    Beautiful unisex perfume, but I threw it away straight away as it smells almost identical to Givenchy’s Ange Ou Demon; there’s no point owning both.

  2. If you’re looking for longevity and projection, Givenchy’s Ange Ou Demon takes the cake over this…

    It’s exactly what I expected: perfect for an opera night. What’s won me over most is the house, but the longevity is a disaster. It’s ridiculous that the one it resembles, Ange Ou Demon, lasts longer and costs three times less. They should take it off sale; it’s a shame that a niche perfume with quality ingredients fails so badly in performance. It annoys me that the one I like most is the worst in longevity and weighs in at 325 euros, nearly 100 more than the others that last all day on the skin.

  5. I see it as unisex; it has a very special, distinguished, and strong scent without being heavy. It’s a floral blend, slightly sweet and woody. Like the other review, I went for Erba Pura but ended up preferring this one.

  7. Just bought it after trying Erba Pura. It’s majestic, very enveloping, with a subtle rose that isn’t cloying; very stately, perfume made of delicacy. The trail isn’t very wide, which I like, but the longevity is a shame. For now, it’s my favourite. I see it as more feminine, but it depends on the person.

  8. This scent suits a man more, but I don’t mind; if you like it, wear it without a care. It’s strong for winter, with heavy clothes; surely you’ll attract glances and compliments. I love it because the fruit smells dry and the nut gives it a creamy touch. Next time, I’ll mix it with Nosamato’s Narcotic.
