The fragrance is actually quite simple and yet for me it is a masterpiece. A niche fragrance that is initially strongly reminiscent of a designer and therefore seems rather ordinary, just a fragrance that many people like and have smelled many times before. It is also similar to Black Opium by YSL. But there is something different about Hundred Silent Ways. There's something about it that makes it special. Something very subtle and yet I perceive it clearly. No other fragrance makes me feel so feminine. It brightens up any dark mood, puts me in a good mood and brings compliments. In short: it enchants me and the people around me time and time again.

About the fragrance: The tuberose is definitely the most dominant, accompanied by a very beautiful peach that is sweet but not artificial. Floral notes also resonate and of course this incredibly great vanilla. H/S are great, but it's an extrait and therefore no surprise. I can only recommend it. A good introduction to the niche world.

After Layton, this is my favorite men's fragrance from Parfum de Mary. But this one is more for special occasions, even though I could really smell it on my boyfriend all the time. The opening is spicy and slightly tart. The cinnamon definitely dominates here. Then it becomes sweeter and creamier. Nevertheless, the spice resonates the whole time and gives the fragrance something mysterious. Really mouth-watering. As a woman, I would actually wear it myself because I really can't get enough of it. H/S are, as we are used to from Parfum de Mary, above average. An absolute recommendation to all men and women who like spicy gourmands.

The opening is reminiscent of a spicy, juicy carrot cake with a hint of sweetness. But instead of hazelnuts, it was baked with pistachios. These become more and more apparent as the fragrance progresses, together with a light herbaceous note reminiscent of Angélique Noire, but without the vanilla. A really beautiful, creamy, not too sweet pistachio fragrance that you can wear very well in everyday life. For me, it's also much more authentic than Yum
Pistachio Gelato by Kayali, which is also very nice, but doesn't live up to its name because it only smells of pistachio for a very short time.

To be honest, I find it very difficult to write a review of this fragrance, as I can understand both those who love it and those who were immediately hooked. Personally, I belong to the second group, but the strange thing is, I can't even say exactly why I like this fragrance so much. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be: extraordinary. That sums it up best. And I simply find this extraordinary quality incredibly beautiful. But not everyone will feel the same way, so please do NOT buy it blindly. You should definitely test this fragrance beforehand, otherwise you will end up with a nasty and, above all, expensive surprise. H/S are almost too much of a good thing. The price is therefore justified, as the fragrance is almost impossible to remove. You can still smell it even after washing. If you store it properly and use it sparingly (and you definitely should, otherwise it will kill you), you will have it for a very, very long time.

I honestly can't understand why this fragrance only has a rating of 7.5. This fragrance has the most authentic honey note I have ever smelled in a perfume. Often you only smell a synthetic, sweet note where you think of everything but honey. Here, it's as if I'm sniffing a jar of honey, and a very expensive and fine honey at that. Simply beautiful and addictive. In the drydown, the tobacco and spice come out more and more. Oud also resonates the whole time, but not too strongly. S/H are top and you get compliments non-stop. Especially from men. I think it's a fragrance that suits men and women equally well, even if it becomes a little masculine as it progresses. If it were up to me, I could also wear it in everyday life, but I think it's more suitable for special occasions.
