Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
In my opinion, this is a perfume that takes a little while to get used to at first, but gradually the scent starts hypnotizing you until it completely captivates you. I wouldn’t recommend buying it blindly; it’s better suited for special occasions and in mild or cold climates.
At first, it took me a while to get used to it, but among all my fragrances, this is the one that stands out the most when worn together. It’s normal for multiple scents to blend and create chords, but there’s always one that shines brighter in the opening, which caught my attention. I ended up using it again a few days later and definitely fell in love with it. It has a citrusy and sweet top note that lasts about 40 minutes, then transitions into a sweet, slightly powdery heart that lingers for another 2 hours before settling into a fully woody dry down. Perfect for night outs: with 5 to 8 sprays, you’ll be a beast for about 3 hours, and after that, anyone who gets close to you will love its incredible woody base. Best for people 25 and up, ideally at night or in winter; if worn during the day, it doesn’t project as much.
