Cafenoir

In trying to increase the longevity, the fragrance has lost what makes it special - its zesty, airy lightness.

Earthy-spicy patchouli-amber scent, lightly powdery and fluffy due to iris, musk, aldehydes, but I miss Art&Matière finesse.

High-quality vanilla scent, noble and elegant, with a floral note that's too strong for me, and apparently I'm alone in finding it monstrously long-lasting.

Friendly, bright, transparent. Citrusy, with flowers, woods, and musk balanced in. Delicate, but not quite gold-worthy ;)

Sample 1: the most beautiful smoky vanilla richness
Sample 2: lovely vanilla accompanied by a strong grape sugar powder note
I'm confused.....
