It's been on my wishlist for a long time; seeing your state, I can see why...

Yes, it has something wonderful about it. I really like it. It's just not a scent I would wear every day.

A little dirty, a little green, a little floral - paradoxical!

Paradoxically, it sounds really great, both top and bottom. 😊

Yes, I think so too. It's really a bit paradoxical ☺️

That would be interesting to see how it behaves on me. I sometimes struggle with leather notes, depending on the type of leather.

Really? For me, it's exactly the opposite 😅 yeah, that would be interesting. I find the note here quite noticeable!

It is indeed. Leather, floral, profound, and yet somehow light.

Didn't impress me much. The tuberose definitely.
Translated · Show originalShow translation
WisivcWisivc 7 months ago
I don't find the tuberose to be dominant here; it's more about the hyacinth and iris notes. But I do like tuberose, so it wouldn't bother me ☺️

It's so much fun, the scent. Especially today, since it's not hot outside, it fits perfectly.

Yes, I really like it, even though it was often before my time - not just before my Parfumo time, but before I was even born 😅

Thank you! Yes, it is a bit strong, especially at the start, but that fades quickly and turns into a floral-dry soft leather on me.

Wow, this one is really cool. Old school, no question about it, but very awesome. Not at all overpowering or intrusive, yet very present. The most striking notes for me are leather (I usually pick that out), iris, and hyacinth. Great combo, nothing sweet in there, yet well-rounded and rich. Dry iris without any powderiness, a dark violet, muted shimmer of hyacinth, plus the base brown of the leather, roughened by green-yellow speckles. For me, it's the perfect transitional scent from 24, Faubourg to Bandit. 😅

Nice, right? It reminded me of both right away, it's kind of in the middle.
