I sniffed briefly at the sample, and it smelled very appealing, especially for gourmand fans. But on the wrist, the first hour is far too extreme and greasy even for very sweet noses. A creamy fat maker par excellence, full of cream, a bit of cocoa, and calories!
It starts powdery and very creamy. It sounds light and fluffy, but it is not at all. So sweet that it almost makes one feel sick, and today it wasn't even warm! Cream and vanilla in top form and far too much in focus. Even I don't like it anymore, and my nose hasn't developed into a bitter one in the last 18 months. The floral part with jasmine doesn't please me as much as it should have to balance out the sugar overkill. Only the cedar in the dry down beautifies the result a bit. A very extreme, unbalanced perfume, for which I am unusually glad that it doesn't last long. You really think you could get fat just from smelling it!
Longevity is around 5-6 hours, which is quite poor for this type of oriental-balsamic fragrance. But that was enough for me. The sillage is strong for this duration, and as I said, if the nose gets too close, it induces a gag reflex. So, it's not a cuddly scent, whether for man or woman. However, the shell-like bottle is nice.
A praline as a scent - please use in minimal amounts and keep away from me!
I can only agree with you. However, I didn't feel like I was getting thick from the scent, but rather suffocating. "Gag reflex" really sums it up well - a mix of shortness of breath and disgust. Once it's on you, it sticks like glue even after washing your hands three times with moisturizing soap!
