A red Fruit explosión over acid ambergris
I see that this perfume is rated 2.50 and I can't believe it. It smells wonderful! Any lover of red fruits, like me, would be totally surrendered to such a delight.
It opens with red fruits (it declares cherry, strawberry and raspberries but what I notice is like a red fruit jam scent because of the mixture of all of them). They are fleshy and juicy red fruits, very intense. And initially it has a beastly projection.
Gradually the aroma becomes a little more bitter and acidic, I think it could be because of the rhubarb, but without becoming unpleasant at any time, and the sweetness goes down.
After a couple of hours it gives the sensation that the perfume begins to fade. I don't know if it's due to olfactory fatigue, since I only had a small sample so I only did a single test, but it seems to smell less and less.
But then ambergris makes its appearance and as soon as you notice the intensity of the perfume has risen again lenient note as if by magic. And then the perfume changes completely and transforms into a more ambery, salty and animalic scent due to that ambergris. The red fruits are still there but they remain as if in the background.
It's been 11 hours since I put the perfume on and it's still totally perceptible on my skin. I don't know if it is still projecting but I manage to feel it from my wrist at a certain distance. The best of all is that, as if it were a chameleon, the perfume has changed again and now the red fruits are once again the protagonists. Once again I feel as if I had put a jam on my wrist, but in this case with much more animalic nuances than in the initial phase.
I have seen that this is an Eau de parfum but it lasts much longer than many of the extracts I have tried.
I understand that some may not like it because it is a simple scent (although tremendously dynamic and with an amazing performance) that brings nothing new to perfumery.
But if what you want is to smell good and smell a lot for a long time this is the right perfume. Of course, you have to like red fruits because if you don't, it's going to be difficult...
It is a 100% versatile perfume perfect for any season and for almost any situation because, despite its high projection, being a fruity and slightly acidic aroma does not overwhelm.
