When I was testing the perfumes from this new house it was immediately clear that the house has its own personal touch to each scent. None of them directly reminded me of any previous fragrance, even though the scent profiles are very common. It didn't feel like the style is immediately so "me" and the scents are heavy, so these are not for those who like light scents. Anyway I think you'll grow into these scents little by little. The more I have worn them the more I enjoy them.
Topaz Glamour opens up with a exotic mix of berries and fruits, which is not a sparkling, light, summery drink, but rather reminds me of wine gum sweets. The aroma is not totally artificial by any means nor totally realistic, but it is rich, thick, opaque, a little even sticky, but not cloying. It's intoxicating. Raspberry does not stand out in any way individually or any more than "berries" in general. Like the chocolate note in
Opal Secret the fruity note with berries lasts until the late dry down. The house has managed to create those notes in the way which is not so easy always and woody notes are supporting and sustaining them. If Chocolate was dipped in Amber in
Opal Secret here all those berries and fruits has been dipped in Amber but it's not that dark here, it's bright and golden, a little bit shiny. Somehow it feels like the rising sun, which brightens as the day goes on. The longevity of this scent is also good and it takes many hours for the scent to develop a caramel-like sweetness. In the dry down the scent start to loose it's uniqueness and the aroma is softer, pleasant, sweet, fruity and utterly beautiful mixed with cozy Musk.
Topaz Glamour is more suitable for wintertime since I think it can be heavy and stuffy in hot weather because It's very close to get a headache even now when it's cold. The problem is the first two hours and this is so potent that it's difficult to wear it less. The longevity is great. I don't see myself buying a full bottle of this one but I absolutely recommend you to try this one if you want some very unique and heavy fruits. The rate about this particular scent is not based on a quality but my personal taste and the value is based on the quality.
I'm still learning the concept of this new house and I will maybe write a longer review later. I wrote already a review of
Opal Secret and I will write about
Amethyst Soul next (ready now) and after that
Pearl Harmony and
Onyx Wonder .
Thank you for reading, I hope you liked my review.
