The perfume is one of the new wave of American fragrances that are attempting to unseat the French as the capital of the perfume world. Working with Mandy Aftel, the perfume has been created to show exactly what the USA market can produce in terms of high quality and affordable perfumes. The perfume is a great representative of this niche in all circumstances. It is hoped that their future endeavors will enjoy the same kind of success because the perfume is simply a treasure.

The Brand

The Aftelier brand is all about creating unique products that combine an American charm with the latest high end techniques. It is a marginally irresistible brand for those that have patriotic fervor flowing through their veins. However one must assert that it is not all about patriotism. The brand is quite capable of standing on its own and challenging the very best of them.

The Fragrance

The fragrance is based on a combination  of wild mushrooms and an earthy hue that makes it somehow erotic. It is a really animal perfume and not for the faint hearted. The floral theme makes it even more erotic rather than pure.  It can remind the user of farm work and some people have described it as smelling like a barnyard. This is an innovative perfume that can challenge the senses. Some people might like it while others will hate it but it cannot be ignored at any rate.

The Packaging

For some reason the packaging reminds me of a chocolate desert. It has a rather oval shape that sits on a flat bottom with a pearly top and some chocolate coverings on the side. This might appear to be a rather unusual design for a perfume bottle but when one first smells the earthy scents, it becomes clear that the brown is the earth and not the chocolate. In that sense the packaging is harmonious with the perfume. This can only be a good thing.

General Customer Feedback

There was a respectful curiosity on the part of the customers because they did not expect a perfume to smell like that. However some were enthusiastic while others were less enthusiastic.
