First try of the house, a lovely, boozy, sweet, spicy mix
Starting sampling of the recently-launched Vivamor Parfums (unsurprisingly managed by the same personnel as Navitus Parfums) with Addiction Absolu, which opens with a superb blend of rum and dried fruits, drying down to a spicy, woody, resinous blend featuring nutmeg, sandalwood, amber, and vanilla. It is reminiscent of Navitus Parfums Raised Spirits, albeit without a curious nutty accord, but boozy and rich and yet smooth and wearable all the same. It has a wee bit of sharpness, given the spices and rum, but is still warm and inviting. This is an easy love for me right off the bat, and a great first impression of this new collection of eleven, and it is quite strong, with very little application needed of the larger glass sample to get a full impression. And the name seems fitting—this is an alluring, semi-sweet, semi-gourmand blend that I want to smell over and over.
Like Navitus, Vivamor’s pricing is reasonable modest, at $155 for 100ml in extrait concentration. I purchased my sample set directly from Vivamor when the collection was announced in December 2022 (and that discovery set is still available) but Perfumology now carries bottles from the collection.
