A Soft Floral Vanilla
Immediately it’s a soft, floral vanilla. Smells fabulous off the bat. Definitely getting the Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, as well as a salt water note. The creamy vanilla is strong, but it’s not overpowering the florals.
About an hour in, it has faded into a soft vanilla with what I’m smelling is a sandalwood note.
Two hours in and I’m just getting a hint of scent when I put my nose in my skin. So the longevity isn’t great, but it had decent projection at the beginning. Definitely not a beast mode fragrance, but people in your immediate vicinity would smell it.
Honestly, this could be a year round daily wear fragrance. However, it’d really shine as a spring/summer specific floral-vanilla.

Musky & Boozy Honey
Right out the bat I definitely get the honey and a sort of malted hay note (may be the bran absolute). The projection isn’t wild, but I can smell it about 6 in from my nose. As it dries down, I’m definitely getting the rum and sandalwood as the honey note starts to take a back seat. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still a sweetness to it, but I’m not sure that the honey really stands out.
Well actually, a few hours later and what remains is a musky honey scent. I’m actually quite impressed with how much this fragrance has evolved.
I am definitely interested in having a honey perfume in my collection and this would make a very interesting fragrance. But I’m not sure if I want something more linear that is more honey forward…

Supe Cedarwood
Sprayed at 5:20
At 10:30 I could still get a hint of the fragrance.
Strong woody amber at first spray. Reasonable projection (from the standpoint of being able to smell the fragrance on myself). I’m not really getting the vanilla orchid, but I definitely get the cedarwood.
While I do love an amber note, I think I prefer it blended with creamier, more gourmand notes. So while this perfume performed relatively well and is a complex woody amber, I’m not sure it’s really for me.

No projection on me :(
Initial strong alcohol bite. But quickly dries down to a milky, lactonic scent. Almost no projection though. My nose has to be literally in my skin to smell anything. In less than 10 minutes, I can barely smell anything. From what I can smell, I’m not getting much vanilla… mostly just milk (steamed milk in particular). Not getting any of the floral or woody notes. I guess it just doesn’t work with my skin chemistry.
Creamy Citrus
Sprayed at 8:20
At first spray I’m definitely getting the mandarin and I think the jasmine with a smooth cedarwood undertone (though that might be the cardamom slipping in). I really like this! It’s like a sweet citrus floral that is super agreeable.
Side note: I love the Dossier magnetic caps and the atomizer sprays perfectly. Excellent design.
By 10:30 it’s faded a lot, but I can definitely still smell it. Now it mostly just smells like a really creamy mandarin orange. I’m not getting much cedarwood anymore which is interesting since it’s usually a base note that lingers. I also never got any amber. But regardless, this is really lovely. I’d love to test the original (Thierry Mugler's Alien) at some point.
