Is and remains the original

It's difficult for me to write anything about him because he was so torn apart by the media hype and the countless dupes. In the meantime, it's no longer anything special for many people.
I almost don't dare to admit that I still love him and always have.

I actually hate very sweet fragrances, but it just has more than that!
At first, I hardly noticed the scent on me at all, even my boyfriend didn't notice when I wore it - yet it always radiated like that on others? But over time, it came to me and I was able to immerse myself in it. I personally find the mixture of sweetness, wood and synthetics well balanced. Well dosed, it is and remains one of the best for me.

I can no longer imagine going out without it. And I'm always asked about it! Sometimes I also wear it in my free time because it simply gives me an extra dose of self-confidence and well-being - especially in the darker months of the year, it often gets me through the day.

In my eyes, no dupe can do it justice. Neither in the notes, nor H/S. The brief hint of BR540 vibe usually disappears immediately and what remains is the sticky sweetness, which has nothing in common with it.

For me, it remains unique and a stable constant!

I applied it again today and also associate it with a portion of more self-confidence 🤗

I can only agree with you! At first, the hype surrounding the fragrance just annoyed me until I happened to get a tiny AF of it. And I felt the same way: I hardly noticed it and therefore didn't perceive it as sweet (which I really don't like at all!).
Even today, I still don't perceive it as sweet on me, rather clean, fresh, slightly woody and "pleasantly" synthetic. I now only have a slightly larger AF of it and use it very sparingly. And for me, it's also a fragrance that I wear when I want to do something good for myself 😉 Like today, for example, when I'm just at home enjoying my Sunday 😍
