Dangerous Complicity

Opens with a weird vegetal note: watery, acidic almost poisonous. Gradually warmer and sweeter notes emerge: ylang-ylang, jasmine and osmanthus layered over a warm base of sandalwood and rum. A whiff of leather and patchouli add a smoky-earthy facet to the composition. The fragrance is only truly nice once the bitter top notes have faded, but it is quiet and rather bland.

Fresh flowers

I am trying now dangerius comolicity. The scent is nice, fresh an very weareable. I like the opening very much. It is intense, a bit watery but with a very noticeable osmanthus. However half an hour later the perfume becomes very soft.
I think It is an unisex flowery scent, better for day and weareable under any weather or temperatura. The biggesr issue i find is the performance which is not very good. I would wear It during the day. Could be a good spring scent for the daily Life.

Put the rum in the coconut, but just barely.

I`ve yet to try something from this brand that I like. Most of the samples from Etat Libre d'Orange have been at best okay, and at worst, just a meh plus a yawn. They`re so...vanilla. Take this Dangerous Complicity: just what the heck is supposed to be "dangerous" here?! The "complicity" part I do get; just the marketing dudes plotting to sell you something that sounds better than what it actually is.

The opening, a promising holiday on the beach cocktail with rum, ginger and coconut, but one, two, three...GONE! Dangerous Complicity gives up and it`s a barely there, skin scent that`s nothing to write home about.

PS-It`s got nothing to do with Mandarine Sultane. Blasphemy!

Smells like my sweetheart when she's got makeup on

A beautiful women's scent. The delight with the fine flower notes of jasmine, osmanthus and ylang-ylang and the powdery mix of pachouli, cashmere wood and sandalwood. What I can still take is a fine rum note. I can't smell any leather. This make up and lipstick I smell on a woman very much. It's just something feminine, seductive. What I unfortunately don't like so much is the mediocre durability and sillage. Well, maybe it's meant to be a light fragrance for spring. The fragrance is beautiful but not unique, it is very familiar.
I can't put that scent on a man at all

traveling "dangerously" into the past ...

Old-school fragrance with the danger of traveling back in time.
Shaving foam or soap from 1984 ...Dangerous Kontrolling...Big Brother sees everything ...

Opening makes something synthetic...it seems dry, tart, masculine, like an old-school shaving foam (that's how my grandpa smelled after shaving).

For me, Dangerous is a typical men's fragrance, as a woman (although I love men's fragrances) I unfortunately find NOTHING for me in Dangerous. But it is not an unattractive fragrance.
It is an old-school fragrance.
The top note is well chosen-woody, dry, masculine -OLD school.
The transition to the heart note is well perceptible, it remains dry-old-man but with a hint of something floral.
