  A curious fragrance. The opening is both green and floral, with a touch of mint and a neroli that resembles a bud, not fully in bloom. Coffee and tobacco are hinted at from the start, imparting a dry, bitter air, albeit very subtly; the tobacco nearly vanishes by the mid-stage. With time, the green notes give way to vanilla and balsams, making it sweeter and creamier. The neroli eventually explodes into its full glory. The scent becomes more floral, bordering on feminine (in my view) compared to the beginning, yet remains unobtrusive. The coffee is still perceptible, though not a distinct note, so if you want a potent coffee scent, look elsewhere. In the end, it leaves a vanilla-neroli blend with that slight coffee note, devoid of the initial green facets. Performance is remarkable: a small amount lasts a minimum of 10 hours and projects well. Unisex, although it has more feminine phases. Ideal for any climate except extreme heat. To sum up: a beautiful perfume with logical evolution and great longevity, but expensive. It’s worth a try, particularly if you seek a neroli that isn’t too feminine.

  Smells intriguing. It opens green and floral with a hint of mint and a neroli that feels like a bud, not quite fully bloomed. From the start, coffee and tobacco are noticeable, giving a dry, bitter touch, though the tobacco almost disappears by the mid-stage. Over time, the green notes yield to vanilla and balsams, becoming sweeter and creamier. The neroli finally bursts forth and the scent turns more floral, even slightly feminine (in my opinion), yet remains comfortable. The coffee remains present but isn’t the main focus, so if you’re seeking a strong coffee note, look elsewhere. Ultimately, it settles into a vanilla-neroli blend with a subtle coffee undertone, without the initial green opening. Performance is astonishing: a little goes a long way, lasting at least 10 hours with decent projection. It’s unisex, though with more feminine phases, and suits any weather except extreme heat. In short, it’s a lovely perfume with excellent evolution and longevity, albeit pricey. I’d recommend trying it, especially if you’re looking for a neroli that isn’t overly feminine.

  Trying it out now and honestly, I’ve liked it. The mix of whites with coffee and a sweet touch works well and performs quite a bit. The issue is that, at the price it commands, I don’t think I’ll be taking it home. It smells like something I’ve tried before but I can’t remember which. Scent: 8 Longevity: 10 Sillage: 8 Value for money: 7 Versatility: 8 Overall: 8.5

  Currently testing it and honestly, I’m hooked. The blend of white florals, coffee and sweetness works brilliantly and lasts well. The downside is that, given the price, I don’t think I’ll be buying it. It smells like something I’ve encountered before but can’t quite recall which.
