I like you...
So, where do I start?
I generally don't write many reviews. I prefer it short and snappy and writing and reading a review simply takes more time.
Well, yes. We've sorted that out.
However, this fragrance cannot be put into words so quickly.
It literally screams: "Hey, you can't just dismiss me with a few nice words! Describe me, advertise me, explain me!"
All right.
It was a blind buy. I generally don't do that because I'm too afraid I won't like the fragrance. At the price (I paid €30 + shipping), I thought to myself "okay, you can't go far wrong - if the fragrance isn't for you, you'll have a nice bottle in your collection".
Of course, I did a bit of research beforehand and watched YouTube videos.
How could it be otherwise.
I let myself be convinced. When the fragrance arrived... Curiosity was high, I unpacked the bottle, almost with shaky hands, so that the beautiful thing almost fell out of my hand :/ Just barely held on.
Smelled both my wrists to see if there was still one "free" or if I had already used both sides - lucky me - sprayed it on.
At that moment, I had the words of people I had seen in YouTube videos or whose reviews I had read in my head. "La Belle, honey, honey, honey, celery, Maggie spice, Quentin Bisch, nothing special, I'm in love....etc. pp."
I myself first smelled burnt sugar with bitter almond. Something along the lines of Escapade Gourmande and definitely in a positive sense. There was possibly a hint of apricot, but I could be wrong.
Thought to myself, "hey, at least no celery." That would have been tragic.
At the same time, I sprayed it on a test strip. After waiting a bit... the scent smells much fresher here. I can even smell the rhubarb.
After waiting a bit: honey without flowers (I personally don't smell them)
Towards the end: labdanum, vanilla, musk march towards the drydown.
It's definitely worth waiting for this one. It is heavenly....
I honestly have to admit that I missed the leather a little. A light, very fine touch would have been nice. But maybe it was so finely woven that I couldn't even smell it. Who knows.
I can't say much about the comparison with La Belle.
I myself only own the La Belle Le Parfum
When I compare the two on the test strip, I also recognize a vibe or slight similarities BUT I find that Teriaq is simply much cuddlier, warmer, more caramel-like. And this note of burnt sugar is very present in my mouth.
La Belle is fruitier for me.
Do you have to have both?
Not necessarily. Which one you prefer depends on you.
But I will definitely try layering both ;)
My conclusion:
A beautiful fragrance with La Belle vibes but nonetheless a pretty independent scent. Definitely not a crowdpleaser.
H/S easily a 10, the fragrance scents your fellow human beings as well ;)

A Midsummer Night's Dream in Dubai ..
I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to write a comment on this perfume, or if a statement would suffice. But this perfume deserves more than a statement. It deserves a hymn of praise.... A street named after it, a stadium named...
