"CELINE BAREL WAS INSPIRED BY MRS. VREELAND’S QUOTE, “IF IT ISN’T A PASSION, IT ISN’T BURNING, IT ISN’T ON FIRE, YOU HAVEN’T LIVED!” TO CREATE PERFECTLY MARVELOUS. THIS IS AN UNFORGETTABLE FRAGRANCE BUILT AROUND A JASMINE ABSOLUTE FROM INDIA DRAPED IN A “GLOWING LAVA” ACCORD OF LACQUERED RED SANDALWOOD AND PIMENTO. HEADY, ELEGANT AND VOLUPTUOUS, JASMINE SAMBAC LENDS A GLOSSY QUALITY TO THE COMPOSITION WHILE EVOKING UTMOST EROTICISM. CASHMERAN, A MUSK THAT EVOKES FIRE, COMBINES WITH A MIX OF SPICES AND RESINS FOR A CRACKLING EFFECT." this is what DV's website says about the notes and I have (for rather a long time, since its inception) always favoured in "Perfectly Marvelous" the LACQUERED RED SANDELWOOD as if this small chic side dressoir was on fire and you smelt that: burning red paint unexpectedly smelling well, marvelous. these perfumes all smell divine and outrageous and possessing five flacons of 100ml. already I would want to own them all and splash on them. feeling feminine, resplendent, exceptional and chic/chique. this will do anytime for narcotic presentisms.
