Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
This brand knows how to do things right. Every time I try something new, I fall in love with it even more. If you’re looking for a winter gourmand that doesn’t smell like all those cloying Liquid Burn or Althair clones, here’s the solution. It lasts forever, projects luxuriously, and the note quality is surprising: the opening smells more like grape juice than red wine, with a heart of chocolate and tobacco that leaves no one indifferent. For me, 10/10.
What a surprise! If you haven’t smelled this yet, highly recommended. A mysterious and exotic aroma, with an opening that for me is the best, the most special part: the wine accord gives it all the magic. It smells like fermented grape, not necessarily like wine itself, but that distinct scent of fermented fruit. Combined with the creaminess of the almonds and the spice of the pepper, it creates a spectacular opening. The perfume is incredibly evolving; within minutes you get a woody, smoky, tobacco heart… it turns oriental and mysterious here. But as it dries down, the script flips again, bringing back the sweet part that lasts for hours: a flood of very creamy vanilla, with hints of caramel and tonka bean. Enjoy the journey, because that’s what this perfume offers. THE PROBLEM, or the big issue, is that it lacks both longevity and sillage… 🙁 On my skin, it has moderate sillage for the first two hours, then becomes nonexistent, lasting no more than 5 hours even if you’re optimistic. For me, this costs it many points.
I was drawn in by the notes of red wine, chocolate, and almond. I tried it, and the opening/first hour is very interesting. But then the wine note fades, and it settles into a gourmand with vanilla, almond, and aldehyde vibes. I’d say it’s more unisex-female. Worth a try given the initial experience.
