This is the most ethereal incensey lightly sweet gourmand I have ever encountered. Its sweetness masked under the counterpart of what comes to me as slightly soapy musk, and plays hide and seek with my nose. I think it starts out solid with that rum and saffron, but in the heart it turns airy and perplexing, then towards the basenotes it comes back to the earthly world once again! What a surprise!

It is indeed versatile. Leo, Navegar reminds me a lot of Andre Putman Preparation Parfumee, just a bit heavier on pepper and juniper. It is indeed versatile.

I've rerally learned to love Navegar though for its versatility and the fact that it seems to shift into different scent sensations on different days - sometimes peppery, sometimes watery, sometimes green. A truly lovely summer scent (I think she's more of a spring / summer type, somehow). Like Chaya, I think she’s wonderful, though increasingly she doesn’t always seem to fit me well.

That's another reason why I love her so much. :) Chaya, yes, something for all tastes. That’s another reason why I love her so much.

When I smell Dzing! next to Drole de Rose (at work), I just can't help but marvel at her talent. Marina, same here.
