Fresh orange!
So tropical!
Good vanilla!
But then it changed
It rumbles deep
The woody ambers lurk
In the citrus grove! Run!

Run!... haha, thanks for the warning... and goodbye 🙋‍♂️

It's not wildly woody-ambery, just a little bit in the drydown 😅 otherwise, it wouldn't have scored 6 points.

Woody ambers... *sigh* In most cases, I find them very heavy. In a negative way, of course. 🤢

Yes, me too. I was on a train for 5 hours yesterday, and unfortunately, sitting across from me was a Woodyamber bomb in person. I can still smell it this morning. ME! From about 3-4 meters away! It's contagious 😵‍💫. Although, the NoaNoa is really well done, so 99 out of 100 people will find it a pleasant base vibe; only princesses and the pea like me have something to complain about.

sounds pretty good

I actually think it's nice. But the base really bothers me. So, it's a mixed verdict.

You're not exactly thrilled, are you? ;-)

Wisivc 9 months ago

No. Although I really liked the opening, the tropical-citrus vibe is nice!

That should be banned.

Maybe not forbidden. But a little skull sticker would be helpful. Although here it’s really not over the top; it just bothers me personally. But I'm really picky with synthetic woody amber and I'm not a good benchmark 😅

Is there secretly artificial wood in there again?

Translated · Show original

Wisivc 9 months ago

Yeah, it's hidden at the very bottom. I usually find it almost every time 😅

I see it that way too, better to end it than to drag it out like that!

Yes, just leave the truly good scent as it is. I found it really disappointing. At first, it was only vaguely noticeable that something (and especially what) was off, and it took me a while to be sure that this 'something' was really there and that it was bothering me the whole time. But as the hours went by, it became clearer until I had to wash it off.
So, if you're not as sensitive as I am, you might actually like it.

An overwhelming synthetic scent, I suppose.

I think I'm probably the only one who notices this. But in this regard, I'm definitely a total princess and the pea 🫣

There's probably not much in here, but a whiff the day after application from the spray head clearly proved it to me - longevity created by woody ambers. If that doesn't bother you - I initially loved the scent, there's really not much glue in it - but sensitive noses might still pick up on the fact that 'stretch powder' was used 😅 too bad. I would have preferred not to smell it after 5 hours rather than this.

I think we'll be pretty much alone in this regard with our sensitivity 😉

I felt the same way. It's a shame, but nice to read that you felt the same.
