Innana
It’s a truly unisex perfume. At first, it’s very woody, but after 20 minutes, the vanilla kicks in and balances everything out. It has a spicy, peppery note that I love. It’s the first woody perfume I’ve bought since I usually go for sweeter scents, but I was craving something like this in my collection. It’s quite soft and pleasant, never overpowering. It reminds me a bit of Armani Code for Men, but I feel it’s sweeter and more subtle. Also, it has much less projection.

It’s truly unisex. At first, it smells like wood, but after 20 minutes, the vanilla kicks in and balances everything out. There’s a spicy, peppery note that really hits the spot. It’s the first woody scent I’ve bought since I usually go for sweeter things, but I was craving something like this in my collection. It’s quite soft and pleasant, never overpowering.

Tonidi
It’s a pink and oud blend. At first, it comes out citrusy, spiced, and slightly woody, but within minutes, a fresh, prominent rose dominates and lasts throughout the fragrance. Paired with woods (if there’s oud, it’s very well-behaved), it gradually sweetens with tonka bean, ending with a subtle vanilla touch. It’s very good, perfect for daytime, spring, and autumn, elegant, with a sillage of about a meter for almost two hours. It lasted 7 hours on my skin. I’m not sure where they got the idea for ‘Across the Ocean’; it’s a subtle and elegant pink-oud blend. Totally unisex.
Taurien
From the very first moment, it smells like something I already know. I quickly realized it’s like the Erba Pura by Xerjoff in its dry-down phase. My nose skips the fruity opening and goes straight to a powerful musky base with vanilla. It performs well, with a noticeable trail for the first two hours and moderate projection afterward, lasting 9-10 hours on my skin. It’s a bit less intense than the Xerjoff but at almost half the price. Scent: 8.5/10, Longevity: 9.5/10, Sillage: 7.5/10, Value: 8/10, Packaging: 9/10. Would I buy it again? No, I haven’t purchased it.
