Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
For me, it’s a dream perfume: upon spraying, a sweet orange with fig leaves dominates, followed by the lily of the valley and a spicy hint of cinnamon that gives it an exotic, sophisticated air. Hours later, a creamy sandalwood with amber, vanilla and incense wraps around you, leaving a brilliant and powerful trail. It’s a fantasy on the skin, full of mystery and memory.
I love this scent: it’s unique, unconventional and hard to clone. It opens citrusy with cinnamon, but dries down to become spicy, vanilla-rich and sandalwood-based. The drydown is elegant and silky, very huggable. Beautiful, worth collecting given the Xerjoff quality. I see it as more unisex-feminine, though it could work for anyone; ideal only for autumn-winter, on cold, nostalgic rainy days. It evokes the start of a symphony that becomes deeper and softer to the soul. A 10/10.
A spicy fragrance where cinnamon, amber and incense reign supreme. It opens with orange and vanilla, gradually revealing sandalwood and Bulgarian rose. It lasts three hours, but what lingers is a soft, clean skin scent with a hint of vanilla. I perceive it as unisex in every sense: attractive, enigmatic, addictive and nothing casual. Velvet and mysterious.
Perfect harmony in the notes. 👏👏👏👏👏
High-end fruity scent. For my nose, the star is the orange: sweet but not overpowering. Very balanced; it projects as a whole distinct from the individual notes. Although it says orange, it’s not sharp and sour, but a vanilla-infused fruit with a woody body. It’s not particularly elegant, but it’s versatile and perfect for cold weather.
