Warm spicy tonka
Sweet, spicy, wine, nutty, bright, with a slight minty topping.
Opening is pretty strong blast of all of the above, and then it turns into a creamy tonka/sandalwood/hookah scent. I absolutely adore it, but longevity is around 4-5 hours on my skin. I am well aware that my skin is sucking perfumes, and it’s definitely lasting longer on clothes, but its definitely not one of the strongest projectors from the brand
Un plaisir discret, mais terriblement attachant!
Resinous lavender spark
This one from the collection starts as a very herbal, bright, peppery, spicy lavender that turns into a base of spicy addictive vanilla-mossy almost like a crème brúlêe that is not overly sweet. Very easy to wear, very alluring and bright. I can imagine it being the best seller frok the brand as it's so appealing, and unisex in my opinion.
In terms of longevity, the two sprays immediately filled my living room with that herbal spicy aura, and it lingers for a long while, and on skin it lasted about 6 hours for me. I adore it and see myself wearing it for any activity or setting
Une élégance évidente, sans effort!
Vanilla, Frankincense, Tobacco
Dried vanilla with something that binds the vanilla and woods so magically. Bitter, dense, oak like. Not the usual over sweet vanillin gourmand type. It feels dry, grounded, and quietly confident on skin, with a subtle resinous depth that keeps it interesting over time.
The sample is running out and I am getting anxious. It’s a full bottle worthy imo.
Pas sucrée, merci.
Never in my imagination…
Never in my imagination I thought I would fall in love with a Fragrance that has both coffee and tea.
The reality here, I am getting a beautiful mix of spices, coffee, tea, rose, saffron and rum, and what seems to be some honey in the background.
He takes a few seconds to settle and when it does everything feel surprisingly smooth and well blended. The spices give warm, the coffee and tea stay soft and dry and the rose appears gently more natural than sweet. There is a resinous, slightly smoky filling in the background that keeps it serious and calm.
Elegant, comforting and much more addictive than I expected. This might be my new favorite from the house.
Étrangement addictif, malgré toutes mes certitudes!
Full-on iris
Here the opening is this peppery Iris that is buttery, slightly chocolatey, with patchouli and vetyver. It smells modern, velvety, totally unisex. It doesn't go into the dior homme intense territory, definitely not. This is more creamy, and dusty. As the fragrance evolves i get more of that cacao powder. Iris perfume that is balanced and covered by almost gourmand notes. I like it, but it's not my favorite from the house. It does fit the collection, as it's dark in a way, but I wouldn't imagine finding an iris scent inside the brand. It's good, it's a like for me, but not a love. Still need to give it proper wears, and i already have fragrances on my skin, so there's that. Overall i like it and appreciate it, but it's not as exciting as the rest.
Un iris que je respecte plus que j’aime.
