  To my nose, it’s easy to wear, pleasant, daily, unisex, clean and neat, and summery. I believe it’s eclipsed, perhaps justifiably, by the number 5, which for me is exceptional, and even more so unjustly by all the others in the series. It’s an undervalued fragrance in the current world; they are two brothers who, though different in appearance, share a common substrate that makes them shine. They are family, yes, but antagonistic like night and day. The number 5 isn’t suitable for every place; each has its own spot. Whereas the 5 is ambered, deep, dark, and winterly, this is the exact opposite and perhaps wins on versatility. I also don’t understand what the number 1 has that’s better; it doesn’t even have anything to envy the number 6, perhaps the closest of all. It’s elegant on a man, attractive on a woman. How does the number 3 smell? In the opening, bergamot and neroli stand out with a continuous low note that is slightly smoky, deep, and fine. The iris and neroli are worked very much in the Prada style. Perhaps at first it seems more like a simple lemony citrus, but after a few minutes the iris opens up and the magic happens; it develops fantastically, which is the part I like most. The flowers give way to something clean, neat, and pretty, with the house’s DNA in the background. After hours, the woods are felt: a creamy sandalwood and a musk that wraps around you. That said: it’s essential to test on skin, as the notes develop completely differently on the dry-down. It doesn’t seem niche given how easy it is to wear, but the quality of the ingredients is noticeable, especially in the dry-down. This type of perfume reminds me of a friend who said it was a foolishness to invest in a good wine, but at a dinner, after spending the ‘expensive’ one, no one could drink the cheap one. Quality is sometimes noticed by contrast. A priori, it may seem like any ordinary citrus and white flower combo, even ‘simple’, but it isn’t. The more I wear it, the more details and nuances I find; it never bores me. The jasmine isn’t piercing or synthetic like a Mugler, but credible, a sunny garden flower. This is what Tom Ford wanted to recreate in his summer collections. In summary, it has a kind, beautiful, and elegant character. It’s a very refined and easy-to-wear citrus/floral fragrance. Versatile, it doesn’t suffocate or bore. The pity: it’s perhaps too expensive for what it offers and lacks significant projection or sillage.

  I love this perfume; it denotes cleanliness and tidiness. It’s an aroma that reflects the evolution of a notable neroli in the opening, followed a few minutes later by a fantastic iris, pure Prada style but of superior quality. It’s not a loud perfume designed to attract attention, but it conveys relaxation, peace, and good humour. It’s very unlikely that anyone won’t like it. The price is somewhat high, but if you are a lover of clean scents, it’s a good purchase.

  This number 3 is very weak. In my opinion, it doesn’t measure up to other creations in the line.

  Unisex? It’s totally feminine. I can’t see myself wearing this perfume; I’d feel uncomfortable. And that, despite me being comfortable wearing unisex perfumes without issue. High quality, medium longevity.

  Exquisite. Give it a try; it’s a hidden gem.

  I like it very much, although I feel it leans more feminine. I wear it comfortably at home. It opens with a citrus bomb and a bright iris that gradually becomes powdery. The floral accords and musk make it smell clean and classy, yes, particularly on a woman. It’s aromatic with a touch of vanilla. I see it for formal occasions, less so in cold weather. It performs and projects well. It’s a good fragrance, truthfully; I wouldn’t buy it myself, but I find it very interesting.

  It’s a powdery, creamy iris. If you want to understand what ‘creamy’ means, smell RM3 a few minutes after spraying. It reminds me hugely of Nishane’s Ambra Calabria and it’s hard to find similar scents. They share a neroli and jasmine opening with an amber and vanilla base. I see it as 100% unisex, although men who love vintage fougères (like Kouros or Viking) won’t enjoy it due to obvious prejudices. Instead, it’s top-tier for both women and men. Wear it only in spring and summer. It’s ideal for dates as it invites closeness without being overwhelming.

  It’s a powdery, creamy iris. If you want to know what ‘creamy’ means, smell the RM3 a few minutes after spraying it. It bears a strong resemblance to Nishane’s Ambra Calabria, a scent with very few similar counterparts. They share an opening of neroli and jasmine with an amber and vanilla base. I’d rate it 100% unisex, but it won’t appeal to men who love vintage fougères (Kouros, Viking, etc.) for obvious reasons or prejudice. Otherwise, fear not; it’s top-tier for both women and men. Suitable only for spring and summer. It’s excellent for dates as it invites closeness without being overpowering.

  Dries beautifully and is addictive. The longevity is good, though the projection is just adequate. My only gripe is that it smells super feminine; it’s divine on a woman, but on my skin it feels out of place, and others have confirmed it. It’s fantastic on female skin. I’d rate it as unisex at a 1, and slightly at a 5. The number 7 (patchouli) is more masculine.
