Spicy floral amber; a powdery sweet benzoin tinged with rose and creamy white florals. The warm amber base is lightly counterbalanced by the fresh citrus and heavy pink pepper, which lend a gentle effervescent pop to the scent profile. While the rose is the heart of this fragrance, it's a rather modest and airy one. Nuclear projection for the first couple hours fading over 5-6hr, longevity 10-12hr.

Beautiful, gorgeous, cozy spiced rose. The heavy pink pepper and resins give off an almost clove or carnation-like presence, somewhat akin to a rosy version of Xerjoff 1888?

A opening burst of citruses steeped in rum, set atop an airy rose heart plus an amberwood base that get progressively stronger as it dries down. The citrus has a sugared, almost candied, sweetness to it or perhaps a light jasmine overlaid that give it added pop. Moderately strong projection fades over 2-3hr, longevity 10-12hr.

Happyland's take on a scent profile reminiscent of Xerjoff Uden or Roja Burlington 1819. Pretty good but maybe not as unique as its sibling release, Haymaker.

Creamy caramel, honeyed amber, and a light smokiness. A delicious warm gourmand. The blueberry smells like wine, imparting a strange but intriguing boozy if not medicinal fruitiness. Moderately strong projection fades over 3-4hr, longevity 10-12hr.

Sort of a Signature and Amberland tweener, if you compare it to other Happyland fragrances, with the warm gooey honey and blueberry plus the somewhat medicinal overtones.

Very ripe, slightly boozy even, muddled plums covering a soft leather and ambery notes. Smooth, sweet fruity leather. Linear drydown, so a simple scent to describe. More reminiscent of Plum in Cognac or Widian London than Tuscan Leather. Moderate projection for 2-3hr before settling into a soft scent bubble, longevity 10-12hr.

It's a pleasant enough scent, but I find it falls a little flat compared to its more complex and interesting contemporaries.

Floral patchouli, with a faint undertone of stank, plus a sugary sweet fruity top. A sharp herbal lavender makes for a piercing opening. The banana-ey ylang-ylang forms the nucleus of this scent, orbited by dark woody patchouli and oud with undertones of smoky myrrh. Moderate projection for 2-3hr settles into an all-day soft scent bubble, longevity 10-12hr.

The lack of honey plus additions of patchouli + oud bring a dark woody balance to the now less overwhelming sweetness, compared to Paisley Dreams, but the harsh synthetic opening and dominant ylang-ylang + myrrh still explicitly link them.
