RIEN

FULL DESCRIPTION
Do not believe what you first see... under the demureness of the name, the spicy savour of blackcurrant bays and the musky notes of blonde suede. Rien is a second skin perfume, a perfume that clings to the body and perseveres in the mind. Like venial sin on the verge of becoming mortal, irresistible and resolutely pervasive. As light as mohair and as precious as cashmere, the fragrance envelops skin with a powdered caress. It has the meticulous elegance and hypnotic beauty of a modern Dorian Gray, in a feminine/masculine version.
An entrancing fragrance that leaves an unforgettable imprint. Utter charm, utterly charismatic. The vanilla/opium accord of the drydown reinforces the addiction. Rien is an essential.
A perfumer’s confession.

Glorious. How is nothing Glorious. It lands on me heavily, with lots of pepper and cedar with some funny fruit floating above. I worry that it's too strong, that I'll be "that perfume guy". I might be, but I have to say that people stop me in the street to inquire. At dinner parties, we've gotten into deep conversations about Rien. It's Boho, decadent qualities come to mind, with its heady incense note conjuring an Eastern market on the Silk Road. Surprisingly, not overwhelming at all, but not nothing either. This one is already in heavy rotation, surpassing even Tom of Finland!
One of the best of this perfume house- I
Have a strong personality n I felt that this smell
Was just me. V different and not for the weak hearted ladies , sorry peeps- no offense . Only thing is that I don’t like the US online vendor n customer service . They need to provide a phone number for orders n issues too - v frustrating trying to email n waiting for replies
Smells like the old black scented crayons, leather jacket. Amazing smell. Tastes like perfume though.
Love at first spray - I'd bought a sample a while back, and finally purchased a full size bottle. If you've never been to a musty new age shop, this is a musty new age shop in a bottle. Old books, dark corners, boxes of incense that have been there since the 1970s with sun faded labels and covered in dust, and human musk that's been blended in with so many oils and smoke that it's not so much body odor as another part of the magic. A favorite in my whole collection.
