Almond sugar cookie

as i got this in, i tested it with a friend of mine, and we both came to the immediate conclusion: that it smells NOICE. it also doesnt smell like its note breakdown, as its actually kind of gourmandish, smelling like a freshly baked almond sugar pastry. but we differed on the intended audience, as i feel it definitely leans more femme, and she thinks it's more masculine.

speaking of the note breakdown, its not much, as its just magnolia, almond and hedione. its rich and light at the same time, its very floral and sugary as noted, its creamy and its got a surprising facet to it: its fresh too, so color me cucked. its pretty, and a little dainty.

i can see the similarities to pegasus though i think this is its own thing. this is not a room filler, but if the wind is blowing you will catch attention. longevity is good, not great, and the versatility is medium as this is definitely a daytime scent. as sweet as it is, it works well in the warm weather... damn this makes me feel pretty, not gonna lie.
so as i sit here in my Fenty boyshorts, sipping my white wine and listening to Whitney, i gotta say i enjoy this alot.
what?

Reminiscent of past

High frequency is a perfume that I really like. It's essentially clean creamy airy white flowers and powdery gourmands almonds. Imho one can see this as the modern interpretation of Dior Hypnotic Poison Edt. Strong performer, not cloying, still to be tested as it can be too much for some. The combo almonds - white flowers is to me a perfect one for brides and weddings, especially in this airy, abstract interpretation.

High pitched poison and plastic skin

Maybe this is a case of oversensitivity to certain ingredients and I'm smelling something I'm not supposed to smell, but this is an extremely sharp, rubbery and synthetic fragrance to my nose.
It's mainly poisonous amounts of bitter almond with a dry, medicinal note that I thought was supposed to be saffron or maybe leather. Nothing like that is listed, so I don't know. The rest of the scent consists of white floral notes, which I perceive at the same time as sterile and weirdly fleshy. Like someone tried to emulate human skin with plastic.
Interesting, but definitely not what I'd want to smell like.

I find the name High Frequency very fitting, even though it might not be intentional - this feels very high pitched to me.
It's bearable in extremely small doses (like half a drop, dabbed), I can see how it could be intriguing that way, but even one full spray out of a 2 ml atomizer feels overwhelming to me.

Some say that this is similar to Hypnotic Poison EDT. I remember I immensely disliked HP when I was a teenager, it smelled like a rubber glove to me. Nowadays I like it, even though it's not my favorite scent ever. And now I'm wondering... Has my taste changed like I assumed, or did older versions of HP smell more rubbery, just like High Frequency?

Heavy Femininity

At first, one can perceive a very bright floral sweet, almost sugary note that appears incredibly dense and simultaneously as intensely creamy as a body lotion, and I suspect the jasmine and its almond are responsible for this, as they hide delicate cherry-like, rather marzipan hints in the background that I particularly enjoy.

In the background, but not too far away, another floral note is noticeable, which gives the fragrance a certain clarity, indeed an intensely powdery quality, and emits a fine sweet floral feminine, even womanly shimmer, without being excessive, and I believe I can perceive the magnolia here.

A little later, the delicate scent impressions from the top note have completely unfolded.

A very dense floral sweet floral note is simply enveloped by already cooled vanilla pudding, thanks to the interplay of heliotrope and bourbon vanilla.

Over time, all the notes 'symbiotize' with each other, resulting in an almost fleshy, sweet floral creamy femininity that is hard to resist.

In the end, the vanilla, lightly jasmine-tinged scent remains! And I think it's fantastic!

Overall, the fragrance lasts 21 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed from the very beginning to be noticeably present at arm's length for 5 hours, before it gradually diminishes in very slow steps until the scent fades away.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to our perfumer "Cocinera" for the sample.

Fantastic Scent

I find this to be a very unusual fragrance and I love it. I don't know where the almonds and magnolia are; I haven't found them. I have the feeling it smells like something that doesn't exist on Earth. Nothing comes to mind. Just the scent of something fantastic!
The fragrance is dynamic, strong, and modern, for active, cheerful people who dance through life. Maybe Hedione really works? Successful composition, good longevity, and sillage.
I think it's also something for Kilian and/or Ex Nihilo fans.
