Pheromones Reinvēnted 2023 Eau de Parfum

Pheromones are chemical substances produced by some glands and emitted in the external environment between members of the same species; we could compare them to chemical messengers, which regulate social relationships between animals.
Obviously, the first connection upon hearing their name is one of physical attraction: a smell as imperceptible as it is attractive.
Pheromones is a sensual, soft fragrance, thanks to the creaminess of saffron which, with the complicity of a very maturing floral part (I perceive the flowers as if they were at the end of their blooming) is enveloping, perfect for a person who with knowledge and experience spreads his or her sensuality, with a small sense of taste for the forbidden.
I also find it an elegant creation, which, worn especially in the evening, is at its best.

"Pheromones" - the name already says it for me: It wants something, it's not just playing!

Anyway, it's not playing with me. And that, even though I actually find it nice.

"Pheromones | Reinvēnted" is warm, rounded, and pleasantly spicy. Pleasing in a positive sense - but I get the feeling: "I already know this one." And indeed, the scent plays with many facets that trigger a buying reflex in me time and again: Pink pepper with rose, vanilla, and sandalwood... Great!

The sillage doesn't blow me away, which may also be due to the season.

Maybe I just met it at the wrong time. Maybe I also find the name too flashy.

Just the thought of being asked: "What fragrance are you wearing?" And then the honest answer "Pheromones" - somehow that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Actually, I find the play with skin chemistry quite appealing. I like the molecule concept, think "Not a perfume" is great, but there the approach is minimalist. With "Pheromones," it just doesn't work for me.
