Royal flush or rather royal slush?
I have had this perfume for a good two months and have also given it some time to develop if necessary.
The short version of my impression of the fragrance:
Very sweet, simultaneously sour and tart, accompanied by vetiver in the drydown.
To put it less nicely: a sweet mango slush ice, where you can sense something tart and sour, but can't really identify the fruit responsible for it.
I have mango and rhubarb in the opening. The rhubarb is typically tart and sour, but also sweet. Then all of a sudden it's as if the scent has died down and disappeared completely. Maybe you're supposed to smell coffee and cardamom here, I don't know. However, it's as if the fragrance takes a break here on my skin, as if any fragrance notes are completely missing. Coffee and cardamom are not present or perceptible to me at any time.
Then the rhubarb returns very delicately, mixing with the mango again as it progresses. It becomes sweeter and sweeter and sweeter. For me, the mango is not even a super ripe, juicy, soft mango, but rather a slightly sour one. Nevertheless, it is extremely sweet. Vetiver joins in quite early in the background. And then it stays the same for a relatively long time.
I think the fragrance's approach is good and it's not as if it's completely flat. And your perception is of course different and perhaps the fragrance will develop quite differently on your skin, no question.
For me, it just becomes too sweet over time. It's like having slush ice stuck to my skin.
I would have liked coffee and cardamom, because that makes it even more interesting.
I was hoping the vetiver would take the sweetness out a bit and make it less sticky.
I had hoped that the fruity notes would not become an indefinable mishmash (maybe just for my nose, you may be able to identify everything individually).
A little more freshness and lightness to balance out the sweetness would have been nice too; perhaps that should be the job of the ginger.
I think the fragrance is good, even if it doesn't sound like it. But at some point it is too sweet for me and seems too sticky, which I think is a real shame.
I can't say whether and to what extent the perfume is similar to Narcos'is, because I don't know this perfume.
