It smells exactly like Black Orchid.

It’s the best version of Bond No 9’s TriBeCa. I also own Maison Alhambra’s Luxe Blanc (it doesn’t appear on Fragantica, why?), which smells lovely and lasts long, though it has a higher alcohol content. Bharara’s Viking is the king: well-made and a true beast mode. I’d love to try Jo Milano Paris’s Game of Spades Royale, but it’s hard to find in Spain. If you adore caramelised white flowers with wood, buy it without hesitation.

A rich floral that’s present all the time, although the ambroxan tries to neutralise it; in the end, the sweetness wins.

I bought it blind and it was a mistake. I let myself be swept away by the hype and was disappointed. I can’t understand how others like it. From the comments, I only share that it’s feminine with a touch of orange, and indeed, I feel it that way. The notes of cacao, caramel, and hazelnut are non-existent; it just smells floral with hints of coconut and orange, slightly earthy (perhaps due to the hazelnut). I clearly don’t like it. I tested it with three perfumer friends and we were all repulsed. It’s very potent; I have it boxed to resell, and even in the box, it smells floral with coconut. The only good thing is that it lasts for days and has a massive sillage (it’s in the box and the whole room smells), but use it at your own risk.

I bought it a month ago and absolutely loved it 💕 It’s sweet, floral, and features one of the most realistic jasmine notes I’ve tried. On my skin, it’s sweet but not cloying. The cacao and hazelnut give a coconut sensation, even though it’s not declared. It doesn’t evolve much, staying soft and consistent. It’s not a beast in terms of longevity, but it lasts all day. Would I buy it again? 👌 Yes, definitely.

It’s like combining TriBeCa and Baccarat Rouge. I like it; I give it 100/10. It’s suitable for more than 12 occasions a year, not so much in extreme heat.

It doesn’t smell feminine to me. I already tested it on skin and liked it quite a bit. It’s not very cloying either; in fact, it smells less sweet than Scandal. I love the scent.

I have a decant and it smells feminine to me. On my nose, it smells like vanilla pancake with orange. I don’t know why they haven’t released the other three Bharara Kings yet.
