What.. did I just smell?
Mid 20s, male, just for your information!
_________________________________
Man, what a thing. To be honest, I still don't know what I'm smelling, but I just like it.
So many things are floating in the air that you just can't agree on. Is it fresh? Is it spicy? Is it woody? Is it sweet? Man, I really don't know. It's everything, and yet it smells so good.
A composition from all different areas, initially aggressive and almost biting, it takes about 30 minutes before you have something planned, just as a friendly tip, because it is really penetrating. Not in a bad way, by no means, it smells totally special and beautiful from the start, but too strong.
After that, this biting freshness settles down in combination with a mysterious note of... incense? It definitely reminds me of earlier visits to big churches. Then it finally comes through - cardamom, ginger, lavender, the earthy vetiver, a combination I never thought possible since I’m actually not a fan of fresher scents, but here it just works. Fascination and confusion at the same time, a scent that is addictive and an absolute adventure for the nose, because you just don't know what you're smelling, but you still want more of it.
After 2-3 hours, the adventure settles down and the scent seems almost harmless, the adventure is gone. Now the lavender comes through more, it becomes woodier, sweetish, very gentle, very pleasant. And here come most of the compliments.
Overall, the scent lasts very well, 7-8 hours are possible, after that it's only perceptible up close. Others notice it VERY at first, so be careful. I'm not a fan of "You should all smell me," that's aggressive and terrible. It's better to be a bit more cautious and ensure that others can only catch a whiff of you and not know what it is, wanting more of it, wanting to come closer. After 2-3 hours, however, it’s very harmless and only noticeable in the wind.
Compliment scale: 7 out of 10. A special scent that not everyone likes, but still many do. Women give more compliments than men, but I can understand that some may not like it. I recommend it from age 20 and up, even 60/70+ absolutely recommendable.
Mom's compliment scale: 10 out of 10. If you want to impress your grandma or mom, this scent is always a secret tip. Want to impress your date's mom when she introduces you to her parents? Wear it. I guarantee you this scent will come up in conversation.

Very well described, I agree with you on many points. The only thing is, I see the compliment scale higher than 7, more like an 8.5 to 9. The only downside, at least on my skin, is the sillage; it could definitely be better, and the longevity could improve as well. But all in all, it's a perfect fragrance for any occasion and quite addictive!
