So it's basically Orientalism in a bottle?

...I ordered a sample of this out of pure curiosity. I've spent quite a bit of time all throughout Morocco and am really curious to see how it compares.

@threaduntangler If you haven't already, explore Serge Lutens line - many of his perfumes are inspired by Morocco, where he lives, including Fleurs d'Oranger.

i can't find this scent anywhere. Where can i find it? :)

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@grimmonster100 There's a link under my video to my blog post for "where to buy" info. Suppliers include LuckyScent.

WOW! This sounds interesting. I'd like to have it just to spray it in the air and meditate on traveling to Morroco on a magic flying carpet.

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@peekaboots01 This is definitely a fragrance that takes you places when you wear it.

Very interesting explanation. I completely agree that you're transported to a marketplace in Morocco. Dust, spice, sweet warm air, smoke, and fruit. It's more of an artwork and showcases the virtuosity of the perfumer rather than a fragrance to smell "nice". It captures a moment in a bottle, much as a photograph or a painting captures a moment; it's simply a different medium for creative expression. Thank you for the review, Katie.

By the way, :) good french accent !

Just emphasize more the "o" and the nasal prononciation of "ain" in marocain, and you'll be able to pretend you're born french :)

@Cardsmaster For your spice bomb needs, it's gotta be Ambre Sultan. L'Air du blah blah is on the sweeter side and not as prickly-spicy. And speaking of spice bombs, also give Donna Karan Black Cashmere a whirl. I'm wearing it right now and it's a clove-saffron-pepper spicy-dry-woody incense that will provide spice satisfaction.

Hi, Katie Puckrik.

For a guy, which one should I get - Ambre Sultan or L'air du blah blah by tauer?

I wanna be a spice bomb!

@CestmoiNicole Maybe not twin, but certainly some family resemblance in the smoky coughety cough-ness of it, the sweetness. FT goes more in a tobacco direction, Desert Marocain in the cedar wood. But now you've got me curious to do a side by side sniff.

[CestmoiNicole]

I've just tried it on my wrist. Isn't it a twin-brother of Lutens' Fumerie Turque?
