The quick-change artist

Either there's something wrong with me or this fragrance is the true quick-change artist...

When you read all the reviews here, you expect a very masculine and cool fragrance that smells clean or, as mentioned below, like aftershave. I didn't experience or feel any of that at all.

On my skin, it developed beautifully into a warm, gentle fragrance. There was a lot of saffron and warmth, really a lot of warmth. I was also recently allowed to test Cappadocia by Memo, where saffron was really cool for me in the opening, but here I had the warmth and security.

Have you seen the comic drawings with the people who have been exposed to radioactivity and their whole bodies are glowing and shining? I couldn't shake the feeling that I was becoming one of those people. This fragrance surrounded me with its warmth and didn't let go for several hours! As if my skin was radiating sunshine.

After a while, sweetness and spice came closer and saffron moved to the back, but was still present. I could not identify lavender. The whole composition was not penetrating or too much, but it was constantly perceptible. The whole process was very harmonious and simply fascinated me!
For me, fragrances usually last very poorly or not at all, even the strongest ones, but this fragrance lasted well into the afternoon. That is a top performance and happens very rarely.

I was honestly looking for a stronger perfume that I could use for layering because nothing lasts on me, but the scent surprised and impressed me so much that I want to wear it alone.

And maybe a side note to the ladies who don't dare - this fragrance didn't seem masculine or manly to me at all, you can wear it very well as a woman, test it on your skin and not on paper. If the chemistry is right, this fragrance is truly magical! And don't be afraid of oud, everything is just perfectly coordinated here.
