Sharp aromatic vanilla with a gin-like accord
I swear I wanted to jump on the hype train and add a Francis Kurkdjian perfume to my collection, but it will not be this one. Really thought I'd love it based on the notes, but on my skin, it's a whole different story.
Vanilla accompanied by a blast of gin accord (probably the alcohol and the juniper berry) at the start. Then I get a strange rose (?) scent that's floral and aromatic, although there's none of it in the notes described (I'm still baffled). After this alien rose ends up leaving, I get sweetness, spices and a hint of woodiness underneath. There's a sharpness in this perfume that's off-putting to me and I just can't get over it. After about an hour or so, aromatics remain while vanilla and musks start peaking through. It's unfortunately not enough to save this perfume that smelled almost like an alcoholic drink.
Maybe it's a skin chemistry thing or maybe it's just the hype train that promised me something that wasn't there. I'm just glad I got to try and and didn't fall for the FOMO because this is definitely not the best vanilla i've smelled out there.
