REVIEWS
Fragrantica - Why oh why has this been discontinued? Obviously, I have caught the last chance to buy some samples of it, but when I wanted to purchase the whole bottle, I couldn't anymore :( This could be my signature scent, I cannot even describe it in details why (and maybe this is unnecessary now, you cannot buy it anyway), but I love it so much. It is perfect plum scent with a character that suits my skin perfectly. I own Bibliotheque, which is also great, but this one was the original champion. So alive, so special.
Fragrantica - Oh I'm in love. What a seductive, delicious, enchanting juice. Gorgeous soft plum and peach tea osmanthus with a naughty animalic, metallic underbelly. You can really imagine a gold bullion. I wonder why it was discontinued? The Osmanthus abs was too expensive? I just snagged a travel roller and the oil is heaven. Animalic in the best possible way. I can't stop sniffing my arm! Help!
Fragrantica -I am not someone who thinks people should smell like fruit. So I was surprised to find this one quite lovely and very special. It reminded me of Amouage Interlude, especially in the middle. It's interesting how our perception of chemicals is influenced by the notes the perfumer lists. Because of the connection I'm making with Interlude I smell Immortelle strongly which is a listed note in Interlude but not here.
What I enjoy about this one is how pleasant, persistent and restrained this is. I put it on in the morning, got whiffs all day and woke up still smelling it, so that I was reluctant to shower. The thing was though, it was never overbearing or intrusive. A nice trick.
Fragrantica - Bullion is a very well blend I just love it. The plum and the leather are the dominant accords and together with the woods, musk and the flowers I get a feeling of a verry expensive cognac. For me it feels more masculine than unisex but most of the ppl who smelled it on me says that they feel it's unisex.
Fragrantica - his is a sweet, beautiful, grown up, sexy plum fragrance with a little leather and a little bit of spice. Later on you smell some musk and wood as well, but it's not cloying. Well blended, very yummy, and perfectly unisex. There is really nothing left to say except that I want a full bottle now! longevity is moderate on me, as is the sillage. Normally this would bother me, but not when something smells this good. Attention: I will swap my MOTHER for a bottle of Bullion! lol. She's short, doesn't take up much space, and vacuums a lot....not so good at cooking but we're talkin' you will have the cleanest house on the block! ok, just kidding....I think
Fragrantica - This fragrance is a masterpiece and It's addictive! When my tiny sample went out i felt really empty, like a big, important part of my life was missing. I bought two new decants as fast as i could and next time i'm aming for the full bottle because i cant live without this one. The name "Bullion" is such a genious, wellsuited name. It's like a brew of some kind; hot and sweet, well blended. It's mysterious but yet safe and soothing. It's very fruity with the obvious plum but for me; who usually dosent really like sweet, fruity notes, this is pure heaven sent gold in a bottle.
