Parfum D'Habit. Maite parfumeur et Gantier.

Perfumist: Jean François Laporte.
Notes of vetiver, civet, mud accord, geranium leaves, amber, patchouli, castoreum, vanilla.
I only can find a word to describe this fragrance: nasty!.
It has strong connotions of farms, in a ugly way.
First spray:
Dirty vetiver root + Typhonium venosun ( Voodoo Lily), no joke!.
The animalistic notes in this perfume are as fecal as this flower aroma, exactly the same odor. I highly suspect this flower has been used in here.
Typhonium is a rare tuber from the Aracae family. The plant growns and blossom barely self-suffcient not requiring water or soil. The inflorescence is a masive brown spathe spotted on yellow and a long black spadix that exhales a strong smell of fecal or roten meat depending the species, (a characteristic of many Arum flowers). That is the main topnote: fecal, fecal, rotten. Argh!.


After 2 mt, smells of farmyards, dirty muddy soil, disgusting smell of chicken feathers, some amber and musty geranium leafs.


30 mt later, creamy leather, some patchouli and wet compost odors…

Apparently It seemed to be very masculine, leathery and sexy, but I wonder: Who want to smell like this really???.
I don’t.

I stand by the blood and metal of "Secretions Mafnifiques",that, believe me, is much more wearable!.

The power of this perfume is horrific. I wash it off, trying to wash it again, and stays prominent,sticky in my wrist...
