Desert Suave - Eau Imaginaire Liquides Imaginaires 2018

First of all, I have to say that this is my second fragrance from the brand. I started with Liquide Gold, which has received a lot of hype in recent months. That's not what this is about. But when I buy a second fragrance from a brand, that speaks for itself.

In my opinion, Desert Suave comes off far too badly in the reviews. Neither a headache nor a total overload of ingredients.
What you need to have for the fragrance, however, is a preference for sweet scents (not necessarily gourmands)

The fragrance starts off spicy (cradamon), tangy and already sweet (definitely date) in the top note. I was overwhelmed the first time I smelled it. The sweetness pervades the whole perfume. It's not sticky sweet, I would say, but high-quality sweet, which is possibly due to the rose note and the beautiful, strongly present orange blossom note. I also smell cinnamon, but also a tart, green note in the background. For me, the fragrance is not particularly varied - it doesn't have to be. This perfume is a must-try for lovers of oriental fragrances. I also find it challenging in parts, as the mixture of components makes it smell "old". Not old, but smoky and mature, like a whiskey.

The sillage is a real bomb with this fragrance. Comparable to fragrances that are much! expensive in the nishe range. The same applies to the durability. It can be smelled on the skin and on clothing for a very, very long time.

I have tried it in everyday life but also on occasions in the evening. What can I say... It's too opulent for everyday wear (especially in the warmer months, even in spring). However, it shines on very cold days and in the evening (even on a warm summer evening). This fragrance simply makes you smell serious and chic. I use it for festive occasions and going out as well as for important appointments.

Compliments: many... Negative feedback: zero.

So try it out when you get the chance. It's different from what you read here in many places.
