Familiarity from the Bottle
The first time I smelled BV PHE was with a small sample that came with an order.
After a few days, I sprayed it on the back of my hand for the first time, and it almost knocked me over. The scent is incredibly "dense" (for lack of better words), and you have to process what you’re taking in nasally, at least as a fragrance novice. So it wasn’t love at first sniff; I actually dismissed it immediately as too extreme and unsuitable for me as a young student. BUT: The stuff lingers longer than just a breath on the back of my hand, so I kept getting whiffs of it, and well, from "too extreme" it became "interesting," and from there, it turned into real love.
It somehow reminds me of an evening in a warm, wooden living room with my parents and grandparents, without smelling old-fashioned. It simply creates a very cozy and familiar feeling in me that I can’t get enough of.
The scent is obviously polarizing, especially among the younger crowd. However, I believe you have to give it a chance and let the depth of the fragrance work on you.
Regarding longevity, I can perceive it well for about 5-6 hours, after which it’s only very close to the skin. The sillage, in my opinion, is good, not too overpowering.
Conclusion: I love it, and I’m happy if others feel the same way. By the way, this was my first comment ;)
