Woody? Ein? I’m not sure if my sense of smell is failing me, but this perfume smells nothing like the listed notes, not even the pyramid. To me, it’s super feminine and smells of currants (lots of them and for a long time) with an acidic, fresh touch that then darkens slightly with balsamic notes. A powdery, clean hint of iris, but very in the background. And little else. Honestly, I don’t smell woods, suede, or milk…
My best blind buy so far. At first, it’s quite sparkling and slightly fruity, sweet in just the right measure. Then, for almost its entire evolution, it’s quite lactonic, but not a gourmand lactonic, or at least not for me. It’s a soft, very pleasant lactonic scent that accompanies the white, resinous, and silky woody base beautifully. Exquisite. To me, it’s totally unisex, and it could even appeal to those who don’t usually enjoy such woody aromas. Very delicate yet attractive, because it invites you to get closer continuously. Its projection and trail are moderate, and its longevity on my skin is good, lasting over 8 hours and even reaching 10 hours closer to the skin. For me, that’s enough, but bear in mind that it’s a more intimate aroma, a kind of second skin, because if you’re expecting something else, you’ll be disappointed. Personally, I bought it on offer from the official house for around 50 euros, and at that price, it seems unbeatable. At the original price, I can understand why some might find the performance a bit short. I love it. I’d buy it a thousand times again, eager to try other things from the brand.
I feel it’s a bit like Tanger from the same OJ, but without the orangey tone. Elegant and refined, I’d say feminine unisex. It’s a light oriental scent, but I can’t identify a single one of the notes I’m reading. I’d say the moss, resins, and currants… might fit if at all. Good quality in terms of performance, good longevity and trail without being standout in a high-level context, quite solvent certainly. Charismatic women, try this. Adventurous men, you should consider it for spring-summer days.
