It brings back memories of Kiehl’s Original Musk: nothing beastly, just clean with a vintage feel that adds warmth. It has that touch of patchouli and florals that makes it comforting, with solid longevity and moderate projection.
It smells like Kiehl’s Original Musk—nothing beastly, just clean with a vintage vibe. It’s super comforting and cozy, with notes of patchouli and florals. The longevity is excellent and the projection is moderate.
I love it; it’s that scent where you hesitate between loving and hating it at first, but you can’t stop smelling it again. A unique olfactory experience—maybe not for everyday wear, but perfect for an intimate moment. It’s animalic, musky, and floral, very sexy. Like Papillon’s Salomé, it reminds me of the scent of female sex, which is why it captivates me.
It smells very animalic, but not with a heavy civet note; it smells more like low-quality wet mammal. The opening is boring and I don’t detect sweetness yet, though it’s hinted at. It satures quickly, seems to lack projection, but when it settles, it becomes noticeable again. It lasts about 8 hours at 1.5 meters. The evolution is linear until the animal notes drop off after 6 hours, leaving behind a synthetic, chocolatey, mushy wood. I don’t count that as real longevity because it’s already broken down, but at 8 hours, there’s a faint trail of animal, synthetic chocolate, and musk. As an animalic scent, it doesn’t stand out in quality or composition; I don’t see a reason to buy it. Scent: 2.5/10, Longevity: 6.5/10, Projection: 7/10, Emotional Impact: No, Originality: 2.3/10, Price: 105€ (50ml), Recommended: Low.
It smells very animalic, but not that heavy, civet-charged beastly kind; it sounds more like low-quality wet mammal. The opening is boring and lacks sweetness, though you can sense it’s coming. It satures quickly, seems to lack projection, but when it calms down, it reappears. It lasts about 8 hours at 1.5 meters. The development is linear until the animal notes fade (around 6 hours), then the base wood emerges—synthetic and chocolatey. After 8 hours, there’s a very soft mix of animal, synthetic chocolate, and musk. As an animalic scent, it doesn’t stand out in quality or composition; I don’t see a reason to wear it. Scent: 2.5/10, Longevity: 6.5/10, Projection: 7/10, Emotional Impact: No, Originality: 2.3/10, Price: 105€ (50ml), Recommended: Low.
