Tested the fragrance in a perfumery, found it good, but is it good enough to purchase the bottle with a capacity of 50ml for a price of 200-250€?
About the bottle: The tactile feel is present. It fits quite well in the hand. The spray nozzle does its job adequately well.
About the fragrance: After spraying, there is a distinct berry note, red, fruity, juicy, authentic. This remains until the dry down. Quite quickly, the alcoholic note in the form of rum comes in, along with a slightly woody note from benzoin & for me, minimally enriched with oud. Following that, a blend of spices and sweet vanilla emerges. This also stays until the end.
Longevity for me is about 8-11 hours. Sillage in the first 4 hours is about an arm's length, then increasingly reduced.
Conclusion: I like the fragrance quite a bit after wearing it multiple times, but it doesn't excite me enough. So far, I have always left the bottle in the perfumery.
Ging mir ganz genauso! Ich musste ihn unbedingt haben, aber nicht für d a s Geld. Schade! Hätte ihn echt gern im Laden gekauft. Aber manche übertreibens einfach. Mit dem Preis.
Schön, dass du auf die Haptik des Flakons eingehst. Einige meinen den Flakon (eines noch nicht erhältlichen Parfums) nur anhand des Fotos bewerten zu können. Das Handling wird dabei komplett ignoriert.
