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.

I’ve ordered over a dozen sample sizes to try to narrow down my choice. Rein was an early favorite, but did I have $165 worth of love for it? After sampling the highly-lauded Rein Intense Incense, I knew the original Rein was PERFECT for me. Rein gets my imagination going! It’s a 400 year old palace in a bottle. There’s the scent of ancient wood, time-worn faded tapestries hanging on the walls, the smoky trail of of a candle recently snuffed, fine bed linens still slightly damp from a recent rendezvous, finishing with a hint of powdery floral, ultimately submitting to a flush of dark spices. Each casual sniff will envelop you in waves of a lust-filled embrace. Do not fail to at least sample this decadent, naughty fragrance!
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!
Fabulous and incredible scent!
One of the best of this perfume house- I

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
