Reminds me of Kiehl’s Original Musk: nothing beastly, but clean with a vintage feel that adds warmth. It has that touch of patchouli and florals that makes it comforting, with solid longevity and moderate projection.
Smells like Kiehl’s Original Musk, nothing beastly, more clean with a vintage vibe. It’s super comforting and cosy, with a touch of patchouli and florals. Lasting power is very good and projection is moderate.
I love it; it’s that scent where you hesitate between loving and hating it at first, but you can’t stop smelling it again; a unique olfactory experience, perhaps not for everyday wear but for an intimate moment. It’s animalic, musky, and floral, very sexy. Like Papillon’s Salomé, it reminds me of the smell of female sex, which is why it bewitches me.
It smells very animalic, but not heavily loaded with civet; it smells more like low-quality wet mammal. The opening is boring and I don’t detect sweetness yet, although it’s hinted at. It satures quickly, seems to lack projection, but when it settles it becomes noticeable again; lasts about 8 hours on 1.5 metres. The evolution is linear until the animal notes drop after 6 hours, leaving a crumbled synthetic chocolate wood. I don’t count that as real lasting power because it’s all broken, but at 8 hours there’s a soft trail of animal, synthetic chocolate, and musk. As an animal scent it’s poor, doesn’t stand out in quality or composition; I see no reason to buy it. Scent: 2.5/10, Longevity: 6.5/10, Projection: 7/10, Emotional: No, Originality: 2.3/10, Price: €105 (50ml), Recommended: Low.
It smells very animalic, but not that beastly, civet-heavy stuff; it sounds more like low-quality wet mammal. The opening is boring and lacks sweetness, although it’s hinted that it’s coming. It satures quickly, seems to lack projection, but when it settles it reappears. Lasts about 8 hours on 1.5 metres. The development is linear until the animal notes drop (around 6 hours), then the base wood appears, synthetic and chocolatey. From 8 hours onwards, there’s a very soft mix of animal, synthetic chocolate, and musk. As an animal scent it doesn’t stand out in quality or composition; I see no reason to wear it.
