From absolutely amazing opening to the boring dry down
This is the first Electimuss in my collection. I have tried many, but nothing has really stood out to me. This scent is a bit bland overall, but the scent is so intoxicating and addictive for the first hour that I love it and keep spraying it.
The sugary dates with the perfect spicy Cardamom smell irresistible. If Madeleine feels like roasted Chestnut, Moroccan Medjool feels somewhat roasted dates (if you could cook it in the same way). The scent is earthy thanks to Oakmoss and the sweet caramel melts perfectly around the dates. The floral heart is completely enveloped in this sweet, yet not edible, blend, but Carnation provides a spicy note, balancing the sweetness. Ylang Ylang, on the other hand, gives its own kind of sweetness to the dates and a fullness to the texture, which is not creamy at any point though. The aroma is sensual and seductive and works regardless of gender. As the scent develops, it gradually shifts towards a more masculine direction, losing its sweetness and the initial intoxicating feeling unfortunately disappears. The cashmere wood in the base makes the dry down feel synthetic and impersonal, but I really avoid that by adding scent often. The scent does last a long time, but it ends up being boring. Those who have a problem with adding scent probably won't appreciate the scent as much.
You have to spray this a lot (also on your clothes) to bring out the potential of the scent. The whole trick is in the bubble and sillage of the scent, which follows you faithfully.
I rated the fragrance based on what I get out of it in the early part of its life cycle. If I were thinking about the dry down, the rating would be lower, I would say 6. I like this much more when the weather is warm but it's a year around scent.
Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review.
