Inspired by a line in a poem by Rumi, the 13th century Sufi poet, “I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways", Hundred Silent Ways communicates love wordlessly through a series of little flourishes of fruit and flowers as tender as the skin of a loved one. There is an undeniably girlish flirtatiousness about Hundred Silent Ways, but it is also very elegant.
The opening is ambrosial and frankly sensual, a Rococo burst of sweet, syrupy peaches, mandarin orange, and tuberose petals so juicy sweet that you will want to gulp it down greedily, heedless of the red juice staining your mouth. Bathed in a cloud of marshmallow-soft musk, the fruit and flowers slowly become more abstract and hazier in feel, but thanks to a touch of cool, powdery iris, it never loses its sparkle. By the time you get to the nutty, savory woodiness of the sandalwood in the base, soaking up all the rich, buttery excesses of gardenia, fruit, and cream, you will have been completely won over by the inviting deliciousness of Hundred Silent Ways. It is the rare fruity floral that seduces you without so much as a word.
Mandarin, tuberose, peach, white jasmine, gardenia, orris, vanilla, sandalwood, vetiver
I was expecting this one to blow me away because I've heard it's wonderful, and it is, but nothing unique or spectacular. I enjoy the softness and creaminess of the vanilla and sandalwood, and I love that the jasmine is subdued- i barely smell it. Other than that it feels like a classic scent that you can where anytime/any season.
I wish we could give half stars on here because this would be two and a half for me. The opening smells like creamy peach for about six seconds and then dries into a perfume that smells like anything you could find at Ulta. Not my fave.
I subscribe to a TikTok for perfumes and the girl recommended this one as an “appointment” perfume. She said it lingers, she got compliments from men and women on it. Lies! If I wanted to smell like the women of Dallas in the 1980s, then this would be what I’d wear. My sample went in the trash. Too musky, way too old lady ish. I know I’m in my 40s but damn. Don’t age me that quickly.
Hundred Silent Ways
I love this scent. It is beautiful, but not overpowering. I wish it lasted longer, but that seems to be an issue across the board these days.
