When a fragrance promises amber, musk, and vanilla, it can only be a hit - or so I thought,

Finding the perfect scent is always a tricky business. If just one note is off, it can ruin the whole fragrance. It's a shame when you expect something different from what you get. But hey, there are still so many other scents out there ;-)

Such a shame, it could have been better. Still worth a try though! :)

Oh, I'm quite curious about this one, but it doesn't sound very enthusiastic.

No, unfortunately not, my excitement beforehand has sadly faded away.

I would have guessed that too. The first average rating, the testers before you were quite impressed.

I also feel a bit like an "outsider" right now, but I can't change that. That's how I experienced it, and I'm just being honest about it.

You shouldn't promise anything you can't deliver.

Yes, that's a real shame; I think there could have been much more to it.

Amber-musk-vanilla seems to be in just about every base. I prefer it to be more complex :-)

Sometimes I like simple scents, but then they definitely HAVE to offer much more.

I found it rather disappointing, unfortunately. It’s probably because I already had a scent image in my head that just didn’t match the fragrance at all. 🤷‍♂️

I'm really interested, especially since it's being compared to Absolute Aphrodisiac, which I absolutely love 🙈

since those are definitely some of my favorite scent notes. I can perceive them all: the subtly spicy amber, the lightly smoky vanilla, and the fluffy musk. But somehow, I feel like this fragrance is "driving with the handbrake on." I find it very subdued, and I miss a certain radiance. I wish I could have liked it so much more!

Unfortunately, that hope hasn't been fulfilled.
