"Less sweet" would probably be my preference too.

If sweet is okay for you, you might like it!

With cocoa and also caramel, especially in the base, I might have some issues.
Or maybe not...🤔

I like it here, but overall it's borderline sweet for me.

Generic sweet, maltol, saffron... Thanks for this description. Now I know it's not for me.

Translated · Show original

ElAttarine 1 year ago

Probably not, although it's not really bad. I think I would have liked it better if it were less sweet.

Thanks for the accurate summary.
Now I know that the hype won't get to me.

Translated · Show original

ElAttarine 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure about that. It's not bad (Duchaufour), but it's just a bit too sweet and mainstream for my taste.

If it were less sweet, I could get excited about it. As it is, it feels a bit too much like current mainstream to me.

Cistus incense... that sounds lovely!
I just struggle with the sweetness too.

Then we agree on this...

Sounds quite appealing to you as well. Still, I'm a bit unsure about the overall package of the scent. It really needs to be tested.

Yes - "quite appealing" sums it up well.

Yes, the sweetness only comes out over time, but during winter it's not a big issue x)

Yes, the saffron is present, and the sweetness... Ginger and clary sage are also the best for me here.

A bit generic-sweet and rather loud for a scent by Duchaufour. I also suspect Ethylmaltol here, in addition to Davana and Rum. At first, there's nice Muscat sage and a bit of fresh ginger. Especially lovely are the incense, saffron, and labdanum; I really like that, though it becomes drier and more bitter with a bit of cocoa powder. The beaver castoreum remains very subtle to absent. If it were a little less sweet, it would be a wishlist candidate.
Thanks to @KoniMakeroni for the sample!
