Razvanyke

So, the top notes of this scent are quite daring, vodka and champagne .. is this going to smell like you went to a party and got a bit too friendly with the bottles? - NO

It is such a beautiful and addictive scent, with a strong base of leather and vanilla, to which the talented Marc- Antoine added a lot of great notes to support the two daring ones.

Of course, perfumery is subjective and when you deal with so many naturals, this smell will be different on 10 people .. but on me, smells awesome and reminds me very much of Tobacco Oud Intense from TF.

I am very glad that not many people know about the Parfums d´Empire .. because it makes it truly niche and unique, and even with the recent 10€ price increase, for what they offer this gorgeous spicy leathery scent is such a good buy !

Okey, it´s very subjective and this regards only my preference but even if tuberose is such an expensive and luxurious flower, it just does not click with me.

The same is with Carnal Flower from FM, even if it´s done to perfection by Master Ropion, I can´t smell it.

Honor 43 is of course not just that, it has a complexity of notes which allows it to be more than just "another tuberose" scent. But still, it is hard to grasp if you are .. under 30, I would say.

It´s like spraying Diaghilev from ROJA on an 18 years old man, it simply does not add up.

The performance is great and the presentation too, but for what you get, the retail price is a massive cash grab.

Thanks for watching my video : )!

I am a big fan of tobacco and I only heard good things about it so I decided to get a sample and see what all the buzz is about.


This is a Smoky-Spicy fragrance, created by Cécile Zarokian which also made Ani from Nishane which I hate.

The scent has notes like Aniseed, Cardamom, Elemi resin and Liquorice and is a very spicy and smoky scent, complex and thick like Cecile Zarokian liks to create.
- It is a first smell for me, I never tried it before and will avoid it like the plague in the future.
- Robes08 has a very nice review about this scent and if you want to see a more detailed video about it, I will add the link in my video.

Reminds me of?
By the Fireplace from Replica, but very distant cousin.

Longevity / Silage
Given the scent DNA, it lasted over 12 hours on my skin after using the original sample.

Versatility: For me is 0, if you do not hate Liquorice then all the time, because it has a friendly scent profile, even if spicy.

Seasons: It will shine in the colder months.

Score: 8 / 10 – If you love complex scents, this is for you. The scent DNA is not unique, but it´s done well and lasts very long.

So, it is no secret that some of the famous Terenzi creations smell like established scents from the Market .. I am looking at you Kirké and Bürdel !

So, the V Canto line was not under my radar at all, and the bottles are not easy to find or test, therefore a blind buy for not such a good rated line is not an option.

I got some nice samples for Giambellino, Guercino and Misiarte and after I tried this highly rated Naxos wannabe, I had to write a review ... like a first impression, actually.

It does smell similar to Naxos, much more floral and less honey like .. the scent is an absolute joy to wear and I would consider buying a bottle of this, as the scent profile is very nice and airy.

But where it hits me hard is the price: 315€ at the time of writing this review !

I mean, come on Cereria Terenzi .. you copy a scent which was copied originally from Pure Havane from Mugler.
Only God knows why L´Oreal decided to kill the Mugler brand and discontinue everything from there .. but that played well in the end for Xerjoff. I know that Mazzolari has a copy paste scent for Naxos and now V Canto too?

I see no point in this release, as we already have Naxos at 245€ for the 100ml still, who is this for .. maybe V Canto knows something I don´t.

A versus with Naxos will follow soon.

What do you think?

I found out about the new releases from OmanLuxury since a while but I only got the chance now to try a sample and what a scent this is, I am very excited to tell you more about it.

FRAGRANCE FAMILY:
Oriental-Floral from perfumer Muatasim Al Hinai (Managing Director OM)
It is very exquisite smell, oriental to it´s core

- Merchant fleets carrying precious goods from Oman to the land of Pharaohs, the Sumerians, the Roman empire, the Kingdom Of Sheba and other civilizations.
- Voyage carries within, a vintage essence of exotic spices and incense that once were traded with crates of gold. Voyage is a masculine smoky and mature fragrance that will garner compliments.
Reminds me of ? Amouage – Myths Man, but smoother and smokier.
Longevity / Silage: As much as such a thick, lovely scent can project. The longevity is stellar, and you will surely be noticed wearing this.

Versatility: You can use this scent all the times, everywhere.
Seasons: All seasons, but will shine in the cold. Dressed up.
Score: 10 / 10 – If you love smoky scents, this is for you. I am in danger of ordering a bottle right away, what a scent, guys!
