  1. They gifted me this for $20 – a 30ml bottle containing 25ml of pure fragrance. I bought it out of curiosity, knowing it’s discontinued and sells for around $300 on eBay, so I thought it might be a treasure. Oh my goodness, what a delight! What a magnificent scent; I’ll cherish every drop. It opens with a spicy, sharp note that fades quickly, then gives way to a cosy, sweet base where you can really detect the pine – simply delicious. It’s perfect for mild and cold weather, nothing for the summer.

And oh my goodness, what a delight! What a wonderful scent; I’ll treasure every drop. It opens spicy and sharp, fades quickly, and then comes the cosy, sweet base where you can detect the pine. What a treat. It’s for mild and cold climates, nothing for summer.

  3. It was a Christmas gift from my brother, a delicious and nocturnal fragrance, intoxicating and sensual. It’s enveloping, feeling like a caress. I loved it as soon as I had it, and unfortunately, it’s discontinued. A gem like few others, always in my memory.
