This fragrance divides opinion!



I don't smell the (burnt) gum note. Similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum: some people smell dentist's surgery, but I don't. My daughter tested the 5 - Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk and said she smelled some burnt stuff. Eww. I, on the other hand, smelled pleasant saffron in its most beautiful form.

5 - Floral, Amber, Sensual Musk opens floral, as in the order of the name, but spiced in combination with the saffron. And I think it is precisely this combination that makes the fragrance unwearable for many, because for some this combination is perceived as burnt rubbery.
I smell a great interplay of top notes, which I perceive as warm and ambery.
The best part comes in the drydown: it becomes sooo beautifully vanilla-like, interwoven with tonka, amber and musk. And this arrangement is sensual, unique, extremely erotic and sophisticated. Even after hours, I still notice it, but in an unobtrusive, subtle way.
I also don't think it has mega projection. Dosed sparingly, it is even wearable every day in my opinion (fall/winter).
