I can't quite understand why this fragrance is rated so poorly here. But that's okay and shows once again how individual and sensitive our smelling and perception systems are.
For me, the scent begins with a subtly plush note that is very soft, pleasantly soft. This is carried on with a hint of vanilla... Strange? Vanilla is not listed in the fragrance pyramid?
With a lightly floating sweetness, this fragrance settles on the skin; you smell somehow naked and freshly creamed. Warm and sweet, but not too sweet. Almost like a salted caramel bonbon, but with significantly less sugar.
The sweetness fades, and I am soon enveloped by woods. The combination of freshly creamed and warm woods reminds me of "This Is Her! | Zadig & Voltaire," but in a more elegant, mature form. So, you are the big sister of "This Is Her! | Zadig & Voltaire," at least your relationship cannot be disputed. You seem to share the same sandalwood DNA. But it is perfect.
This perfume is great as an everyday scent, but also for going out when layered with another fragrance. My personal tip:
A pinch of Molecule 01 combined with "Faith For Fantasy | Philly & Phill" and voilà: the perfect evening companion with a touch of sexy.
Is this perfume worth its price? Not really, as €196 is a challenge for such a fragrance that convinces more subtly.
Has this perfume made it into my collection? Definitely! Because I find this scent very pleasant, mature, and seductive. The factor of smelling like freshly creamed after a shower also plays an important role here.
