Intense Café rose with a big flaw
This has such an awful opening.
It's spicy and green in the most unpleasant way, like pickle water or something like that, which totally clashes with the sweeter notes. Nothing in the notes list indicates this. I had my decant for a while and didn't remember much of the first trial when I tried it for the second time. I honestly thought it was turned for a moment, but luckily I keep notes on all fragrances I test, so I could read that I felt the same about it when the decant was brand new. Apparently it's supposed to smell this way.
The rest of the fragrance is nothing groundbreaking, but pretty nice. The pickle note burns of relatively quickly, and then you're left with a sweet rose and vanilla scent. It's in the same vein as Montale Intense Café (and therefore also Mancera Roses Vanilla, MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold and countless other fragrances), but softer and more powdery. The coffee and chocolate notes are rather soft here, not completely unnoticeable, but this is more focused on rose, vanilla and creamy white musk. The nutmeg adds a hint of clove-like warm spiciness that most other fragrances in this genre don't have.
I like the scent after it has dried down, but I see absolutely no reason to suffer through the opening when so many perfumes with similar drydowns exist and get to the point much quicker.
