Failed Blind Purchase

I wanted to love this scent: The blend of plum, citrus, and tonka appealed to me. After reading the reviews here and watching some reviews on YouTube, I took the plunge and made a blind purchase. I should have refrained from doing so.

In the opening, I am overwhelmed by a cloyingly sweet caramel cloud that disappears after a few seconds. What remains is a musty sweetness. The plum is hardly noticeable. To me, it smells like someone sprayed an old couch with a fabric scent spray, and now both scents are competing against each other.

Very unfortunate, as I really enjoy ripe plum fragrances. Therefore, this scent will soon leave me.

If you prefer something less sweet and creamy with plum, you should check out Cuir de Marrakech by Maïssa. It has more incense and less fruitiness, and yet feels rounder to me.
