Scent Of Desire, The (Le Perfum Du Desir) Review

Description
This is a couples feature with condom use, and filmed in French, but with an English soundtrack option. A group of young men and women visit a friend in the countryside, and they wander off in pairs to have sex.

General Impression
It's beautifully shot, with both indoor and outdoor scenes, and the cast are very good-looking young people. The sex is also good, but slow in places. There's a positively dreamy, slow, languidness to a lot of the scenes. The women often seem very passive. And some scenes are abruptly interrupted, to continue later. It has a few things that I really liked -- for example, realistic tease. Not just women teasing the men, but the men teasing the women a little. And not "Spread your butt-cheeks, baby," tease, but natural tease like pressing up against each other, withdrawing a bit, giving an inviting look. It was much more what you'd do with another person, rather than what you do for a camera.

Sex
Melanie nods off as the group is traveling by car to Phillippe's house. She dreams a gauzy, soft-washed sensual experience in which she is lying in a garden on a blanket wearing strands and strands of pearls, having her body worshipped by Pascal. She moans placidly as he takes her in missionary in firm, slow, regular strokes. She wakes up in the middle of this dream.

They stop the car so that Lea can take a pee break, and her boyfriend Titoff is with her. They see that they are near their friend's house, and decide to walk there while the others drive on ahead. The creepy music hints that someone is watching them, as the have some nice tease, dick-sucking, and standing sex in the woods.

At Phillippe's house, Melanie continues her dream reverie with Pascal, in cowgirl, but also without a finish.

The friends meet in the living room and discuss an incident in which a friend, Sheherezade, stops her car to pick up a stranded traveler, who turns out to be her ex-boyfriend, Ian. There are some really nice shots of her laying across the front seat of her car as he stands outside the door fingering and tonguing her, before they move to standing mish on the hood of the car. There's a piston-regularity to the fucking that would have been nicer broken up with different pacing and him withdrawing a bit to tease her, but it was still quite nice. Doggie anal follows, with a bit of odd other-worldly music.

Tiffany is upstairs in the shower, but welcomes in her boyfriend Phil for a romp in the tub.

Phillipe reminisces over his lost love, Monica. We see a flashback of a threesome that the two of them shared with Marc, in which Monica begins tied up as the men lick her. Lots of kissing and stroking before she moves into a spoon with Marc, then a cowgirl with Phillipe that becomes a dp. A reverse cowgirl follows, for a fairly hot scene.

Lea goes down to the cellar for a bottle of champagne, which gives Titoff another go at her. She tears his clothes off, sucks him, and fucks him. Still, it wasn't a scene with much punch.

Melanie has another sexual fantasy, this time imagining Phillippe's house as the bordello that it used to be. Titus is in a room with Valentina, who masturbates as Titus and Mia work each other's clothes off. This scene got my attention - all those corsets and stockings and that jazz guitar music. Of course, both women get boned. I enjoyed this yummy scene.

Melanie is sleepy again, and this time she sees herself with Phillippe and his old flame, Monica, in a threesome. It's a decent scene, and Phillippe has a really nice dick.

Summary
Beautiful and artsy, slow but sexy.
