This is the “She Said” review. Brian will supply the “He Said” review soon.
Dans Tes Bras is the perfume I’ve been looking forward to the most this year. When I read the list of notes, I expected a “woody violet” fragrance.
Dans Tes Bras is not a woody violet fragrance, or at least not like any woody violet scent I’ve ever smelled. It smells like mushrooms. Slightly salty mushrooms growing at the base of a huge oak tree with a smattering of fallen autumn leaves. Dans Tes Bras is the sort of fragrance that changes dramatically given the wearers body chemistry. My husband wore it for a few hours – it was a very salty skin scent on him. My close friend, Rob, wore Dans Tes Bras today, and his skin amplified the violet note. On me, it’s all about taking a walk in the country, strolling through the woods, smelling mushrooms, on an autumn day. Does it smell bad, you ask? No. Does it smell good, then? Sort of.
There’s a wonderful review on Perfume Shrine, where the writer goes into great detail about the various notes & elements of Dans Tes Bras.
I’m very curious about Brian’s reaction.
Notes: bergamot, cloves, salicylates, violet, jasmine, sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense, cashmeran, heliotrope, white musk
Dans Tes Bras is available in Europe already. It will be available in the United States in mid-October, 2008.
Barney's, exclusively, carries the Frederic Malle line in the US.

I had read Helg's review, and now it is quite interesting to hear yours. Clearly, I need to get this on my skin, and see what develops....
