THIS right here is beautiful. It's just perfect. I can't say this is a benchmark for honey fragrances, because other honey fragrances like Back to Black, Aphrodisiac Perfume have a very sticky, slightly pissy honey, where this comes off as Manuka honey. It smells like the expensive honey you buy from an artisanal beekeeper. Yes, this one is slightly pissy as well, but it also smells ambery if you try to process the smell carefully.

I really wish I could get tobacco from this, but I just can't. Instead, in the late dry-down, this has similarities to Kenzo Jungle , simply because of the amount of spices in here, especially the clove.

This is exclusively a winter-time fragrance. This smells like winter to me. I tried listening to influencers pushing this idea onto other fragrances, like Spicebomb Extreme smelling like Christmas, or Khamrah, which is just bleh. But this one right here clicked with me. Fun fact, this is the first fragrance to my knowledge that made me cry, because it reminded me so much of my early childhood days, where I spent New Years with my parents at the table. This captures that moment very vividly. But like with every fragrance, your mileage may vary.

I drank through a 5ml decant of this, despite people telling me "This is nuclear! it's a one sprayer! 5ml is gonna last you a long time!" it didnt. I ordered another 10ml and its on the way. I might even consider a full bottle.

I highly recommend this fragrance to people which are looking to try a new type of sweet fragrance. In a world full of Stronger With Yous, Le Male Elixirs and Kayalis, this stands out in the best way possible.

This is very potent. Even from one spray, this has a good 3 feet of projection during the first 2 hours. I must say, I was never a fan of rose fragrances. I always interpreted them to be "wet-wipe smelling", and while they were pleasant, they were very boring.

This, on the other hand, is a different story. The rose here is very jammy. It's very dark, and the raspberry gives it a tart type of sweetness, that I cant quite describe. And the rose doesn't fade away within the first hours too: if this fragrance lasts around 10 hours on my skin, the rose is still felt at around ~8 hours. So the rose here isn't a gimmick, its actually the star of the show.

I must say, when I tried Rose Amira Eau de Parfum , I found it weird how I thought to myself, "Wow I could pull this off so easily!" . And yes, both of these fragrances are pretty similar in some ways to each other, Rose Amira being slightly smoother though. But this fragrance is unisex but heavily feminine leaning.

I have a 5ml decant of this, and I will use it for occasions with my closest friends, with whom I can share the softer part of me without the fear of being judged for "wearing womens' perfume"

This is a must-try rose fragrance for ALL rose lovers.

"Cat's piss", "sexy armpit", "old lady's wardrobe", "dried piss with BO"; so which one is it?
I tried imagining what this fragrance smells like. I thought it would be one of those fragrances that you can't describe into words and you have to try it. I was wrong.

This is essentially Obsession for Men Eau de Toilette / Obsession Eau de Parfum but softer. That's it. It's ambery, it's spicy, it's slightly animalic, it's old-fashioned, and it's dated.

Another comparison I discovered 2 hours into the fragrance, is its similarity to Absolute Aphrodisiac , and the way its "animalic", where it's not animalic as in Unutamam or something. It's the type of animalic thats not stinky, but borderline fetish-y, or funky in a way that keeps you wanting to smell more of it.

Not blind buy safe at all. I have a 5ml decant of it, which i will never end up using. Instead of this, I would rather look at Absolute Aphrodisiac, its a more modern take on this type of scent profile.

Where do I even start ! This is beautiful. This is one of the most beautiful, refined, classy scents I have ever smelled in my LIFE. Like any other Le Gemme release, notes don't show the depth of the fragrances. But to keep it simple: this is Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum , but made 10x more elegant. I can go as far as calling Gyan a "winter freshie", thanks to its own type of freshness, which suits a well-dressed gentleman on a formal occasion during the colder season. The moment this smell hits the cold air, it turns magnetic. You keep wanting to smell more of it. The sweet, smoky, incense-y jasmine in the scent trail, along with the earthy-clean patchouli. Its so weird to describe ! Because this doesn't make sense. We don't deserve such a fragrance. This is so well done, its perfect. You can't quite put your finger on what you're smelling.

Easily one of the best fragrances in my collection, and out of everything that I've smelled so far during this journey.

disgusting. wow. i actually wanted to scrub this off so badly. and no, it doesnt smell like burnt tires. its sickeningly sweet in the worst way possible. sweet? yes. creamy? yes. but i dont think a fragrance has ever given me SUCH a desire to scrub it off. i would rather wear some vintage pissy jasmine fragrance than this. another day, another pdm L.
