Perfect for layering and messing around!
The opening is very creamy and balsamic. If you were expecting a strong, masculine oriental bomb, you may be a little disappointed. But many people are looking for a more subtle oriental fragrance, and this fragrance is just right for them. The beginning is pleasant, but still somewhat undifferentiated. After a few minutes, the citrusy top notes join in, rather orange, and the cypress adds a little green touch, but it is barely perceptible. Then it becomes more floral, neroli comes through with a hint of cardamom, all on an orange base with light vanilla in the background. Earth and wood, accompanied by patchouli, are present in the background, but very subtle. It remains balsamic-creamy and fruity, rounded off with amber. I do not smell rosemary. Nothing stands out extremely, there are no fancy gimmicks, just a rounded, pleasant fragrance.
It should be noted that there are no extreme phases in this fragrance, it remains fairly consistent. This can seem boring, but it is often exactly what you want from a fragrance that you like. Here, you know what you have and that makes it a good all-rounder right from the start. As with most citrus fragrances, the fruitiness recedes somewhat as the fragrance progresses and is replaced by a sweetness. After that happens, you really notice the earth for the first time: a warm, vanilla earth with a citrus touch and some flowers around it. It actually stays that way. Definitely unisex, but not a fragrance for 90-60-90 with sprayed lips and high heels #nohate. Rather something more mature. However, if you don't like vanilla, you should keep your distance, because vanilla is quite present after the first hour.
One advantage is clearly that it is an all-rounder for an oriental fragrance and is suitable for every season. I would only reach for something else in midsummer. Sprayed discreetly, it is also suitable for the office, beautiful and comforting.
One negative point is that it is not the most complex, deep or varied fragrance. It remains fairly linear and can therefore come across as monotonous and boring. And after about 1.5 hours, it also resembles those vanilla deodorants that girls used to wear when they were at school. As I personally am not a fan of this, I recommend layering if you feel the same way. Then it really makes a statement.
You can't go far wrong with this fragrance, it's good, long-lasting and affordable at 20 euros. A good oriental fragrance for anyone who wants to smell nice without attracting too much attention. Is it a must-have? No. Should you try it anyway? Definitely, its linearity makes it a perfect base for layering and its lack of complexity opens many doors for your own creations. And that's exactly why, and because the bottle and price are also right, I give it a stable 7.5, which you can quickly turn into more. If you've found any great fragrances that go really well with it, let me know.
