIN IMPERATRICE EUGENIE
I am totally enamored with this fragrance, it has cast a spell on me! The notes aren't particularly unique, and yet somehow they create something magical. This perfume smells like sweet jasmine incense mixed with some vanilla. Such a superb, beguiling, and unique fragrance. It was made for a queen, and luckily I'm a Leo, so it will work purrrrfectly for the queen of the jungle!

VANISIA
Vanisia is a classic, quality, amber perfume. It seems like predominantly ambergris blended with sandalwood, and nothing synthetic whatsoever. It smells like powdered amber, so it is indeed powdery, but not like talcum powder at all. Vanisia seems old-fashioned because of the heady sillage and the quality of ingredients. This is by no means a modern perfume that was made to smell vintage, like the new Chloes or Lipstick Rose. This perfume is the real deal.
