Rouge Privé Novellista 2020

Received a sample of this Rouge Privé with my last perfume order.
The durability and quality is unbeatable, but unfortunately this is not my fragrance. But who likes Intense Café by Montale, is here in good hands. The similarity is amazing.
Since the Intense Café is so not at all mine, this one also can not score with me.
The coffee note is there, although coffee is not listed, he smells for my nose unfortunately boring and stale, so not very pleasant and quite synthetic. At the same time, I love the smell of coffee. Also, there's something in there that I don't like. I can't really name it, maybe like old caramel? The ingredients read wonderful, but something doesn't fit. Is it the benzoin that is ruining the scent (for me)? But what does benzoin smell like anyway? Or does the composition of the ingredients with each other (among themselves) not quite fit? Otherwise, it is slightly sweet and resinous.

By the way, the scent is linear and does not undergo any particular development on my skin. He remains the same from beginning to end. But since tastes are different, this could please some fragrance lovers.

Conclusion: not a candidate for purchase for me. Overall, quite sultry, for me not portable.
And: this fragrance you should definitely test before...a blind purchase is not recommended.
