Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Top-tier perfume, made for cold weather. It bears a slight resemblance to Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, but once it dries down, it’s clear they’re quite different. On my skin, it smells of neroli, sandalwood and oud. It’s unisex, though the label suggests it’s more for women. It lasts over 10 hours; it’s a beast. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something intense and characterful, not for those who just want fruity florals.
