  Decant analysis: It combines soft rose and jasmine to give a very light almond scent that’s hard to identify on the wearer. Although it lasts more than 8 hours on clothes and has a close bubble trail, I wouldn’t buy or recommend it because that light hazelnut note leaves a ‘weird’ impression. Zero versatility.

  This is LOVE at first sight. One of my favorite almond scents: sweet and powerful. It has a very marked citrus soul, and the rose is present throughout almost the entire duration. The performance is brutal, it lasts forever, and it’s super easy to wear. Without a doubt, it goes straight to my wishlist. Scent: 10. Longevity: 10. Projection: 7. Originality: 10. Versatility: 8. Total: 10.

  From the first spray, the scent left me perplexed: impossible to categorize, as if it refuses to fit into any box. At first, citrus and sweet notes blend with a mysterious base in an enigmatic cloud you can’t quite grasp. After five minutes, it starts to reveal its soul: a slightly acidic almond wrapped in a subtle sweetness that defines its character. It’s like every note dances in perfect choreography. By fifteen minutes, the lemon is still there, but it has intertwined with jasmine, creating an elegant and fresh floral heart. Shortly after, at the half-hour mark, a surprise note appears, not listed on the official sheet: a sweet, warm, and playful licorice that completely changes the vibe. By the hour, the magic is pure tonka bean: rich, sweet, and seductive. I’ve never smelled tonka like this; it gives me an exotic sensation, like an olfactory journey to deep roots. By two hours, the sweetness intensifies; the tonka becomes gourmand, almost vanilla-like (even though it’s not on the list, my nose detects it). It’s a perfume that leaves me speechless. By three hours, the sweetness reaches a fascinating peak. By four and a half hours, the trail fades, but the scent remains faithful: that sweet, warm, and intimate tonka, the undisputed protagonist until 12 hours when it disappears from my skin. It is, without a doubt, the best tonka bean scent I’ve ever smelled.
