I was dubious about buying this as I couldn't procure a sample and it's only available in 100ml. I needn't have worried. This scent is absolutely delightful, longer lasting than many other ELDO scents, and I can't get enough of it. (Please never discontinue this. 100ml will certainly not be enough!) Spicy, herbal, and slightly woodsy are all good descriptors, but like the ballet it's named after, it is more than the sum of its parts. This is the sexual melange of spices, herbs, florals (the immortelle, rose, and iris create a wonderful blend that has slight powder notes but is sultry) that one might expect from encountering a saytr in the woods and I'm enthralled. Certain scents can turn really powdery on my skin and this one avoids that. The dry down is herbal and spicy with a slight masculine rose note. For those familiar with ELDO scents, I'd say this lands between Hermann (less outright woodsy/fresh) and Attaquer Le Soleil (much more complex and herbal, but the projection/longevity is similar). I would caution that respraying/reapplying it too frequently brings out more of the herbal notes than the spices (not unpleasant, but it does change the scent). I am truly shocked this isn't more popular! Like the seminal ballet, this really is one of a kind and deserves higher praise.
