Super exciting scent, even though the mezcal would give my smell synapses a jolt all the way down to my stomach.

Hmm, I couldn't smell any tequila (or mezcal) here at all, nor any acidity. It's a shame it didn't excite you, I found it quite well done (even if it's not a candidate for purchase).

Why not try it with Mezcal, it must smell good...

It's not that intense at all. I was even surprised at how quickly it became close to the skin.

Hmm. I'm not a big fan of sour-woody scents. The pyramid doesn't put me off at all. However, your state.

Ah, Mezcal is something like tequila? Learned something new. I find the scent fascinating, even though I didn't particularly like the top note.

Mezcal is the general term, while tequila is a specific growing region. The type of agave used also plays a role, as does the production process. It's similar to the relationship between sparkling wine and champagne, or brandy and cognac.

If the number of fragrance notes were presented as instruments in an orchestra, it would be impossible for me to pick them out individually. And I must admit, my ears are better than my nose. So the scent would probably overwhelm me completely. That's why I prefer less complex compositions.

@Purpurherz Honestly? There are way more notes listed here than you can actually smell. This kind of marketing isn’t new.
I can't pick out the floral components, for example. And when that happens, the perfumer has done something wrong.
They mention Mezcal here. Real Mezcal smells completely different. Just another supposedly "cool" note listed.

It's not my favorite from the brand...
Because the pirates are whispering from the barrel 🙃... My favorite would have been the first Millefleurs, which I unfortunately missed. You can't get back to this exact version of Millefleurs. 🤷‍♀️

@Gandix It seems you didn't like it much either, judging by your review. Newer fragrances can be really good and complex, like those from Prin.

Yes, quite complex.

Prin, for example, is really complex in comparison.

Thank you so much, Yatagan!
I just can't warm up to the brand.
Surely the woody signature will excite many, but I can't shake the impression of a roaring campfire.
I can pick out the oud, but the floral components are harder to detect.
Let me list all the sour official notes, only to end up smelling a very sour citrus note:
Kaffir lime, grapefruit, Thai ginger, West Indian orange.
I could do the same with the woods.
I can't identify the rum, but I can sense the mezcal with a bit of imagination. People familiar with mezcal and tequila will likely just smile indulgently.
In summary, it's a smoky woody scent with spicy citrus undertones.
