The only bearable after 5 attempts
I tried Etruscan Water, Lost in Heaven (the worse), Sticky Fingers, and The Dark Side. The only one that is more or less usable is Sex and The Sea Neroli. I say more or less because the scent is very intense (not very projecting) but very heavy, and it smells like you have rubbed a piece of soap onto your skin.
I wish I had the same excitement as famous reviewers. I tend to believe they will never give a bad review on any fragrance to not make them look bad to brands so they can keep receiving samples, discounts, and free bottles. I can't understand how they go crazy on Lost in Heaven, a scent that smells like sweat body parts (if you know what I mean).
STSN is the fresher, "lighter," and the one that is pleasant enough on the skin. At some point, the coconut is very present, increasing this rubbed soap sensation. The animalic here is not annoying at all, nor are the honey or the Vetiver cloying.
Where to wear it?
I can't really tell. Maybe a night out for dinner.
Who can use this?
Certainly not the young. I see people voting as more feminine, but I disagree. A man can safely wear it in a more appropriate context like a business relaxed dinner, dating perhaps not on the first date, and so on.
I officially give up on this house, though. Perhaps I don't have enough nose-grandeur to appreciate them.

Nice, but Clove might be too loud
I got a decant because the notes are very interesting, but I was skeptical due to the Aldehydes. I feared it turning the pink pepper and Bergamot into stinky artificial notes, but to my surprise, all the top notes are very well tamed and pleasant. I wish they would last more. The exit is just amazing and sophisticated.
After half an hour, the citruses recede, opening the door to the Clove that was already present. The Clove dominates very much until the 3rd hour when it finally gives some space to some resinous form. The wood is shyer than expected, perhaps because of the Frankincense sweetened by a noticeable caramel and the "invisible" Vanilla.
In the 4th hour, it had lost its power a lot and will not project beyond my skin. But you can still notice it as you move and people get really close. It becomes more powdery and has a bit make-up-like scent (not too much or unbearable, just a resemblance)
Where would I wear it?
It's versatile! Do not take it as a simplistic scent, though. It is sophisticated, and people will notice you. It might be too sweet for certain moments, but controlling the spry will help. I see this fitting a date, cinema, dinner, or even a casual night out. Wearable all the day, but better fitting the night I would say.
Can it become a signature?
Not for me.
I have no problem with Clove, but perhaps it was too much for me. Because it's such a common ingredient used to give some aroma to food and deserts, I kind of expect more elaborate ingredients to dominate. The sweet also seems to be coming from the Karamell, one scale above the Vanilla; if their presence were reversed, perhaps I would like it even more. But it still has the potential if you enjoy Clover better than I do.
A good fragrance to be part of the collection and spray for various moments in my life!

Cold incense
The Saffron opens up fighting for attention with the Cardamom. After they calm down, enters the black wrapper in Incense.
It's a nice fragrance for sure, but the impression I have is that all notes are pointing to the same direction; all sharp, cold, and spicy. It feels like some sweet is lacking to counterbalance things a bit, as it's super dry.
You need to be in the mood to wear it. I can't find a lot of occasions where I would spray it 3 or 4 times before going (I'm 40 yo/M). For the time being, it will remain as a fragrance for my notes explorations and learning and less for real use.
I could not find smaller samples before buying, but I highly recommend you try it before getting a bottle.
