After it’s initial rush of horse liniment, Fela settled down into a really lovely skin scent on me. There is just the faintest tinge of incense smoke, as though I’d walked past the priest swinging a censer at high mass but most of what I get is a quiet blend of iris and savory (not sweet) vanilla. I’d expected a tiger and got a purring kitten. But that’s not such a bad thing. I’ve got lots of ‘fierce’ in my fragrance wardrobe.

Drama Nuui is absolutely full bottle worthy for me. When PG is good, they are very very good and I do happen to love my jasmines a little bit on the green and sluttish side…..:”> There is absolutely some lily lurking around in here, but I don’t think it’s LOTV. I’d be more inclined to think it’s one of the larger lily varieties, some of which can also be quite green.

My experience is the same as Elle’s about pure florals – they smell nice, then they sit in the closet unworn. Thus I’ve stopped purchasing them.

As for Felanilla, it smelled like Iris Silver Mist layered over L’Artisan Vanilia. Drydown is basically identical to Vanilia on me. Drama Nuui was not indolic, just a pleasant jasmine on me, but I’m not a jasmine fan so I sampled it just out of idle curiosity. Neither one was FBW for me. Much prefer L’Ombre Fauve.

Saffron sl*t that I am, I’m really enjoying Felanilla and will definitely be getting a full bottle. It’s one of the first PGs I’ve enjoyed in quite a while. I’m still trying to decide if I need a FB of Drama Nuui or not. I quite like it, but just don’t know if it’s a scent I will wear enough of to merit getting more than a decant or large sample. I find that as much as I enjoy them when I try them, my pure floral scents rarely get any attention from me after they arrive at our doorstep. They’re beautiful, but they don’t seem to work for me to balance out or enhance moods. I’m looking for work horse scents these days.
I know I got a sample of Lucienne from a friend in Europe a couple of years ago, but I can’t remember exactly what it was like. I do know, though, that I wasn’t impressed enough to try to get a bottle and I’m wondering if it was because I picked up on the celery you mentioned. Am going to have to see if I can find that sample or get another.

Funny….I got the vanilla first, then the Tiger Balm, which blew the vanilla right out…now it’s back to a caramelish vanilla which is fine, though it’s way low on my list of Notes I Love. No incense, no smoke….dang.
