Prelude to Spring
Mesmerizing.. I did have high expectations, but I never thought I would be as baffled as I am right now : No note in Baghari acts like it usually does; they all are orchestrated together to serve a higher cause. A masterpiece.

Robert Piguet Baghari was originally created in 1950 by Francis Fabron, then was discontinued. It was released in 2006, created by Aurelien Guichard. It is a warm floral aldehyde with notes of citrus, rose, jasmine, iris, aldehydes, amber, and vanilla.
From Now Smell This - "Baghari smells as if the perfumer were dreaming of No. 5 seen through Rita Hayworth’s sunglasses. Baghari has all the throwback glamour of a Champagne coupe full of fizzy aldehydes, but its heart is loaded with musty flowers and dried orange zest, dusted with fine-milled powder."
From Bois de Jasmin - "The whiteness of aldehydes in the new Baghari is instead replaced with sweet, almost candy-like notes. The woody dryness of the base is laced with a pronounced dose of iris which preserves the luxurious effect while lending a modern lustre to the composition. Yet, the heart of the composition allows a glimpse of the original romantic softness resulting from the rainfall of flower petals."

Baghari is a tough one for me to review. I love the amber/vanilla/aldehydes combination, but I'm concerned that it tends to go a bit "diapery" on me. The sillage and longevity is wonderful. I love smelling it on my clothes the next day, once the powder has dried down and only the amber/vanilla is left. I think the diaper aspect will prevent me from buying a bottle, though.
