strange projection!?

Hello everyone, I acquired the fragrance last year in Dubai and have since tested and worn it extensively. It has even become my signature and all-rounder.

Scent: At first a bit fruity-fresh and then over time somewhat "dusty." I don’t know if you can relate, but when a fragrance is dry, I perceive it as a bit dusty, but definitely not in a negative way. This feeling might be caused by the slightly leathery accord, as the leather comes across as quite dry, yet extremely comforting due to the freshness.

How did others perceive the scent?: Personally, I didn’t find it that potent, yet I received numerous compliments for the fragrance, which surprised me, as I assumed it wasn’t that strong.

Sillage: I have never found this fragrance to be strong, yet I have recently been convinced of the opposite. Regarding longevity, I can say that it lasts about +6 hours on my skin.

Packaging/Price: I think the packaging and bottle are fantastic; a great spray head has been used, and the packaging is also top-notch for the price. Now about the price: if we go by the normal exchange rate (1€ = 4 AED), the bottle costs 500 AED (125€) for 75ml, which I find more than realistic.

Aventus: I can understand the association but actually find this one even better.

Ambroxan “dusty”? Or something else?

I can't really relate to that, even though this is my second bottle of the fragrance and it's almost empty again. But I can try to focus on whether I can smell something metallic.

I don’t get the dusty feeling that I’m used to get from any ambroxan based fragrance, but I get a metallic I cannot figure it out.

No, I wouldn't say that. Maybe "dry," possibly due to the leathery note.
