Sensual oriental embrace...
As a Libre Eau de Parfum Intense lover, I naturally had to try this fragrance here, as both fragrances are quite often compared with each other in their DNA.
The opening is an explosion of saffron that I have never experienced in a fragrance before. Funnily enough, the opening doesn't necessarily remind me of saffron, but of the typical bitter almond aroma (used in baking). Very tart, very bitter and, in my opinion, even very almond-like to marzipan-like (although almond is not listed).
However, this explosion fades within a few short minutes and what remains is a sensual, sweet, warm and yet fresh oriental fragrance. The soft orange blossom and vanilla come through, paired with a freshness that I can't quite put my finger on. For me personally, there is even a hint of mint in the background (although again, not listed).
I can somewhat understand the comparison to Libre Eau de Parfum Intense. Nevertheless, I feel that this fragrance is very unique and "stands on its own". The heart notes are very distantly reminiscent of the typical Libre intense DNA, but have their own personal character.
The fragrance is warm and sweet. However, because there is always a certain freshness in the background, it is not a headache fragrance that overwhelms you.
In my opinion, it leans more towards the masculine. A light and, as a woman, nevertheless pleasant smelling note of men's shower gel or after-shave is perceptible.
The fragrance is warm and inviting. It definitely tends towards a Mediterranean aesthetic (dark hair, dark eyes and tanned skin).
With time, the praline note comes out more and it even starts to smell edible. The image and smell of raw cookie dough comes to mind.
In the drydown, it develops woody and soft at the same time, even with a hint of creaminess. Anyone who knows the scent of cashmere candles will also find it here. Sweet, woody and soft at the same time.
Overall, I find the fragrance very pleasant, inviting, warm and incredibly sensual. I have it on right now and can't stop sniffing my arm. It already has a certain addictive factor.
