1868 was the year the Folies Bergere opened its doors in Paris and the rest is history. From Josephine Baker to Gypsy Rose Lee, the showgirls were dancers who titillated their audience in provocative style. The power of sensual seduction is captured in Burlesque, an olfactory striptease.

Does what it says on the tin
It smells like lipstick, like old perfume, like makeup. It smells like the inside of your grandma's purse and then sort of changes into something else. On my friend's wrist, it smells like clear floral notes, on mine, pepper.

Aptly named
Very glamorous scent! On me it starts off with a big, fluffy cloud of dusting powder (not baby powder!), but it has a little skank underneath. Then it transitions into a slightly floral incense, and that fluffy cloud dissipates but leaves a beautifully balanced iris that keeps this from going straight into wintry/rich/dark territory. It has a vintage feel and soothes my cravings for fragrances lost. Huge love for this one.

50s esque
Boas, retro glam, powders, bottom of the makeup drawer, lipstick.....it's all there. It's not bad at all, but it's not for me.

Burlesque.
A womanly, rich fragrance that conjures up images of floral scented dusting powders and sweet, violet scented bubble bath. The scent of a woman's dressing room. Old fashioned, but charming.

your man will love it!
I love the smell but not as much as my boyfriend does! It absolutely attracts the opposite sex!
