wrapped up, or rather lulled. - For Relax, Sex, ...
I applied a bit from a sample - directly from the store in Venice (July 2023) - onto my skin. The liquid is light (actually colorless), and I find the scent sweet to somewhat heavy. However, it has a spicy note that conveys a sense of security. I didn't smell any mandarin at all. Since I usually smell very little from sample vials, I didn't use the applicator stick but applied it directly from the bottle, twice on the sternum.
I quickly feel enveloped in the fragrance. The vanilla and tonka bean come through strongly. Suitable for special occasions, good for going out for me. But for everyday wear, it’s too lulling; I definitely need more freshness. However, it is also well-suited for a completely relaxed day. I would definitely attribute an erotic effect to the scent.
I was really surprised by the longevity (applied at 8:00 AM, still clearly detectable at bedtime around 11:00 PM). I have never experienced anything like that before.
