Hmm, interesting. Does the scent then completely turn sweet, or does the lavender still linger all the way to the base? I’m not sure how I feel about that if the herb just disappears completely.
Okay. Clear case. I'm turning away from this. I actually find the modernization idea quite charming. I had hoped that the herbal and gourmand notes would be interestingly intertwined. Thanks for your enlightening exploration.
In my experience, fragrances with "sex" or "sexy" in the name often end up being a letdown, as the expectations are usually more vibrant than the actual potential of the scent.
With fougères, I rarely have issues with sweetness, but I really struggle with creaminess. There's hardly anything worse than when the beautifully fresh lavender opening gets smothered and powdered by the tonka.
Starts off nicely, but ends in modern mediocrity... luckily, we all have different interpretations of "sexy." Creamy & sweet are more like deal-breakers for me...
Citrusy bergamot, good opening, but quickly a sweet creaminess emerges behind it. It actually has a buttery quality reminiscent of sandalwood, but it could also be a mix of vanillin and musk. The gourmand sweetness isn't as pronounced as I initially feared.
Later, ambroxan (and other synthetic woody notes) come through quite distinctly, adding a spicy-woody element alongside the sweet creaminess.
For me, it’s not particularly sexy on a man, as I don’t associate sweet and creamy scents with men. However, this one might appeal more to women than the really old-school, harsh fougères, which usually annoy young women with their sharp, aftershave-like notes. I find it not fresh enough in the base due to the sweet notes, but that was also the goal of the fragrance-to modernize it. Well, to each their own.

Sweet and man - not for me. I can hardly stand sweet scents as it is... and then on a man... just not attractive to me. Creamy, by the way, isn't appealing either... 😜
Well, anyone who sticks a superlative in the name has to live up to it. Others have already failed with smaller claims.
