DesirToxic is a good deal when considering it’s a blend of Opium Pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, A*Men Pure Havane from Mugler, and with hints of PDM Layton. I actually prefer this one more than those two because it amalgamates the best aspects of both, but lacks something more that would elevate it to another level.
TOP NOTES
The opening is great, smooth, and nostalgic. Achieving this without disrupting the entire composition is a feat of its own.
Whether you’re young or old, new or experienced with perfumes, you’ll probably enjoy it as well. At the forefront, a burst of citrus zest dances on the skin, invigorating the senses with its lively and fresh demeanor. This quickly transitions into a delightful spicy kick, emanating from a state-of-the-art cardamom note that is blended terrifically.
HEART NOTES
Cannabis, the obvious elephant in the room, is non-existent here, so don’t worry that you’ll smell like “weed”.
It’s just a marketing ploy to keep you talking about this perfume. For comparison, this accord is more pronounced in Nasomatto’s Black Afgano. Along with black currant and still detectable cardamom from the opening, cinnamon, and tonka bean join the party, making it more sexy and inviting, which gives it a layer of intrigue, keeping the overall composition dynamic and engaging. With that said, I can also guarantee with certainty that there is also a cherry-like pipe tobacco note inside here that ties it up with Pure Havane, not disclosed in the official note breakdown.
BASE NOTES
At the foundation of the composition lies a rich woody, pipe tobaccoish, and vanillic accord which rarely goes wrong. The vanilla is more of a dusty kind, and the oakmoss is devoid of its bitterness. In the end, it provides a semi-sweet and comforting undertone along with a magnetic musk resonance to finish this symphony with a bang.
CONCLUSION
In this perfume story, there is good and bad as well. Thankfully, the positive sides are strong enough to make it all right in the end. DesirToxic fits into this tale perfectly and invites you for another ride. Is this scent a toxic desire as the name suggests? Probably not. More like a dear friend you haven’t seen for a while that brings back all the great memories you have created through life together. That’s what this is all about.
