One of the highest quality from Byredo
I admit I had my doubts at first whether this small exclusive series from Byredo was any good. Nevertheless, this fragrance had to be tested extensively, I was too curious. And what can I say, it is probably one of the most complex creations of the house.
I am not a big tuberose lover and try to avoid it rather, but here it is so finely balanced that it is not only bearable but absolutely beautiful and complementary! Amazing that I experience myself once again to praise tuberose use. The whole creation is simply round and it seems to me that this composition was not created in a hurry. The fragrance constantly oscillates between classic and modern and forces you to sniff your own wrist. In my opinion, the plum is clearly perceived over the whole head and heart note. During the heart note, an interplay between jasmine, lily and rose, which together smell like a 1000€ bouquet of flowers. I don't really smell carnation, but I do smell a steady, very soft, woody undertone that gets more and more pronounced as the hours go by. One thing that always excites me is the course of the sweetness. The scent has a certain basic sweetness, not too daring, rather well dosed. The first sweetness you notice is a plum sweetness and at some point, very secretly, this sweetness changes into a discreet honey sweetness that is quite untypical for honey. In the last hours I perceive a kind of rosewood and the just mentioned honey note. I see this fragrance for evening occasions, extraordinary events and special moments. Too special to wear it just like that. The price alone hardly allows this perfume as an everyday scent anyway.
A laudable creation from the house of Byredo!

The beginning
It's him. Oh, the things you've done. So inconspicuous in your little bottle, you created a small world for me. Clearly my favorite of the three Dior Homme Sport versions (2008,2012,2017)
To anticipate what follows is something very personal and for me formative.

Hidden superpower
The only fragrance in the Les Elixirs Precieux range where I wouldn't recommend wearing it pure. Not because it doesn't keep what it pretends to be, no because it can do much more than you might originally think. Applied pure and rubbed into the skin...
