The fruity one
Number three of my journey through the Private Key series by Armaf with Private Key to my Love.
When I track it down, I immediately get vibes of Erba Pura and Kirke, but this one consists of fewer top notes, you can feel that. The focus is clearly on the blackcurrant and pear; I only detect hints of peach. It becomes a little sweeter and heavier as it progresses, but retains the notes of the opening.
Due to the density and weight of the fragrance, I would clearly classify it as a winter fragrance. In the warmer months, I think it quickly leads to headaches. It is also the most feminine of the range, even if it can easily pass as unisex.
All the fragrances in the Private Key range have no performance problems due to the extrait concentration. But this one is on a different level. I applied it in the morning, one spray on my arm as I wasn't sure if I would be able to smell it all day. The next day at the same time and a shower later, it was still there, just like the day before! So the performance was great, but a bit too much for my liking.
If you like Kirke or Erba Pura and are looking for an equally potent alternative, you'll find it here. It is independent in my opinion and not a dupe, but conveys similar vibes to the two.
