    So rich and original! Finally got my little bottle of the Caribbean Pirates edition of this dense, decadent elixir. I can’t help but wonder a few things, looking at this little vial that looks like it was rescued from Captain Hook’s ship at the bottom of the ocean. What do pirates eat? I guess the poor guys are just eating fish non-stop, and I doubt milk keeps well in those conditions, so I hope this dessert note takes that into account. Maybe it’s the rum that keeps everything fresh longer. I can only imagine how much they’d love to have this after all that fish. Overall, I’m super happy with my artifact from the curiosity shop; as a gourmand lover, I absolutely adore this scent, and the concentration is insane.

  2. They gave me the bottle with the wax seal and twine on the cap; it’s not the same as in the photo because they changed the bottle, though it’s the same perfume. The one with the twine was a limited edition. I love it, especially when dry: it’s sweet without being cloying and leaves a gorgeous trail. The longevity is excellent, and I doubt anyone would dislike it. It’s unisex, though I lean towards seeing it as unisex/masculine. If you try it, you’ll definitely love it for cold weather.

  3. They gifted me the bottle with the wax seal and twine on the cap, which doesn’t match the current photo because they changed the packaging; the twine version was a limited edition. I love it, especially dry: it’s sweet without being cloying, smells amazing, lasts forever, and I’m sure nobody will mind it. It’s unisex, though I see it more as unisex/masculine. If you try it, you’ll love it for cold days.
