A classic white floral on wood and honeyed sweetness; the peach and a dirty jasmine shine with aldehydes, evoking a fruity, rustic Chanel No. 5. It has nothing to do with LOVE dont be shy, which is sweeter and caramelised, delicious but distinct. Reckless is more classic with that dirty sweetness, though it reminds me of a blend of Forbidden Games and Voulez Coucher Avec Moi, or better still, Hummingbird by Zoologist with white flowers and spicy honey. I see it as unisex, daily wear with a good balance: Scent 7.5, Longevity 8.5, Sillage 6, Value for Money 5, Versatility 7, Originality 7, Overall 8.
It is a classic of white florals over a woody and sweet base, with a honeyed sweetness. The peach is very noticeable alongside a quite dirty jasmine. The aldehydes make it shine and give it that classic touch, like a fruity, dirty Chanel No. 5 as Panta says. I don’t understand the comparisons with LOVE dont be shy; LOVE is much sweeter, with prominent caramel and delicious. Although they share white florals, they have nothing to do with each other. LOVE is a 10, addictive and nocturnal, whereas Reckless is more classic with a dirtier sweetness. It reminds me of a blend of Forbidden Games with Voulez Coucher Avec Moi, but what most evokes is Hummingbird by Zoologist, with those white flowers and spicy honey. I see it as unisex, with a masculine version and for daily use. Scent: 7.5, Longevity: 8.5, Sillage: 6, Value for Money: 5, Versatility: 7, Originality: 7, Overall: 8.
I tested it in full summer thanks to a Luckyscent vial. Despite the daring name, I loved it at a late-night outdoor party. It has moderate sillage but excellent longevity. On my skin it smells classic, probably due to the aldehydes, but not old. What stands out most is a juicy, ripe peach. The flowers blend well without any one being identifiable, and the base notes add depth; my inexperienced nose can’t distinguish anything else. I loved it. I still felt it like an enveloping cloud when I woke up. It is pricey, but the quality justifies the cost. I am glad I tried it.
