OMIGOD , WANT !!
Yeah , that was my original reaction way back in May when I saw the color of the jus and that beautiful goth lettering . And I'm not a Sergie girl AT ALL .
The reviews , well not so much love there . But finally , Dear Ines has sent me a sample of the Paris Exclusive and I'm ready to put on skin . At first whiff the other day , I liked it . Not too woody-chemically , not too over the top , not a whiff of that awful stewed fruit...promising !
From the depths of the grave
There is a journey to make
And there is somebody to save
hear me oh God, for I here stand
Blindfolded and lost in the illusion
Cast by the spiced golden sand
I dwell, within myself in Delusion
by Daniel Conceição
So , does the Lutens creation make me think , and if it does , what do I think OF it ?
Candy . It's quite sweet on opening , but with a pleasant tart contrast , very wearable .
Violets and a papery almost nutty chrysanthemum up close , but the incense wafts from the depths and spreads around me in the most elusive , addictive way . Lovely !
And for the bottle alone , along woth the incredible color of the jus...but this is not dark nor complex , it is soft green hidden under sweet violets with a ghost trail if incense and a soapy detergent drydown .
De Profundis EDP 75ml – € 120

Available only at the Salon du Palais Royal in Paris in the famous bell jar , De Profundis has that je ne sais quois that makes for a lemming , but chances are I will never own a bottle . And that's okay . But I want to love the jus , just because I want to love and worship and adore at least one Lutens ( I love the IDEA of Borneo and own a decant which I never actually wear .) .
De Profundis " from the depths * , and also " of the profound " which takes me to " makes one think..."

I profoundly love that bottle.
Your review, along with Patty's over on the Posse, make me think this might be a perfume I would enjoy sniffing rather than wearing - it sounds very contemplative, very 'grounded' (no pun intended)...it might make a very nice, if extremely expensive, home scent.

and I agree, the bottle is lovely!
