I wanted to love it, believe me, I really do.
But alas, I can't!
The notes sound too good to be true at first, but then I see it: Amberwoods.. oh no.
That usually means a cheap ambroxan-brew in the base, that swallows all other notes!
Upon first try, the top and heart notes develop nicely, I am loving the almost sticky date scent. It's spicy, it's sweet, it's interesting!
And then it hits me.. the "amber woods", just as expected.
Devouring all the beautiful top and heart notes until there is nothing left on my skin besides this overwhelmingly synthetic note. (didn't even take 30 minutes for that)
I get the hype, it's a beautiful first impression for a few minutes and maybe its just my personal skin chemistry that reacts very unfavourably with the "amber woods" and ruins the perfume, at least that's what I'm suspecting, but I must suspect that it's also a lack in ingredient quality.
