I'm a fan of ADP for many reasons but get very disappointed by their performance when it comes to fragrances. So when they started making EDP rather than Cologne I was very excited.
Particularly a combo of Colonia mixed with Leather. Leather fragrances are my passion.
Now you are not going to like this review but I have to be honest. I am testing the original release from 2019, which has a different bottle from the one showing above.
The opening reminds me of fragrances like Versace Dreamer. Although the notes are completely different it smells of a posh gents toilet.
The leather is very well done and is on a par with Clive Christian - C or Tuscan Leather but the floral background smells very white floral but I see none listed in the notes. I do not like a urine smelling perfume.
I was really expecting colonia mixed with a smooth leather and got half of that. It also disappears off my skin in 3 hours which makes me wonder what EDP concentration is this?. I was excited to try this and will try again but so far a bit of a disappointment.

This is a beautiful fragrance. I'm a big fan of Roja Dove but have issues with pricing and Longevity of many of his fragrances.
I don't think Mr Dove smelt Aventus and decided oh I can make that better and more potent. This is his unique creation and boy is it good.
Finally a fresh citrus scent that lasts. But it's so much more and quite complex. It's very smooth but has good projection. I find I'm smelling myself constantly and have a very luxurious cloud around my body.
It's woody and slightly dusty with very amazing natural citrus notes. I'm early on into smelling this fragrance but it does change over the 2 hours I have been wearing it.
It's a sexy, warm weather fragrance which is perfect summers night out on a Mediterranean island. So good.

Another hyped fragrance that I needed to try. Having lived in Sweden, I used to wear a lot of Byredo Fragrances.
This is yet again very similar to other fresh Fragrances I have in my collection.
It is very sweet to me but has a deep floral base. It is unisex but is more feminine leaning.
I love the smell it is very sexy but as for performance it's very weak. A sexy skin scent that I would rather wear during winter to remind me of summer. This disappears very quickly in warmer climates.

I have 34 ATH fragrances in my collection and this is my new favourite.
This has a hint of PDM DNA in my opinion. Another house I really enjoy. As with all ATH fragrances this lasts forever and is of high quality ingredients.
I get very beautiful oud and rose combo that projects beautifully from my body. There is no ATH down and dirty accords in this one.
A very beautiful fragrance that I have no qualms wearing all year round.

I don't believe in the myth that light citrus scents are best for warmer weather. I am inclined to wear stronger, more powerful scents because they last better as your skin heats up.
It's very warm today and finally I get to test this very hyped fragrance.
It's very natural with an authentic bergamot smell. The woody base is very subtle but pleasant. My issue is that it doesn't last long at all plus it has no projection whatsoever.
I have much better bergamot based fragrances in my collection that both last and project. It's a shame, and perhaps the current formulations are weaker than the past. A nice scent but due to the amount you need to apply and often, it's not worth the expense.
