Hi Lillybeth,
I have sniffed all 5 that have been released. XIII is my favorite. Hands down it is one of the best tea,leather,floral perfumes that I have ever smelt. To my nose and my skin, it’s brilliant.
XII is my second favorite. If you are a patchouli fan, you may like this one. It’s extremely well blended and quite enticing. I would love to add it to my collection in the near future. The only negative is that my husband does NOT care for it at all. He reacted pretty strongly to this one.
# 1 and XI were my least favorites. # 1 is a nice iris/woody scent but too light for me. XI is a citrus/cumin blend and did not do well on my skin. The cumin was very prominent and dominant. That killed it for me.
Here’s the notes for all of them thanks to my fellow perfumista friend (Cazaubon) who introduced me to this line a week ago.
#1 L’Heure Promise, #6 L’Heure Brillante, #12 L’Heure Mysterieuse, and #13 La Treizieme Heure.
Here are the notes:
#1: petitgrain, iris, sandalwood
#6: lemon, gin and aldehydes
#10 young blackcurrant, redcurrant and blueberry (This one is only available at Saks flagship stores – I think they have a one year exclusive on this one)
#12: incense, jasmine, patchouli
#13: narcissus, mate, leather
Have a great weekend Lillybeth!

House-to-house fighting has turned The War On Christmas into an unwinnable quagmire:
We’re asking YOU to decide which retailers are “Christmas-friendly.” They want your patronage and your gift-shopping dollars, but do they openly recognize Christmas?

Who knew that Best Buy hated the baby Jesus so much?
Comment: Totally disgusted with Best Buy. Got my weekly ad in the paper wishing everyone a Happy Eid al-Adha. Never saw anything from Best Buy wishing customers a Happy Thanksgiving or Merry Christmas. I have spent thousand at Best Buy over the years. Won’t spend another penny there. BB hope you have a Happy Eid al-Adha. I’ll be having a very Merry Christmas spending my $$$’s at another electronic store.Comment: I wish I knew about this store prior to my purchase. The service was good and they were friendly. No Happy Holidays, no Merry Cchristmas nothing. Now I know why. Last time I shop here.
Gap too:
Comment: I went into the store and asked a manager about their Christmas policy. The manager was very polite,but didn’t know anything about their Christmas policy. She took my number and promised to call me when she had more information. I never heard from her. I will not shop at Gap. There are plenty of other stores out there to take my money. Merry Christmas
Comment: I have shopped at GAP since I was in high school. Unfortunately for GAP and its sister companies, I will no longer be patronizing any of their stores until a drastic change is made in their advertising in regards to honoring the GOD who gives them each breath.
Comment: First thing I notice is that they are only playing non-Christian Christmas songs (Jingle Bells, etc.). Unacceptable. I ask a clerk, “What is the reason for the season?” and I get back “What?”. I buy a shirt and when they ask me what kind of wrapping paper, I reply that I want nativity paper or something showing the baby Jesus. They say they only have snowflakes and snowmen and green/red paper. What does green and red have to do with JESUS?
