Opus Oils created Dirty, Sexy, Wilde to mark the one year anniversary of the opening of their Jitterbug Perfume Parlour. According to them, it was inspired by turn of the century perfume formulas for handkerchiefs.
To go with that turn of the century inspiration, they chose the image and name of the famous wit, the Irish writer, Oscar Wilde.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Dirty, Sexy, Wilde is, in fact, dirty and sexy. The green galbanum has an almost pine-like smell in the beginning. It's tarted-up with a little mandarin, then eases into a heart of dirty jasmine. It's also very animalic, right from the start; if you don't like civet be forewarned. It dries down to a lovely warm, floral, musky leather and salty skin. Dirty, Sexy, Wilde is like a warm and very rumpled bed, or the skin on your lover's neck the next morning. It's wonderfully indecent and charming at the same time. Pure sex.

Did you say galbanum? oooh la la! I don't know how I feel about civet, but I'll try it. Plus, I dig Wilde.
ReplyDeleteIt surprised me the other day that I'm actually falling for dirty scents. :) So this one sounds very interesting, especially since I really don't mind some civet.
