Temptress Limited Edition Parfum Review
October 17th, 2012 by JoAnne BassettFrom Facebook: Henrique Brito?s review:
It?s true that Temptress opens in a strong way, but this seduced know very well how to play her seduction ways in a complex and yet extremely pleasant way. One of the reasons that she makes you want more is quite evident from the first moment you apply it on skin: she is delicious. JoAnne Bassett matches perfectly several essences and something you end noticing on all of her fragrances is that in all of the themes she proposes she will apply high quality essences, rare to find in fragrances, and in a careful combination, in a way that each essence fits perfectly the theme created. In Temptress, she does it starting with a mouthwatering combination of citrusy fruits, that has a fresh and slightly sweet smell and that makes me think of tangerines. As the scent starts to develop on skin this seduction game is played, at this second moment, using sensual flower extracts, that smell sensual, but not overwhelming. It?s interesting that JoAnne uses on Temptress a jasmine that doesn?t have any indolic aspect and that it?s able to continue the fruity citric opening under a more floral perspective of a discreet green aspect. The rose gives it a delicate floral aroma of musky and fruity nuances and it?s perfectly mixed with the jasmine. Surrounding the flowers you have a secundary incense theme that confers them a slighty smoky and resinous aura. The seduction game played by this temptress ends in a discreet vanillic and lavender base, without too much sugar or cream from the vanilla or too much caramel and herbs from the lavender and it?s balanced by a slightly use of an earthy patchouli. This Temptress is full of tricks and those are the ones that i?m able to undestand from its complex idendity, being this one of her main seduction tricks: she leaves you wanting more because you cannot completely decipher her at once.
