Queen of The Night The Merchant Of Venice 2023

At the beginning, I perceive it as resinous, with a hint of coconut accompanying us for one to two hours. During the scent development, I thought I smelled something like paper. The fragrance is quite smoky and has a strong sillage. After spraying it on a test strip, I left the room, and upon returning, the whole room smelled.
Of course, fragrances should also be applied to the skin - that’s how I generally test them.

A little later, Queen of the Night also reminds me of cotton candy and becomes slightly leathery. A smoky bourbon vanilla then becomes increasingly dominant. I find the scent development very rounded and harmonious, the fragrance notes are well intertwined.

The bottle is a true work of art, however, the price of 300 - 350,- € is "somewhat" exaggerated. There are no exotic or expensive notes like oud present.

Now I am also curious about Vinegia21, although I don’t like the bottle at all. A great vanilla scent would still be missing from my collection.
