LEKA1977
With a name like this, anyone would think it’s a light, fresh eau de toilette, but my goodness, the initial impact is brutal, almost knocking me over; it smells like bear pheromones mixed with digestif. After months, I tried it with just two drops and the evolution is another world: within 15 minutes it stops being animalistic and settles into an absolute leather, sturdy, with notes of amber, suede, spices, musk, and ripe plums. It’s animal, creamy, enveloping, and comforting, nothing like those trendy sweets. I’d recommend it if you love Kenzo Jungle, Opium, Poison, or Versace Donna. I adored it.

A perfume with plenty of character, suitable for both men and women, that only seduces lovers of pure scents from the old days. It begins with unusual fruity and spicy notes before settling into an amber and incense that cling to the skin for hours. It transports you back to a time when perfume was a scarce commodity and not a single drop was wasted; its potency is such that a 2.5 ml sample lasted me almost a month with daily use.
SKENDER
A jewel of perfumery, exotic and unique. Today I saw a review saying they were finishing it off, but that’s a lie; it’s exclusive and unique, the kind of perfume you should only gift to your worst enemy.
Sharlette
The very worst of the worst, an utterly aberrant and repulsive mess. It smells dreadful, like skunk urine detectable from miles away. Surely it was created by someone high on drugs or alcohol. It’s impossible for anyone with their five senses to create such an atrocity.
