Exotic adventures - 10 years later
In the dark humidity of the night
rock the schooners
where saffron stars and black cumin snuffs are flashing
i've made a place to stay
In the waves of Sunda Street
the jungle night chirps
where orange peel drips bitterly on leather
i will sleep there

In the sand of Pulau Pagang
the search is over
where rum dances lightly around the fire
that's where I'm arriving

After 10 years of separation I am now reunited with idols. I was allowed to try countless similar perfumes - nothing can hold a candle to you. The rum. The spices. The balance. Unmatched. Old love...

Creole LOVE POTION
Rich, incense-y, and very, very mysterious.
An androgynous distinctive and distinguished scent.
A very magical potion that can cast
a love spell.. perhaps ..
Much the way the Creoles liked to do in the French Quarter of New Orleans.....
reminds me of Bourbon French Parfums VOODOO LOVE...
a deep, earthy fragrance.
A re-creation of the special potion Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau gave to her favored clients so they could gain the object of their affections.

Rum and exotic spices mingle with dark, smoky woods and leather...
you can almost hear the drums beating off in the distance...in Congo Square in the Tremé neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana,
just north of the French Quarter.

Moonlight lush life

Boozy, spicy, warm and a little sweet
Absolutely stunning right from the start! The rum, bitter orange and black cumin let you know immediately you're in for a treat. It's boozy, spicy, warm and a little sweet but just enough so... I'm often cautious about cumin in fragrances, as it can sometimes feel stinky to my nose, but no such thing here. It's just right. Saffron and, I think, something peppery soon joins in and at that point there was no going back: I was hooked.

The rum then subsides and the saffron shines; the middles notes remain spicy, with the addition of a gorgeous light smokiness. There is also something fruity, rich and liquorous but always balanced.

With time, gorgeous, warm amber develops, joined by sandalwood and, at least on my skin, a very discrete leather note.

Beautiful, comforting, warm, spicy but also mellow and velvety, Idole is perfect for cold weather. It's also unisex without a doubt. Sillage and longevity are good. Highly recommended.

P.S. This review is for the EDT.

transported to a chic tiki cocktail
houseparty Circa 1959 where men
in there Italian Suits Women in
there Pastel floral with layers of petticoat
ala Christian Dior Givenchy heavly
Coilfed hair with High Heel stelettos
The music of 50's Exotica flows around
the house Incense of oud burns though
out the night Partiers Laughing loudy
the Children with there Howdy Doody
dolls Crewcuts mary janes and bows
sleep quiely upstairs there mother goes
up to check up on them.

While downstairs the party is heating up
unbeknowst to the wife the Husband is
daliling with Attractive Women out
of the heavly smoked room a tall slender
woman with jet black hair Bettie Paige
hair style Ruby red lips and a strapless
form fitting dress with black silk gloves
starts caressing the husband with
her long Red nails and when is about to
kiss him with her full red lips then
the campy fast dramatic Closeup of the
wife catching her husband cheating!
GASPS! she furiorly slaps her husband
in the face.

and your awaken from your Envisions

High Striker
because the scale shoots into the height and immediately falls down again.

The head note is really brilliant. Caraway and rum prickle in the nose.
Much more promises the pyramid.
Yes, leather and wood (my darlings) appear, removed for miles and miles, though.

I feel like everyone in the German forum.

However, I feel how Ergoproxy. It may be simpler as well. There are also other smells which are taken advantage of more than once on the day.
And the smell is therefore nice warm and tasty.

Supplement on 1-10-2012
I increase my assessment and the durability. I still can smell the warm leather and wood tone in the next morning.

Idole de Lubin ???
You are right on two accounts CyberToy1. First, Idole and Idole de Lubin are very simular. For me, the EdT was more interesting. Second, the EdT did have better longevity.Finally, we agree on something....
