Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
It’s a hidden treasure, just as others say. It shares the same charisma as Black Phantom and Insomnia by Faviol Seferi, but it’s slightly more wearable without losing its exclusivity. It defines sexiness, ideal for dates (obviously for those over 25). The longevity is brutal and the evolution masterful: it starts floral, reminiscent of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, and dries down to earthy chocolate with vanilla and coffee nuances; it even smells like that kulfi from Noir Extreme. Be careful, on Fragrantica the notes aren’t listed well and it’s called Orchid Leather without mentioning orchid or leather.
A true gem where dark and deep labdanum is the star, accompanied by a semi-liqueur plum and the spiced sweetness of vanilla and cardamom. Some compare it to Black Phantom, but I prefer this one; it’s also more usable and less sweet.
Intoxicating fragrance: potent vanilla with intense leather and a slightly sticky note. Incense and an alcoholic plum appear at the end. It smells sweet but has a dark personality. Longevity is high, it lingers on clothes, so be careful. The trail is powerful, no more than three sprays. It’s unique and addictive, not for everyone, especially not for lovers of conventional vanilla.
