The new edition Parisienne was created by perfumers  Sophia Grojsman and Sophia Labbe. And just like its predecessor, it’s meant for women who are in their 30s. In terms of target market, it’s safe to say that it’s borderline Elle and Opium. But in truth, this perfume is a re-interpretation of Paris which was launched in 1983. Thus, Parisienne A L’Extreme, suffice to say, is a flanker of a flanker!

Flanker or no flanker, Parisienne is still without a doubt a nice woody-floral scent. It’s a muted version of Paris where the vibrant notes of fruits and berries easily dissipate. The base conveys a smooth aroma where patchouli literally cleans up the sweetness of the fruit notes. The vinyl accord in the composition is subdued and not quite edgy as expected.
The flacon takes the shape of the original, an elongated Paris bottle, with gem-cut design on the surface. The juice is colored pink but appears a shade darker depending on the lighting.

Both Parisienne and Parisienne A L’Extreme come in EDP in 1.7oz and 3oz bottles.

Hold the phone, it’s no longer attractive to smell good. Good in the normally accepted sense, that is. And scientists aren’t joking. They have long speculated that natural smells and pheromones played a part in attracting the opposite sex. And surprise, surprise: scientists recently discovered that these theories are correct! Lucky for you, bottled B.O.  and pheromone perfumes have been long been available. So run, don’t walk, to your nearest discount perfume e-tailer to snatch up your bottle of au naturel aromas.

Animalic perfumes are perfumes that maximize the natural musky smell secreted by animals. Civet, musk, ambergris—these are common scents that you could find secreted by animals. While musk is quite light and common, civet is a little more difficult to swallow. Ambergris, in its true form, is now difficult to access. Original ambergris and soft amber (a synthetic scent that mimics this precious aromatic material that’s excreted from whale’s glands by mixing resinous labdanum and vanilla) are warm, earthy, resinous scents. The soft, sweet glowing amber is a popular basenote in most woman’s perfumes. Popular musk scents are Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely, her upcoming B.O. perfume, and Kouros (a popular Yves Saint Lauren cologne). The daring civet scent is prominent in Jean Patou Joy, Guerlain Jicky and Paco Rabane La Nuit.

But if a natural smell is not enough to get you feeling sexy, try pheromones. But who the heck bottles hormones that aren’t perceivable by the sense of smell? Well, loads of perfumers have recently jumped up to brave that fourth dimension of scent. Realm by Erox (also known as Human Pheromone Sciences) and Paris Hilton Women are the popular leaders in this category. What you get with these perfumes is a typical enjoyable perfume, minus the screeching of animalic notes. Underlying all the aromatic chemistry, another type of chemical attraction is brewing. These added synthetic pheromones mimic the strings of natural attraction.

Have your doubts about natural body odors and pheromones playing a part in attraction? Well, a recent study revealed that men found the T-shirts of fertile women more pleasant smelling than those of non-fertile women. Dr. Miller of this experiment says this demonstrates that men’s testosterone levels are kicked up when they smell a woman natural odors. Another recently released study declares that pheromones pump up the “baseline frequency in romantic attention.” Glynis Gould, a researcher on this project explains, “According to the research we’ve done, pheromones will lure someone to you even more powerfully or at least as powerfully as appearance.”

So next time your looking for a perfume that attracts, consider some natural smelling options or some pheromone-filled fragrances. Scentiments.com carries all the above-mentioned natural and pheromone perfumes at great discounts.

M7 colgone

The seventh fragrance from the YSL perfumery, M7 is formulated as a rich and heavy scent teeming with rugged masculinity. The fragrance notes features earth-tones, wood accords, citrus, rosemary, bergamot and agarwood. M7 was launched in 2002 and was created by perfumers Jacques Cavalier and Alberto Morillas. Its provocative campaign stars martial arts champion Samuel de Cubber in the nude. According to creative director Tom Ford, the same virtuoso who designed the bottle, “Perfume is worn on the skin, so why hide the body?”

As M7 is quite a complex and daring fragrance to begin with, reviews teeter between the positive and the negative. A number of perfume reviews were pleased with the scent and their words are telling how impressed they have been with this perfume. One review from Basenotes says, “Discretion or delirium resides in one’s own hands and is dependent entirely upon one’s approach to this superb fragrance. It has the power to overwhelm. Used discretely, it is a warm enveloping fragrance of ethereal proportion, but, though dangerously tempting for those smitten by M7′s elegant Oriental charms, over use will cause swooning. M7 is appropriately romantic and sensual. I have to curb my desire to keep re-applying it because it has remarkable longevity; the real issue is a kind of intoxication or addiction. I adore it.” Infatuated, perhaps? Once you find your perfect chemistry, you won’t let go of it. Those who found solace in M7 gush, yield and become faithful to the fragrance.

This scent is certain to announce itself in the crowd. Straightforward and powerful — that what makes it distinct among the plethora of masculine scent in the perfumery. The sillage is superb; it mellows into a lasting yet compelling aroma. The sharp, smoky sweetness bites giving it a more pronounced and edgy appeal. M7 suits the cold months of winter. The woody oriental base blankets you with a comforting warmth akin to a familiar embrace.
M7 is a love hate fragrance. It’s heavy and on certain occasions, overwhelms the sensitive noses. But for those who appreciate its beauty, it’s titillating, hypnotic and endearing. You just can’t get enough of it.
