Potent, thick oud raspberry

Although this is technically a fruity perfume, oud and tobacco take an unexpected driving seat. Sweetness of the raspberry lingers in the background, overshadowed by the heaviness of the smoky oud. This is a perfume hard to pull off.

Smell is linear throughout the wear, with above average good projection and sillage.

I loved it on a tester strip but it’s causing nausea when sprayed on my skin. Very unique but also very weird, and definitely not a safe blind buy.

Spring from the Bottle

What a bottle, what a color, I just have to have it. That’s what I thought when I saw this for the first time. But then I saw that it is limited and not available for purchase in Germany at all. So I first participated in a sharing. As soon as I sprayed the fragrance, I was hooked, it simply has to be in my collection! Said and done, luckily my sharing filled up quickly and the bottle was ordered from France. The wonderful egg looks fantastic on my perfume shelf, very unusual and the pattern of the egg is just great!

Now to the fragrance itself. As soon as I sprayed it, a powerful raspberry/pear liqueur greeted me, quite thick and very authentic but not sticky or gooey. The color of the bottle is reflected in the scent, the liqueur seems light pink and delicately creamy. A beautiful combination is now forming. The liqueur of raspberry and pear melts like the filling of a candy and now blends with a soft, light smoky note that comes from a wood that appears so clean and fresh as if it has been waiting to join the liqueur, simply fascinating and incredibly beautiful! There is no dirty oud note here, instead fine, very subtle spices play with the wood and the liqueur, and an incredibly pleasant sweetness makes the scent a dream. It is slightly bitter/dry, sweet, fruity, and delicately creamy. It is very, very pleasant to wear on the skin; for me, the fragrance develops over time into a fruity and slightly smoky cream. The raspberry runs through the entire scent journey and invites you to sniff and dream again and again. A perfect spring fragrance, as it reminds one of the light fruitiness of pink flowering trees, warm sun rays, and incredibly good moods.

On my skin, the fragrance lasts over 10 hours, the sillage is very pleasant and very noticeable in the first hours, then it becomes a bit more intimate. A fragrance that is a pleasure from start to finish, and I am incredibly happy that I chose this for my collection! Anyone who has the opportunity should definitely test it.

Raspberry and Tobacco? Does it smell good?

Yes, it does!
Since I have always wanted to test a "egg," I chose this one.
It starts with a gentle, shy raspberry with a hint of pear that makes it feel very soft. After a few minutes, the noble, high-quality, and non-biting tobacco joins in, creating a beautiful, extraordinary combination.
The tobacco is not piercing but very pleasant for the nose. You can imagine a tobacco that floats on a cloud.
Later, something heavy comes in, giving the scent a "cuddly" and warm feeling.
Additionally, it is a real eye-catcher and a rose gold dream.

The scent lasts for days on clothes and almost the whole day on the skin.

Sweets Next to Incense Sticks

Fragrance notes often read seductively... Whether the scents are indeed as one imagines, one only knows when it arrives.
Fortunately, there was a sharing for this beautiful fragrance, and being cautious as one tends to be in this price range, I first bought a small amount (2-5ml). That's enough for testing...
The scent arrives, and from the large envelope, there's already a faint smoky whiff.... Confused looks on my part, who smoked while decanting?! Or was it the postman who stored his ashtray next to the mail?
No, no... it turned out quite differently.

I took the small sample spray and sprayed it right away. BUT no more ashtray, smoke, just a hint of an incense stick. That aligns much more with the scent that greeted me from the envelope.
Alongside the smoke, there are clearly many sweet undertones, which do not become sticky or kitschy, but are beautifully softened by the smoke (which is indicated here as burnt wood).

Davana spices up the sweetness that comes from wonderfully fresh-sweet-herbaceous raspberry water. In the raspberry water, there are also a few freshly plucked flowers, whether pear or others, I can't quite make out. Tobacco adds a bit more spice, the scent changes, becoming not sweeter, but spicier. This spice lingers alongside a sweet hint of raspberry for hours with me...

Oud, if present, is not noticeable, doesn't hurt, but one shouldn't search for it either, because if it's hiding here, it's very well integrated. Fir and musk provide a final touch of freshness, where one might otherwise wonder how it would be to walk around with an incense stick. But there's no need for that fear... In my opinion, the scent is a wonderful sweet/spicy/smoky/delicious all-rounder. Whether I would wear it at high temperatures of +25 degrees, I don't know, but definitely in spring, autumn, and winter, and it doesn't bother anyone in the office (which I am very glad about).

However, I would like to note that I wouldn't particularly enjoy smelling this scent on a man; for my nose, it definitely leans too much towards the feminine side... Unless the gentleman is a bit of a sweet tooth.. ;)

By the way, the bottle is mega pretty!

The nose behind had a goal…

Do you sometimes wonder what the creator might be going through in a life situation while developing a fragrance? With this one, it became clear to me after about an hour! The person really wanted to quit smoking. However, they already failed at several attempts! Help was needed. In the form of a fragrance. After some pondering, the brainstorming yielded the following evaluation: firstly, squeaky sweetness spoils the desire. Chewing gum provides distraction and engagement, and most importantly: the nasty smell of hands after cold ash and the uncomfortable full ashtray on the living room table, into which someone has also spilled some watery raspberry juice. - yes! Brilliant! This also keeps even the most seasoned smoker from reaching for the next cigarette.
Hubbabubba quite artificial in the head and then… what lasts until the bitter end is the ashtray and the smoke-scented hands. Clear recommendation for quitting smoking; otherwise, unfortunately, the fragrance completely disappointed me.

Powdery, tender, not juicy raspberry with cozy musky base. Not smoky, nor oudy. Not sure if the synthetic vibe bothers me. Enjoyable.
