I ordered this bottle some time ago from Notino as an additional purchase.
At that time, I was on a trip to test as much as possible.
Trying out, discovering at all costs, regardless of whether I liked it afterwards or not.
Collecting, hoarding, collecting ....more,
More, more, even more!

This bottle was on sale for €80 for 100ml.
It generally costs around €150, unless there is a discount.

About the bottle:
The feel/grip with a smooth coating is definitely present.
It fits quite well in my large hand.
Fairly heavy, but not too heavy.
There are definitely better sprayers, but also truly worse ones.
The color scheme is quite nice.
Personally, I find the shape and overall rather unattractive.
But that's a matter of personal taste.
It plays only a minor role in the assessment.

About the scent:
Initially, there is a certain freshness, which is quickly accompanied by a certain spiciness.
Subsequently, fruity notes and a few flowers also join in.

At first, I wore the scent more often to familiarize myself with various fragrance components.
I always thought it wasn't that great.
Now, it is a good average for me.

I found the longevity and sillage to be significantly worse back then than they are today.
--Longevity: about 6-9h
--Sillage: 3-4h clearly present, with generous application.

Conclusion:
This scent is still exclusively available at Not..o or at a bazaar.
I wouldn't buy it again.
If I hadn't used it up by now, I would gift it.

PS: The assessment of scent, longevity, sillage, and bottle has been adjusted to the current state.

I really like woody scents, yes, really a lot.
I received this as a gift.
I have never been able to connect with the brand Issey Miyake, not even a little.
New, this costs between €70-110 for a 100ml bottle.

About the bottle:
The texture/grip is superficially smooth, ergonomically shaped.
Thus, it offers good handling.
With a very nice color gradient.
The spray head is located in the upper middle area.
Completely sufficient, better than many other brands.

About the scent:
Immediately after spraying, a fresh aquatic scent with a woody touch.
Then quickly fruity synthetic, with a spicy finish.

Longevity is about 4-6 hours, placing it in the lower range.
Sillage is about 1-3 hours, which is also in the lower range.

Conclusion:
I received this fragrance as a gift, tested it privately for a short time.
Then ultimately used it as a work scent and finally gifted it to a colleague.
He was happy, all good.

I like tobacco, I like scents that smell of tobacco, with a certain smoky sweetness.
That's why I got a sample bottle for testing.
A new bottle with a standardized capacity of 50ml costs about €200.

About the bottle:
The feel/grip is present and very good.
It sits well in the hand, quite heavy with a magnetic closure from the cap.
This matte finish is a dream.
Unfortunately, it is strongly opaque.
The spray nozzle does its job well, not particularly, rather sufficiently good.

About the scent:
After spraying, there is a distinct tobacco note, not dried, still slightly moist, fresh, authentic.
Followed by a light, not very pronounced rose and sweet vanilla.
Until ultimately this ambered sweetness remains with the woody oud.

Longevity for me is about 9-13 hours -- sprayed well and strongly.
This is already quite good.
Sillage in the first 5 hours is about an arm's length, then increasingly reduced.

Conclusion:
I quite like the scent after wearing it multiple times.
I can definitely consider a re-purchase and would recommend it to others as well.
Even better, if possible, organize a sample for testing beforehand.

Tested the fragrance in a perfumery, found it good, but is it good enough to purchase the bottle with a capacity of 50ml for a price of 200-250€?

About the bottle:
The tactile feel is present.
It fits quite well in the hand.
The spray nozzle does its job adequately well.

About the fragrance:
After spraying, there is a distinct berry note, red, fruity, juicy, authentic.
This remains until the dry down.
Quite quickly, the alcoholic note in the form of rum comes in, along with a slightly woody note from benzoin & for me, minimally enriched with oud.
Following that, a blend of spices and sweet vanilla emerges.
This also stays until the end.

Longevity for me is about 8-11 hours.
Sillage in the first 4 hours is about an arm's length, then increasingly reduced.

Conclusion:
I like the fragrance quite a bit after wearing it multiple times, but it doesn't excite me enough.
So far, I have always left the bottle in the perfumery.
