Oh wow! Cereus!! I have a bottle of Cereus #4 and have enjoyed the sample of #5 (now called #6). Might you be able to review #4 and #6? I'd like to hear what you think of those. The one you have looks like it might have been #11. I have not tried a sample of #11 or #14.

The one you had there, what's it like?

@ClassicsHouse I have #7. If you like I can send you a decant.

IS IT FLAMEABLE!... BLOW A FIREBALL

@onedollarjuggalo I keep cheap perfume on hand for that very reason.

I have combination skin that makes perfumes smell really strong.

Philosophy signature fragrance is my signature scent.On me, it smells like the cleanest,freshest water and on myself, it does last.

When I find this, I buy it. i don't smell any of the other scents you describe, haha so I guess it's that old chemistry thing....to compare, Avon Absynthe smells too strong on me and I find Bath and Body Works citruses really citrusy.

@Evange Oh, thanks, but that's okay. I've smelled a sample of it before and need another sample again to try it. It's a really funny one that #7. It's really nostalgic for me, like I've smelled it before, but not sure where.

How do you enjoy #7? Do you wear it yourself, or is it for someone else?

BTW, on the bottom of the Cereus bottle there should be a number. As all 5 kinds are all "Pour Homme", the numbers are the way to tell them apart...apart from fragrance color.

That was great - thank you for the description of the scent, and how to put it to best use.

Also, I totally get "smells nice... but smells like man!" I definitely get a generally generic feeling from most men's themed scents, much like there's a generic sweet scent in a lot of women's themed scents. It's not hard to tell who the scents are marketed toward when they go that route, so I say, "Gender neutral... feh. Clearly not what they were aiming for with this one." ^_~

Thank you for the review. I've never smelled that fragrance but I'm so allergic to various fragrances. I've used the tester for the "graces", and I enjoy the scent of AG and PG but I just can't tolerate them to my chagrin :) Victoria's Secret has a pleasant smelling vanilla called Vanilla Lace and I usually get a lot of compliments as some have said that it smells a bit like chocolate ;) Just a word to the wise to be very careful with inhaling perfume or other chemicals as they are toxins :)
