This one is wierd. When I tested it I did it totally blind, expecting some ambroxan-citrus fresh designer, kinda mass appealing, but it is not the case.
It opens with a bitter bergamot, not very fresh, more spicy, then almost immediatly turns sweet floreal, distinctly powdery. It's some kind of floral bouquet, but I can perceive violet over the rest of floral scent even if not listed in the notes (A trick of my nose?).
Someone mentioned down here methyl anthranilate, and yes, it is not only listed in the materials but it is what is responsable of the "orange blossom" declared in the notes (no idea why methyl anthranilate should be "maroccan" tho). This material brings with it some grapes sweet nuances, and they are present here too paired with some wierd chemichal-metallic note that comes and goes here and there (maybe to match the silver metallic bottle). All considered it smells wierd, like not well done, the bitter-sweet contrast is somehow offputting until finally it lays down in the drydown of general patchouli thing, not too fresh, not too earthy, not committing, sort of middle of the pack ordinary designer patchouli.
I must admit that this is disappointing. Yes you can signature this (but why in the hell someone should do something like this?) because it is not too aggressive and patchouli is four season but it is not a well done fragrance, it seems rushed to me, not refined, the bittersweet idea doesn't achieve anything in particular and is somehow offputting.
And the price... I didn't even wanted to talk about it, but I can't resist, what a stupid pricing for such low quality product. Best thing is probably the bottle.
