My signature house...
Welton London have been my signature house for a few years now. Their fragrances are unique and suit my skin perfectly. Living in London their fragrances are quite easy to come by, but I enjoy the fact that they are not mainstream or hyped. They don't reformulate as far as I know and give the perfumer plenty of freedom to use their talents to create great quality fragrances. The perfumer in this instance is Julie Pluchet, who created another one of my favourites; Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic for Clive Christian.
Lucky Charm is my go to winter fragrance for going out in the evening. I have also worn it during the day and at work but to be honest is not quite suited for that. It is part of the Talisman Luxury Collection which includes Narcotic Elixir and L'Amour Absolu, which are also in my collection.
This is a gentleman's fragrance, this is not unisex in my opinion. A gentleman who enjoys cuban cigars and a good malt whiskey. This would be lost on anyone younger than 35 to be honest. You really can smell the shisha tobacco and smokiness of the frankincense. I disagree that this is a fruity sweet gourmand fragrance. The sweetness is mild, it smells more like the wood of a humidor after many years of holding quality Cuban cigars. the amber makes the tobacco glow and very warming. Like all the fragrances in the Talisman Luxury Collection, Lucky Charm is an Extrait and has great longevity and lovely projection. The stopper is made from Bakelite, so if you know what Bakelite is, you are at the right age to enjoy this unique wonder lol.
