A nudge in the right direction

Inspired by a promising review, I simply couldn't resist trying out this fragrance. Because obviously the name here is just smoke and mirrors. All Saints has always impressed me with powerful fragrances like "Incense City". Such intense notes are definitely my thing, but every now and then my heart longs for feel-good scents - creamy, powdery and sweet. And that's exactly what this creation promises to be.

The naming of such fragrances. Perhaps they wanted to entice those who normally tend towards hardcore fragrances that smell of leather and tobacco. Perhaps you should discover the powdery, sweet side of yourself without being considered a softie. Marketing that skillfully seduces everyone into new territory.

At the beginning, the fragrance is woody and light. Nevertheless, the floral note already flashes up. It is immediately apparent that "Metal Wave" is a delicate little work of art. The papyrus note lends a dry paper texture that makes the whole thing interesting and light as a feather. As the fragrance progresses, it becomes much sweeter and creamier, reminding me of an improved version of Molton Brown's "Milky Musk" in the finish. Powdery, dry and sweet. The only thing I find unfortunate is that the woody paper note does not remain present throughout. Nevertheless, a beautiful, powdery and almost milky fragrance remains. Really successful, especially when you take the price aspect into account.
