Taurien
I love it: citrus and oud (not listed) with a sweet praliné touch that doesn’t dominate. The iris doesn’t smell powdery on my skin; instead, it highlights the saffron-leather accord. Performance is good, though I’d like it to last longer; the trail is strong for 3 hours, then sits close to the skin until 8–9 hours. It resembles Zara’s Magnificently Dubai, but this is more complex. Given the huge price difference, I’d stick with Zara. Scent 8/10, Longevity 8.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value for money 5/10, Versatility 6.5/10, Packaging 8/10. Would I buy again? I haven’t purchased it yet.

An elegant and sexy perfume for any skin type; on me, it smells sophisticated and seductive. It opens sparkling and fresh, perhaps due to the saffron and spices, but fades quickly to reveal the floral, musky side and a subtle iris reminiscent of makeup without the typical violet. It’s deep and very unisex. Later, it turns sweet and woody, with a leather note that’s not overly animalic—subtle yet enveloping. It’s not identical to Dior Homme Intense, but it recalls Magnificently Dubai with many nuances. Thanks to Pafory’s advent calendar, I tried it and now I need it. Projection isn’t extreme, but it lasts over 10 hours on my skin, staying close to the skin until 14 hours or more. If you like talc-y leather and a makeup-like scent, give it a try 🥰
