Oud... that was my first thought. An old wooden barrel in the cellar. Wood, wood, wood, nothing but wood.

After 2 minutes, a hint of cinnamon breaks through. Vanilla can also be sensed. I feel like Pinocchio with a wooden leg in a musty cellar room, left alone, forgotten. It’s dark. In the corner, I sense something furry. It breathes. The belly rises slightly and gently sinks back down. A monstrous beast seems to be lurking there in half-sleep. Just stay quiet, so it doesn’t wake up. And besides, if the black beast should rear up in front of me, I have my wooden leg to strike back. I perceive this scent as dark, woody, and animalistic.

The fragrance strongly reminds me of Mancera Vanille Oud, what a pity. Where is the vanilla that is supposed to smell similar? Where is the almond? Is the scent supposed to be sweet?

Well, it’s too masculine for me, too woody, and moreover, it’s not soft, not fluffy, and... sorry... not vanilla at all. It soon smells like warm woody men’s shower gel. It could be nice for a man, but not for me.

Unfortunately bought in a moment of excitement after a short test... it is simply piercing and pinches the nose.

Lotus lotus lotus. I didn't smell anything else. I had perceived it in the store as much creamier, wonderfully soft, but at home I was ruthlessly overwhelmed by great disappointment. It stings and scratches and almost hurts, it is so rough. A brute. What did I perceive in the store? I only tried this fragrance. I don't know. I'm wearing it now, but it's just hard to endure when you are constantly pinched and bitten. It is also so artificially sour... When I close my eyes, I see a pickled cucumber wrapped in a spiky fur, trying to wildly jump up and down and bore into my nose... That was pure waste of money. I'm super angry at myself.

I was blinded by the beautiful color of the bottle!

THE MADNESS!!!! I am very picky when it comes to scents and often I don't express myself positively about fragrances. No scent (except for very few) manages to convince me. This one has done it... I am completely astonished.

- It lasts a long time. It doesn't project too much, but I can smell this fluffy cloud all day long.
- It smells incredibly soft, so delicate, so fluffy, so cuddly like a pink cotton ball, simply soooo wonderfully soft and yet strong enough.
- It gives me neither headaches nor feelings of nausea, even after wearing it for a long time.
- So far, I haven't grown tired of it. It just fits.
- It is not sweet, not lemony, not vanillla kitschy, not synthetically screeching, not fruity, not creamy, no gourmand, not woody, ... I can't find the words and can't categorize it directly anywhere. It smells like something I had in my mind since childhood and I have been searching for this olfactory experience for years. I never thought I would find this feeling in this bottle. Yes, you can definitely smell sandalwood, but it is not as woody or overly sugary as in other fragrances - I do love sugar, vanilla, and everything gourmand, I like heavy and sticky sweetness, but I just want to say that this one comes across as so innocent, attractive, and carefree.

I can't explicitly identify vanilla or coconut. It just smells nice. Normally, I can recognize the different notes and describe the progression, but this fragrance is simply a harmonious unity of pink unicorn fluff with whipped cream and glitter dust swirling in the air!!!! I feel so comfortable and secure with it. It is simply heavenly!!!!!

The pineapple note is initially present, but it quickly fades away. I perceive the coconut note for about an hour, then the summery, beautiful part is gone. This part is the best; the coconut is sweet, non-fruity, finally without lemon, beautifully vanilla. Boom... then it happens. The patchouli comes. And it stays. I’m sure that someone who doesn’t find patchouli as repulsive as I do would perceive the scent as very pleasant. Fantasm is very subtle in my nose, the sillage is not great. It is close to the body. I wore it on a hot day and that was generally okay, even though I can’t stand patchouli. After 2 hours, I smell the same as after 1 week of Wish EDT by Chopard (plus an extra dose of patchouli) with a bit of Legend vibes (Paco Rabanne). So, yeah, I don’t know. I’m not blown away. A fragrance should (for me, who else...) either smell fine, smell strong, or smell interesting. Fantasm does not meet my expectations for a truly successful perfume, but wearing it occasionally is certainly doable. It’s not bad. I don’t smell anything that evokes vacation associations for me. It’s a mild patchouli essence, bearably dosed. Conclusion: fine. Not entirely my taste, but fine, rounded, the scent makes sense.

Unfortunately, I smell very little coconut and sadly no Raffaelo at all. I was expecting a non-sticky, but full, sweet, creamy coconut after all the reviews. It's a shame that I can't smell what you smell, because it sounds wonderful... oh... why can't I smell that?!

First spray: shower gel. Huh?

After wearing it for a while: I smell incense and zesty jasmine as the most prominent notes. The scent is warm and creamy in the first few minutes, with the lactonic aspect fading quite soon, without completely disappearing. I can only faintly smell coconut with a lot of goodwill. Sweet, gourmand milk is hardly detectable as time goes on, but I do smell sour, citrusy milk with a bitter undertone. This doesn't sound particularly enticing when I put it that way, but this mixture is still quite nice. There is a milky, warm undertone that radiates floral and citrus notes. Unfortunately, the incense dominates in the first hour, whether on the skin or on clothes. For me, it ruins everything. Then, fortunately, it slowly recedes on fabric at least. The scent is very similar to soleil blanc, but warmer, creamier, and smokier. Unfortunately, it doesn't become really creamy and cozy, as there is too much jasmine and freshness in play. Well, I had imagined the scent to be like a radiant and full-bodied Raffaelo, and I simply smell none of that. *snif* It is still nice, still interesting, but for me, unfortunately, not a scent that makes me roll my eyes. The bitter shower gel vibe keeps coming through. Ugh. It just doesn't want to fully bloom, but it's too good not to spray. Depending on the fabric I spray it on, it smells a little different; sometimes I get a feeling of playdough, sometimes it’s a white flower, and sometimes it’s sweet-sour-creamy.

I use it in warmer temperatures because of the citrusy jasmine notes and I like it despite the reserved and mixed review. Overall, I would give it an 8/10, as it is very convincing in terms of quality. The notes are all rounded, soft, and well intertwined.

The scent is really very long-lasting and radiates close to the body all day. It is airy, bright, and not gourmand or overwhelming. What's exceptionally great about the scent is that I don't get tired of it. This happens rarely. I haven't received any compliments so far; someone just said it smells "very special"... a nice way to say it doesn't smell good. My children all think it doesn't smell nice either. They don't say it stinks, but nice is something else. I still like to use it because I want to smell good for myself, and as I said, it doesn't bother anyone since it stays close to the body. Despite the disappointment described, I find it successful and I'm glad to have discovered it.
